Virat Kohli helps India to record chase in win over Pakistan


India produced their highest one-day international run chase as they beat Pakistan in the Asia Cup in Dhaka.

Pakistan openers Mohammad Hafeez and Nasir Jamshed hit tons and shared 224 within 40 overs in their team's 329-6.

But Virat Kohli struck 22 fours and a six in 183 from 148 balls as India won by six wickets with 13 balls to spare.

With Pakistan already through to the final, India require the already eliminated Sri Lanka to beat Bangladesh on Tuesday if they are to join them.

After beating India by five wickets on Friday in the match that will always be remembered for Sachin Tendulkar's 100th international century, Bangladesh will progress if they beat Sri Lanka as head-to-head results are taken into account before net run rate.
