Asia Cup: Kuldeep stars as India restrict Pakistan to 127/9 despite Shaheen’s cameoDubai: India’s spin-heavy strategy paid off handsomely once again as Kuldeep Yadav spearheaded a clinical bowling display to restrict Pakistan to 127/9 in their Asia Cup Group A clash at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium here on Sunday. Opting to field just one frontline seamer once again, India’s spin bowling trio of Kuldeep, Axar Patel, and Varun Chakaravarthy stifled Pakistan by picking six wickets collectively. The sluggish Dubai surface further aided India’s tweakers, whose control and variations left Pakistan struggling for momentum throughout their innings. A brace of sixes from Shaheen and Sufiyan Muqeem, striking Bumrah for consecutive boundaries, took Pakistan past the 100-run mark. Brief scores:Pakistan 127/9 in 20 overs (Sahibzada Farhan 40, Shaheen Shah Afridi 33 not out; Kuldeep Yadav 3-18, Axar Patel 2-18) against India
