India got off to a terrible start in their chase of the 160-run target set by Pakistan in their ICC T20 World Cup opener. Naseem Shah dismissed KL Rahul in the second over of the innings and his dismissal was identical to the one in the Asia Cup against the same bowler.

Things went from bad to worse for the Indians as the likes of Rohit (4), Suryakumar Yadav (15) and Axar Patel (2) were dismissed within 6.1 overs.

The batting display was yet another reminder of India's frailties against top quality fast bowling.
