Pakistan have won the toss and elected to field
India were 29/5 at one stage against a rampant Pak attack and also to battle the heat and humidity of Chennai. Dhoni never gave up and kept pushing himself on. Along with Raina initially and then with Ashwin later on, he has given India a great score to defend on this wicket.
Pakistan take a 1-0 lead in the series. Deservingly too. India did well to fight back from some tight situations. Dhoni did it with the lower order when they batted. Bhuvaneshwar Kumar led the way with the ball. They would lay some blame on a crucial umpiring error when Jamshed was adjudged not out on 24. Ashwin was guilty of overstepping and missed out on a wicket in the process. Yuvraj dropped Jamshed on 68. There was a flicker of hope for India when Ishant Sharma sent back Misbah-ul-Haq but Shoaib Malik steadied the ship. Jamshed went past his second ODI ton and helped Pakistan coast to a win.
Pakistan: 228/4 (48.1 Overs)
India: 227/6 (50.0 Overs)
Pakistan won by 6 wickets
The Man of the Match is MS Dhoni despite his hundred in a losing cause.
