Rizwan top-score with a fine 43, before Shahnawaz Dahani and Haris Rauf took Pakistan to a respectable total. Earlier, Rishabh Pant did not find a place in India's playing XI as Dinesh Karthik was given a nod over the youngster.

Ind vs Pak: Hardik Pandya named Player of the Match
India vs Pakistan: Hardik Pandya deservedly gets the Player of the Match award. He has been a much-better all-rounder post his comeback from back injury.
India vs Pakistan: Hardik Pandya returned figures of 3/25 in his four overs to help India bowl out Pakistan at 147 and then scored a blazing and crucial 33 to take his side home. What a day it has been for the Indian all-rounder!
India vs Pakistan: Babar Azam's lack of proper planning played a big role in Pakistan's loss to India. He burned out all of his fast bowlers' quota till the 19th over itself to leave a lot on luck as a spinner bowled the final over for Pakistan. With Hardik and Jadeja at crease and Dinesh Karthik to be followed next, India knew that it was their game to lose.
India vs Pakistan: The thrilling match went down to the wire but Hardik Pandya showed nerves of steel to finish the game for India. He scored unbeaten 33 off 17 balls with the help of 4 fours and a six to take India home.
India vs Pakistan: India win!!! Hardik Pandya caps it off with a superb six over long-on. This man is so confident about his shots! It was fired in by Nawaz but Hardik slammed the ball over the boundary ropes as if it is a daily affair for him. It is indeed! India win the game by 5 wickets.
India vs Pakistan: An anti-climax for Ravindra Jadeja. He has been cleaned up by Mohammad Nawaz. India need 7 off 5 balls. Do we have a game here? DK comes in.
India vs Pakistan: That's a brilliant pul shot from Hardik Pandya for a four towards cow corner and he might have sealed the game for India with that shot. The Rohit Sharma-led side needs 7 runs more to win off the last over that will be bowled by Mohammad Nawaz.
India vs Pakistan: That's a brilliant review from Ravindra Jadeja. Naseem Shah hit his pad and umpire raised his finger on the appeal but Jadeja decided to go upstairs and to his good luck, the ball was found to have pitched outside the leg stump.
India vs Pakistan: Jadeja starts Naseem Shah's over with a boundary towards extra cover. He comfortably pierced the gap between mid-off and cover for a four. India need 27 more in 17.
India vs Pakistan: This match is still on the edge. Nine runs came off Rauf's over and India need 32 more in 18 balls. Must note that Pakistan pacers have only two overs left which means one of the spinners will be bowling the third over, most probably Mohammad Nawaz.
India vs Pakistan: 10 runs came off Shahnawaz Dahani's last over and India need 41 runs more to win off the remaining 24 balls. This match is going down to the wire!
India vs Pakistan: What a shot this is from Hardik Pandya! It was not that bad a ball from Naseem Shah outside off stump but Hardik adjusted himself beautifully over the ball and cut it for a four past the backward point.
India vs Pakistan: Pakistan are on top! Suryakumar Yadav has been dismissed by Naseem Shah for a run-a-ball 18. It was a good length delivery on full pace. Suryakumar missed his shot and saw his stumps going for a walk.
India vs Pakistan: Another good over from Pakistan's perspective. Only 6 runs came off it and India need 59 off the remaining 6 overs. Get ready for a nail-biting finish folks!
India vs Pakistan: Shahnawaz Dahani bowled a short ball to Ravindra Jadeja down the leg side. The Indian southpaw missed his pull but Pakistan appealed for the wicket. Umpire remained unmoved and Babar Azam half-heartedly decided to go upstairs only to lose a review eventually.
India vs Pakistan: Only 6 runs came off Shadab Khan's fourth over and that puts the pressure on India once again. They need 65 more to win off the remaining 42 balls.
India vs Pakistan: This is brave batting from Jadeja. Mohammad Nawaz tossed the ball up and Jadeja took his chance. He comfortably cleared the boundary for a six. The ball travelled to a distance of 98-metre in air.
India vs Pakistan: Virat Kohli is out! He has chipped Mohammad Nawaz's delivery directly into the hands of Iftikhar Ahmed at long-off. He departs on 35 off 34 balls.
India vs Pakistan: This is poor batting from Rohit Sharma. India had already got nine runs off the over, yet Rohit tried to attack Mohammad Nawaz on latter's last delivery and perished in the process. He mishit the ball to long-off and departed on 12 off 18 balls.
India vs Pakistan: Though Pakistan have got just one wicket so far, they have managed to keep India's scoring rate under check. India are going less than 6 runs per over.
Ind vs Pak: Virat Kohli is riding his luck today. Haris Rauf bowled a beautiful bouncer to him but the Indian batter escaped the scare. Kohli got an outside edge on the pull and the ball went over the wicketkeeper's head for a six.
Virat Kohli had his heart in his mouth for a moment. He had edged Naseem Shah's fuller delivery to second slip. But to Kohli's good luck, the fielder dropped the catch.
