In terms of wickets in hand, this is India’s joint-biggest margin of victory against Pakistan in ODIs.

Also, this latest win in the Asia Cup is India’s 10th consecutive successful chase in the continental event.

Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan put on a partnership of 86 for the opening wicket and they helped the ‘Men in Blue’ chase down the target comfortably. The duo also crossed few milestones along the way during their scintillating innings.

This was the 23rd fifty plus partnership between Dhawan and Rohit and the 11th half-century partnership for the first wicket between this pair — joint third most among Indian pairs for first wicket along with Sunil Gavaskar-Kris Srikkanth. Only Sourav Ganguly-SachinTendulkar (23) and Virender Sehwag-Tendulkar (18) have more than the swashbuckling current Indian opening pair.
