Led by Captain Babar Azam, Pakistan won their first World Cup showdown in the Super 12 blockbuster in the T20 World Cup on Sunday with a thrilling 10-wicket win over India.
Virat Kohli's 57-run knock helped save India from a top-order push and post a competitive 151-7 rematch in the 2007 inaugural final.
He teamed up with his opponent Babar Mohammad Rizwan to give Pakistan a flying start and then surpassed the target with 13 balls to spare to snatch India's 100% winning record against them in the limited overs World Cup.
Babur remained unbeaten on 7, while Rizwan remained unbeaten on 69.
Beware of the dew factor, the captains preferred to field and Babur also followed that trend by winning the toss.
Shaheen Afridi (3-31) hit twice in his first seven deliveries and Pakistan did not have to wait long to upset India.
Rohit Sharma lbw the left-arm pacer in a yorker length delivery to dismiss the Golden Call and rifle one through KL Rahul's gate to rearrange the stumps in his next over.
Suryakumar hit a six off Yadav Afridi's ball but Rizwan took a diving catch behind the stumps to dismiss the batsman and took India to 31-3 in the sixth over.
Kohli and Rishabh Pant calmed the nerves in the Indian camp and led the team to 60-3 in the first half of the innings.
Pant then decided to counter-attack and hit a back-to-back six to Hasan Ali but his extra aggression ended him.
Shadab Khan googled Pant to convince a skier who caught the spinner himself and dismissed the batsman for 39 runs.
In the last over of the innings, Kohli fell and tried to accelerate, but India still scored 150 runs.
Pakistan, in their reply, not only kept their wickets intact in the powerplay over, but effectively killed the rivalry with their tough fight position with Babar and Rizwan.
Babur hit a six off spinner Varun Chakraborty, while Rizwan hit a boundary off Jaspreet Bumrah to reach 50.
