Indian bowlers dominated the innings as Pakistan were restricted to a meagre 191 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad after the Green Shirts’ lacklustre batting performance.
Pakistan lost their openers — Imam-ul-Haq and Abdullah Shafique — after a steady start but Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan put on 82 runs for the third wicket to rebuild the innings.
But Babar fell soon after getting to 50 in the high-voltage clash.
Pakistan reached 157-3 in 31 overs in front of a crowd dominated by Indian spectators after delays in visas for Pakistan fans.
Later, Rizwan was also sent packing and it went downhill from there as none of the players — except Hasan Ali — scored in double digits.
