Men in Blue maintain clean slate
Men In Blue Maintain Clean Slate. India virtually assured themselves of a quarterfinal berth in the ICC World Cup-2015 after spanking minnows UAE by nine wickets, recording their third successive win with yet another flawless display, here on Saturday.
Perth: India virtually assured themselves of a quarterfinal berth in the ICC World Cup-2015 after spanking minnows UAE by nine wickets, recording their third successive win with yet another flawless display, here on Saturday.
After the bowlers led by off-spinner R Ashwin (4/25) bundled out UAE for a paltry 102 in only 31.3 overs, the batsmen made short work of the target knocking off the required runs in only 18.5 overs in a completely lop-sided Pool ‘B’ contest.
India thus maintained their grip on the top spot in the league table with three wins from as many matches which took their points tally
to six.
With three matches against West Indies, Zimbabwe and Ireland left, Dhoni and his boys, are well on course of topping the group.
Brief scores: UAE: 102 (Shaiman Anwar 35; Ravichandran Ashwin 4/25) lost to India: 104 for one in 18.5 overs (Rohit Sharma 57, Virat
Kohli 33; Mohammad Naveed 1/35).
