Gautam Gambhir started off in brisk fashion, hitting two boundaries in Sohail Tanvir's first over


Virender Sehwag was quick off the blocks as well, and India raced to their 50 in six overs


Sehwag hit four fours and two sixes in his 33-ball 49


He added 88 for the first wicket along with Gambhir


Gambhir was out for 35, caught in the covers by Shahid Afridi off Iftikhar Anjum


Abdur Rauf struck soon after in the 12th over, removing both Sehwag and Suresh Raina


Suresh Raina, who has hit two centuries and a fifty in the tournament, perished after top-edging a pull


Mahendra Singh Dhoni then stabilised the innings ...


... along with Rohit Sharma, who had struggled so far in the tournament


Dhoni stayed away from taking risks


He relied mostly on singles to push the scoring


Along with Rohit, he added 112 runs for the fifth wicket


Rohit swivels on one leg to play the pull during his half-century


Rohit fell after scoring 58


Dhoni worked his way to 76, as India pushed their total to 308 for 7


Salman Butt and Nasir Jamshed got Pakistan off to a flying start before Butt was run out for 36


Jamshed raced to a 39-ball fifty, but cramps forced him to retire hurt on 53. Younis Khan then picked up the pace to maintain Pakistan's tempo


Mohammad Yousuf fell cheaply to Piyush Chawla


Pakistan, though, were never under threat as Younis and Misbah-ul-Haq steered their team to victory. Younis was Man of the Match for his unbeaten 123
