Pakistan's lower order failed to chip in vital runs this time as India successfully restricted their neighbours inside 160 runs, and all India needed was a rather easy target of 157 on a two-paced wicket.
Indian batters were off to a flying start and the openers made sure they keep up the ante, as Pakistan had been tournament's best bowling side. Robin Uthappa and Ambati Rayudu smashed a quickfire 34 for first wicket, beofre the former fell to Aamer Yamin.
Suresh Raina followed Uthappa in quick succession as India were restricted to 38/2 after 3 overs, but this did not disrupt the momentum of the Indian side, as an excellent 50 from Ambati Rayudu, complemented by quickfire 30 off 16 from Yusuf Pathan put the game to bed, and finishing touch was provided by Irfan Pathan, as he smashed the winning boundary off Sohail Tanvir down the ground to script a 5-wicket win for India.
