Younus shines in Pakistan’s win over India
KARACHI, July 2: Younus Khan hit a magnificent century as Pakistan achieved a much needed eight-wicket win against India in the Asia Cup Super League match at the National Stadium on Wednesday.
Younus helped his side overhaul India’s total of 308-7 with an unbeaten knock of 123 off 117 balls. The win helped Pakistan stay in the tournament and leaves them hoping that India lose to Sri Lanka on Thursday. The hosts would then seek to beat Bangladesh on Friday.
India need a win on Thursday to reach the July 6 final.
Younus, declared man-of-the-match, shared a crucial unbroken 144-run stand for the third wicket with stand-in captain Misbah-ul-Haq who hit seven boundaries and a six in his unbeaten 62-ball 70.—AFP
