Sai Kishore starred in India men’s thumping nine-wicket semifinal win over Bangladesh in the Asian Games cricket tournament here at the Pingfeng Cricket Campus on October 6.
After the women’s team won a maiden gold last week, Ruturaj Gaikwad and his men now have the chance to complete the set on October 7 in the final against Afghanistan who beat Pakistan in the other semifinal.
With overcast conditions, Ruturaj won the toss and put Bangladesh into bat. But despite the cloud cover, it was spin which was going to have a major say in the game at the venue which has been used 24 times since the start of the Asiad across two surfaces. India also gave a debut cap to tweaker Shahbaz Ahmed in place of pacer Avesh Khan.
