The India Pakistan match might be over, but the Twitter reactions aren't
India clinched a dominating victory against age-old arch-rivals Pakistan in Abu Dhabi on Wednesday, 19th of September as part of the group stage matches of the Asia Cup, 2018. After a destructive bowling attack from the Indians, Pakistan were bowled out for a meagre total of 162 runs on the board.
The Pakistani bowlers didn't test the Indian batting lineup much, as India finished the match in 29 overs with 8 wickets remaining. Captain Rohit Sharma played a beautiful inning gathering 52 runs for his team, while bowler Bhuvneshwar Kumar was awarded the Man of the Match for his 3 wickets and an astonishing economy rate of 2.14.
