Cricketlive: WATCH Harshit Rana gives back to Soumya Sarkar in heated exchange

Soumya Sarkar: India’s future generation of cricketers have taken a cue from Virat Kohli & Co and displayed aggression against Bangladesh during their semi-final match in the Emerging Asia Cup. India A player Nikin Jose took a stunning low catch to dismiss Soumya Sarkar and gave a fitting send-off. Things turned nasty when Harshit Rana said a few things to the Bangladeshi batter when he was not ready to walk despite Jose claiming a clean catch.

It needed Sai Sudarshan’s intervention to calm things down as Sarkar was given out by the on-field umpires. It was a vital wicket as the Bangladeshi batter could have taken the game away from the Indians. The southpaw’s wicket turned the game in Yash Dhull & Co’s favor as they beat Bangladesh by 51. India will now face Pakistan in the Emerging Asia Cup finals on Sunday, July 23.

IND vs PAK craze sky high, fans book hospital beds to avoid exorbitant hotel prices in Ahmedabad

Soumya Sarkar: Sarkar’s efforts in vain Jose, Yash Dhull, and Nishant Sandhu power India to finals of Emerging Asia Cup

Jose’s stunning catch, Dhull’s fighting fifty, and Sandhu’s five-wicket haul enabled India to a comfortable win. But things did not look all rosy at one stage when India lost seven wickets for just 140 odd runs. However, Dhull’s fighting 66 helped India finish on a respectable 211. In reply, Bangladesh started well and were 70 for no loss at one stage, before losing the plot. Sandhu picked up five wickets and helped Bangladesh bundle out for just 160.

Now, India will face Pakistan in the finals and hope to clinch the Cup. India had defeated their arch-rivals by a thumping margin during the league stage. Sudarshan’s blazing century helped India thrash Pakistan by eight wickets. Now, Yash Dhull & Co would be eager to put on yet another dominating display against the Asian nation.
