The score became 6-2 when Sam Ayub (6) was trapped in front on the second ball of Jasprit Bumrah.

Skipper Salman Aga (4) was leading the way, with his side 13-3 down after another wrong slog from Bumrah on the sixth ball.

When spinner Akshar Patel bowled Babar Azam for five runs, Pakistan’s score became 34-4.

Usman Khan put up some resistance and scored 44 runs in 34 balls with the help of one six and six fours.

But when he attacked Axar on the pitch and Kishan stumped him by a mile, it led to a mini collapse of 78-7 and the game was over and dusted.

Earlier, India captain Suryakumar and his Pakistan rival number one Agha did not shake hands while tossing the coin, which Agha won and decided to bowl.

Both the captains did the same in their three matches including the final in the Asia Cup in Dubai last year.

The Group A off-and-on match was confirmed to go ahead just six days after the Pakistan government did a U-turn on its threat to boycott the encounter.
