World T20: Pakistan set India a target of 119 runs
Pakistan scored 118 runs for the loss of 5 wickets.
Earlier, in a rain truncated encounter, Indian skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni won the toss and decided to field first. The match was reduced to 18 overs a side after rain delayed proceedings.
Setting out to bat, Pakistan made a cautious start as Ashwin and Nehra bowled in good channels.
The pitch, thought to be a pace friendly wicket by both the captains, turned out to be a square turner as both Ravi Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja turned the bowled miles.
Pakistan lost their opening wicket for 38 runs after Sharjeel (17) tried to hit a long-hop from Raina for a six, only to scoop it high enough for Pandya to complete a good catch.
Ahmed Shahzad, who played a good hand of 25 runs was the next to depart as he fell prey to Bumrah.
Pakistani skipper Shahid Afridi, who promoted himself up the order scored 8 runs before hitting one straight to Virat kohli at long on off Hardik Pandya.
At 60 for the loss of 3 wickets, Umar Akmal (22) and Shoaib Malik (26) stitched together a partnership of 41 runs to take their team's score past the 100-run mark.
Both Malik and Akmal played some exquisite shots to up the ante for Pakistan, plundering 15 runs in a Pandya over and another 13 odd off Jasprit Bumrah.
While Ajmal perished trying to cut Ravindra Jadeja, Malik was undone by a slower one from Nehra.
For India, Raina, Nehra, Bumrah, Pandya and Jadeja picked up a wicket each.
