Team India may have won their Asia Cup T20 encounter—not quite in a canter—but for a while, Indian fans could have believed that there was to be a reprisal of those Sharjah days when their arch-rivals Pakistan beat them more often than not.
It was not to be.

Mohammad Amir had a point to prove and he did leaving India tottering at 8-3.
But he lacked support.
The knocking over of the top order brought back memories of India touring South Africa when Dale Steyn and his cohorts gave Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan a torrid time in the opening overs.
It just goes to show that even the best batsmen struggle against top-class pace bowling.
And it also reminded us why Pakistan were so quick to reinstall Amir as their main hit man.
Virat Kohli showed why he’s the most reliable bat in the side.
Yuvraj Singh struggled abjectly but stuck around till the end to see India through.
The next game in the T20 World Cup is eagerly anticipated.
