May be ypu are right. But on the hand Zia was bowling with a plan, Rubel was not. Zia was bowling to the line and the ball was going low than expected. yes Kohli could have spanked him for 20 runs, on the other hand he could have been bowled out or LBW.

And that single wicket at that stage could have been the difference maker.
