Salman admits Pakistan lost momentum after first 10 overs in contest

Pakistan skipper Salman Ali Agha conceded that his side was found wanting in every aspect of the game in its Asia Cup Super 4 clash against India here with batting being particularly difficult after the first 10 overs. Pakistan, after scoring 91 runs in the first 10 overs, could only manage 80 in the next 10 after Shivam Dube bowled a fantastic three-over spell in which he got two wickets and gave away only 16 runs. "The batting was a lot better today, and that's a positive. The way our start was, we could have scored 15 more (overall). But when the ball goes soft after 10 overs, it's not as easy to bat," Salman said after the six-wicket loss here on Sunday night. "...we didn't bowl as well in the powerplay and got punished. But our start should have ensured that we scored 180," he added. Salman also admitted that his bowlers could not handle the flying start that the Indians were off to in a tricky chase of 172. Openers Abhishek Sharma (74) and Shubman Gill (47) hammered the rival

Suryakumar Yadav compares Shubman and Abhishek to fire and ice in Friends

The contrasting batting styles of inseparable best buddies Abhishek Sharma and Shubman Gill makes them a riveting "fire-and-ice" combination in India's T20 cricket set-up, feels skipper Suryakumar Yadav. On Sunday, what looked like a tricky chase of 172 in the Asia Cup clash against arch foes Pakistan, became a cakewalk because the two best friends since the age of 10, conjured an eye-catching 105-run opening stand. Abhishek went on to score a scintillating 74 off 39 balls, his first fifty in the tournament while Gill shrugged off disappointment of an underwhelming league stage with a facile 47 off 28 balls. "It's like a fire-and-ice combination. They complement each other really well. And that's what I want to see. If someone is batting brilliantly, the other can take the back-seat and rotate the strike. It was required today to have a very good start. And they did (provide that)," Suryakumar told mediapersons after India's six-wicket win in the Super 4 game here on Sunday. Having

Ashwin comes in defence of Pycroft ahead of India vs Pakistan Super 4 clash

Former India off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has backed match referee Andy Pycroft amid Pakistan's criticism in the post-match handshake controversy, saying the Zimbabwean official is not a "school teacher" and was only doing his job to avoid an unnecessary spectacle. Pycroft was the referee last Sunday when India, as a policy decision, did not shake hands with Pakistan after their Asia Cup match. He was dragged into the controversy after India skipper Suryakumar Yadav did not follow the convention at the toss. The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) wrote two emails to the ICC first requesting Pycroft's removal from the tournament and then seeking his exclusion from their games. Both demands were rejected, with the world body standing firmly behind its Elite Panel referee. "Andy Pycroft actually saved everybody from seeing such a poor spectacle. India informed the match referee in advance this is our decision, and we will follow it. That's it. After all this drama, you lost the match. S
