Kuldeep Yadav and Shivam Dube have done the damage for India with seven wickets between them<\/p>\n
Left-arm spinner Kuldeep Yadav and seamer Shivam Dube have helped India rip through the United Arab Emirates batting line-up, skittling them for just 57 before they swept to a nine-wicket win in the Asia Cup.<\/p>\n
Kuldeep baffled batters with his sharp googlies and bagged 4-7, while Dube claimed 3-4 to dismiss the UAE in 13.1 overs \u2014 the lowest-ever T20 total against India.<\/p>\n
In the group A game on Wednesday, India cruised to their target, reaching 1-60 off just 4.3 overs with opening batter Abhishek Sharma (30) showing flashes of his skilful power-hitting and Shubman Gill scoring an unbeaten 20.<\/p>\n
UAE batters had no answer for India’s relentless attack despite Jasprit Bumrah showing signs of rustiness in his first T20 game since the World Cup last year.<\/p>\n
Captain Suryakumar Yadav believed his team were “flexible” when India won the toss and the skipper chose to field. India had previously lost the toss in 15 consecutive games.<\/p>\n
Alishan Sharafu (22) and captain Muhammad Waseem (19) gave UAE a reasonable start of 2-41 in the Powerplay before the batters crumbled against Kuldeep’s sharp spin and Dube warmed up for more tougher games ahead in the tournament with a three-wicket haul.<\/p>\n
Bumrah nailed Sharafu will his trademark smearing yorker in the second over and Mohammad Zohaib sliced a catch to backward point off Varun Chakravarthy.<\/p>\n
Kuldeep’s three-wicket over, that included a plumb leg-before dismissal of Waseem, rattled UAE’s middle-order before Dube claimed three wickets in his two overs and the hosts folded with more than six overs to spare.<\/p>\n
When India batted, left-hander Abhishek smashed spinner Ali’s first ball for a six over wide extra-cover and went on to crash three sixes and two boundaries in his 16-ball knock.<\/p>\n
India needed only 10 when Abhishek miscued Siddique’s short ball and got caught at wide midwicket, but Suryakumar smashed Siddique over fine-leg for a six off the first ball he faced.<\/p>\n
Gill then completed the victory with a boundary to mid-on off Simranjeet Singh as UAE slumped to a heavy defeat in the group that also includes Pakistan and first-timers Oman.<\/p>\n
