After India refused to step foot into Pakistan for this tournament, this game takes place on India-friendly turf in Dubai — the venue where they only narrowly overcame Bangladesh in their first game.
Having reduced the Tigers to 35-5, a stubborn 154 partnership between centurion Towhid Hridoy and Jaker Ali helped set a total of 228. India's batters then took 46.3 overs to knock it off, led by Shubman Gill's impressive ton.
Pakistan need to improve quickly after their battering by New Zealand on the tournament's opening day. They were outplayed in every department — it will be interesting to see whether they will ring the changes, with both batters and bowlers struggling in Karachi.
