KL Rahul smashed 50 off 19 balls as India hammered Scotland by eight wickets to stay alive in the Twenty20 World Cup on Friday.
India demolished Scotland in Dubai, tying them in knots with the ball after winning the toss and opting to field first, bowling the Scots out for 85.
And in reply KL Rahul and Rohit Sharma starred as India raced to 89/2 in just 6.3 overs, securing the win and a huge net run rate gain boost.
Ravindra Jadeja and Mohammed Shami took three wickets each to help bowl out Scotland for 85 in 17.4 overs after India put the opposition into bat in the Super 12 contest in Dubai.
Rahul and Rohit Sharma, who hit 30, took the Scotland bowling apart as India raced to their target in 6.3 overs to get their run-rate over New Zealand and Afghanistan.
They still need to win their last game against Namibia and depend on the result of the New Zealand-Afghanistan game to have any chance of making the final four.
