Pakistan began well in their answer to India's fighting total of 260 but lost both openers Kamran Akmal and Mohammad Hafeez for 70 runs.
Openers Mohammed Hafeez and Kamran Akmal mixed strokeplay with cautious pushes and kept the scoreboard ticking in the initial overs. But Akmal was dismissed for 19 runs off 20 balls caught at point by Yuvraj Singh off a sharp delivery by Zaheer Khan.
Pakistan lost their first wicket at 43 in the eighth over. India pulled back the free scoring a bit and in the 16th over, an increasingly impatient Hafeez went for a wild shot and was caught behind by M S Dhoni. Munaf Patel scalped him.
At 103 runs for 2 wickets, when it seemed like Pakistan was going to take the match away from India, Yuvraj Singh delivered two fatal blows in the nick of time. He first bowled Shafiq for 30 runs, followed by Younis Khan for 13 runs - caught by Raina.
Harbhajan Singh replaced Yuvraj in the 34th over and promptly bowled Umar Akmal off his first delivery. Akmal made 29 runs off 24 balls.
Razzaq was sent packing in the 37th over, bowled by Munaf Patel. He had made 3 runs off 9 balls.
When Pak had scored 184 runs, captain Shahid Afridi was caught by Sehwag after having scored 19 runs for 17 balls, off the bowling of Harbhajan Singh. Afridi was looking to strike a mighty blow over extra cover but just managed to hit it in the air for the fielder to pull off an easy catch.
