Dubai: Left-handed batter Tilak Varma rose to the occasion under immense pressure with an unbeaten 69 and guided India to a five-wicket victory over arch-rivals Pakistan to win the Asia Cup for the ninth time at the Dubai International Stadium on Sunday.
Coming in with India reeling early at 20/3, Tilak delivered an innings of poise and precision under pressure to hit three fours and four sixes in a knock to be remembered for ages. While others faltered, Tilak stood tall by anchoring the chase and dished out a masterclass in timing and temperament, as he helped India cross the finish line with two balls to spare and sign off from the tournament filled with drama and intensity with a trophy in hand.
