Yadav, who was playing his first ODI in over a year, bowled with great control and variation, bamboozling Zaman with a googly and then getting Rizwan to edge to the slip cordon.

Pakistan were reduced to 36/3 in the 10th over and never really recovered, eventually falling short by 56 runs.

Yadav finished with figures of 4-1-17-2, while Yuzvendra Chahal also took two wickets.

Earlier, India were powered by centuries from KL Rahul and Virat Kohli, who scored 111 and 122 respectively.

Rahul and Kohli put on a 194-run partnership for the second wicket, before Kohli was dismissed by Shaheen Afridi.

Rahul was eventually out for 111, but his innings laid the foundation for India’s big total.

India will now face Bangladesh in the final of the Asia Cup 2023.
