It’s Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s 200th match as captain. Earlier Mohammad Shahzad hit a brilliant century where other batsmen were unable to score the runs he was hitting the ball so hard. It was Shahzad’s briiliant knock of 124 runs in 116 balls that they put a good total of 252 runs on the board in 5th match of super four in Asia Cup 2018. India tried to use their bench strength as Rohit Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan, Bumrah, Bhuvi and Chahal were rested and India gave chance to KL Rahul and Ambati Rayudu to open the inning in the captaincy of Mahendra Singh Dhoni. It was Dhoni’s 200th match as captain and with this tied match, he is the most ODIs tied as captain with 5 tied matches in his captaincy.
