LAHORE, June 25: Hundreds from Suresh Raina and Mahendra Singh Dhoni and four wickets from teenage leg spinner Piyush Chawla helped India to a thumping 256-run win over Hong Kong in the Asia Cup one-day tournament in Karachi on Wednesday.

Chawla bamboozled the Hong Kong batsmen, whose inexperience at international level was exposed as they were bowled out for just 118 after being hammered for 374 for four by the Indians.

Raina struck his maiden one-day century, scoring 101, and captain Dhoni hit an unbeaten 109 as their fourth-wicket partnership put on 166 runs in 123 balls.

India got off to a breezy start, with Virender Sehwag (78) and Gautam Gambhir (51) reaching 100 in 65 balls in a 127-run opening stand.

Raina, in Asia Cup, savaged the Hong Kong bowlers, racing through his second 50 in only 16 balls with five sixes and three fours.

Dhoni’s fourth one-day hundred came from 90 balls with six sixes.

Chawla took career-best figures of four for 23, while Sehwag wrapped up the match by taking wickets off successive balls, the Hong Kong innings lasting just 36.5 overs.

Chawla dismissed captain Tabarak Dar, who batted resolutely for 21 runs, Hussain Butt and Courtney Kruger, all stumped by Dhoni. His fourth victim was Munir Dar, caught by Yusuf Pathan.
