Jadeja, Shami shine as India blow Scotland away for huge NRR boost
Rahul and Rohit killed the game off in a ridiculous hurry, helping chase down the target with 13.3 overs to spare
It was always unlikely that India would lose to Scotland, but they still had to play well because there was another very important box to tick. Net run rate.
Nearly all of Jadeja's focus in T20 cricket is in restricting the batter. But when there is a little turn on offer, he starts to take on greater responsibilities. That was the case on Friday as he produced his best figures in T20 internationals.
Scotland only ever tried to attack 46 of the balls they faced. And for all that trouble, they made only 65 runs on top of losing five wickets.
