Match Flow & Turning watch Points
Right from the start India looked to assert dominance. Winning the toss, India elected to field first. The plan paid off immediately as the bowlers exploited conditions well. Kuldeep’s slow left‑arm spin proved deadly; a burst of wickets in quick succession sealed the fate of the UAE. There was no real partnership built by UAE, the pressure was relentless.
Once the target was set,
the chase was almost academic. Abhishek Sharma looked explosive and Gill steady. The speed of scoring meant there was little opportunity for UAE to mount any comeback. India’s top order, rarely under pressure, finished it in style.
What This Means watch Moving Forward
For India
This performance sends a strong message. With bowlers in form, particularly spinners like Kuldeep, and openers who can take charge from the outset, India has momentum. In tournaments like Asia Cup, such dominant wins boost not just confidence but also net run‑rate, which may matter in tight group stages.
For UAE
This match exposed India’s gulf in class on this occasion. While UAE have shown flashes of promise in other matches and tournaments, their batting fragile under pressure, especially against high‑quality spin and disciplined bowling. They will need to regroup, assess batting depth, and find ways to build partnerships rather than collapse under early assault. Improvement in handling spin, especially in middle overs, will be crucial.
Key watch Moments
- The start of India’s bowling innings: early wickets, especially getting rid of set batsmen, changed the game.
- Kuldeep’s spell, especially the cluster of wickets, tipping scales heavily in India’s favour.
- The chase being over so quickly shifted any chance of a run‑out or twist out of play.
Looking watch Ahead

Conclusion
In summary this match was one‑sided from early on. India’s blistering performance with the ball and aggressive response with the bat made short work of what should have been a challenging opening match. It will be difficult for other teams to ignore this performance. UAE must rethink their approach especially in batting if they are to stay competitive. As for India, this puts them in a commanding position to chase down Asia Cup glory once again.
