Led by Virat Kohli's unbeaten 100, India chased down 241 in 42.3 overs, taking their ICC ODI events head to head record with Pakistan to 11-3. It also gives big fillip to their semi- final hopes. A New Zealand win against the Bangladesh on Monday will see them through.
It proved to another hyped up India-Pakistan encounter watched by film stars, dignitaries and many of India's young T20 team members. But it failed to live up to the billing. Host Pakistan's second successive loss the competition has left them staring at the exit door.
