India is the king of chases in the subcontinent. We just don't have the bowling firepower to take down their batting, especially a player like Kohli. Only way you can really beat India is if your chasing since their pacers are weak. If your batting first against them, the game is pretty much over. That Pakistan/India game in the 2012 Asia Cup was a clear example of that. They chased 330 without any trouble. And then chased 350 against Australia. These teams have much better bowling attacks and still couldn't defend 300+ scores.
The positive is that our NRR didn't take much of a hit. We have to make sure we have to beat Afghanistan next and if we do, we still are in this tournament.
