India have won the toss and elected to field
From 141/1 to 250 all out, it has been a spectacular collapse from Pakistan. Ravindra Jadeja and Ishant Sharma bowled wonderfully in the middle overs as Pakistan lost momentum. Nasir Jamshed stroked his third ODI century but the rest of the batting capitulated. Both Jadeja and Ishant picked up three wickets as Pakistan were bowled out.
Pakistan are yet to lose an ODI against India in Kolkata. They have played 4 matches here and won all 4. Terrific effort this - 250 was not a great score but they proved once again that a superb bowling unit can do wonders in this format. Junaid Khan was the star once again and Umar Gul chipped in with a couple of top-order wickets as well. Ajmal, Hafeez, and even Shoaib Malik gave them good support as India's batsmen just capitulated. Dhoni made a half century and remained not out, but that was more of a message to the dressing room than anything else.
India 165-all out (48.0 Overs)
Pakistan 250-all out (48.3 Overs)
Pakistan won by 85 runs
Nasir Jamshed is the Man of the Match
