In addition to this, the number one batsmen in ODI format Virat Kolhi show his class with 77 of 65 balls at an impressive strike rate of 118.46.
Furthermore, Pakistan bowling was quite short and that cost them as India made an impressive score of 6-336.
Pakistan inning was delay due to rain and saw Pakistan revised to 302 and will be annoyed by the loss of the wicket in a cluster which saw Pakistan lose 4 wickets from 12 balls.
