India was able to keep its nerve and came away victorious in their first game of the tournament. Hardik Pandya’s all-around performance was what India required for the victory. Indian bowlers performed well and restricted Pakistan to less than 150. The team will be happy to see Virat Kohli scoring runs and will be looking for more of the same in upcoming games. India can top Group B if they win this game.
