*Official* Asia Cup 2018 in UAE

I must say, as a neutral (though I was rooting for Afghanistan), this has been a highly enjoyable tournament to follow. Some really tense games, great stuff.

Well done India, and well played Bangladesh.

I'd go with the same, except I don't trust Jadeja in the least in any pressure situation and would switch Pant and Hardik's position.

Pant can't hack it at domestic so he's supposed to magically dominate in ODIs? Dhoni has not been great but there's no one breathing down his neck with solid performances either. I think India are stuck with Dhoni for the WC.

In the current era 0(1) is far better in most games than 35(60). And Pant had a very solid season last year and a great IPL.

From what I have seen of Pant he can do well in ODIs and deserves his chance considering how Dhoni is stinking it up.

Haha, that's a really terrible way to analyse when you completely ignore the context. In todays match 35(60) is infinitely better than 0(1). If you as a team would rather have 0(1) because "current era" then you have bigger problems to worry about.

Today's context is not going to be repeated very often in England. 300 and over will be the norm at the WC more often than not. We can't afford to have a past-it Dhoni pottering about at a SR of 65.

MSD getting praised for this innings on Indian media outlets and social media.

Disappointed I missed the game, but it looks like it wasn't actually as close as the final score suggests. BD were in with a good chance when Kedar retired hurt but Bhuvi and Jadeja took it away from us. Ah well. We'll beat India in a final one day.
