India’s Twenty20 team has engineered and experienced many highs, but they will never forget the day they won gold for their contingent at the Asian Games. A crowd of Indian supporters at Korogi Sports Park in Nisshin, Japan, was swept up in the emotion of the national anthem as Pakistan, who lost by 19 runs, had to settle for silver, and Sri Lanka, who took bronze, shared the podium.
A full-strength Indian team had too much firepower for a second-string Pakistan lineup that put up a serious fight, thanks mainly to Hasan Nawaz’s 51-ball 96.
