Earlier, Pakistan was dismissed for 191 in 42.5 overs by the hosts.
When Pakistan was given the opportunity to bat, they were on 155-2 in the 30th over and seemed to be cruising to a score of 300 or more with skipper Babar Azam (50) and hot batsman Mohammad Rizwan (49) at the crease.
The subsequent bowling of Babar by Mohammed Siraj of India, however, ignited a dramatic collapse, and Pakistan was unable to hold out for the balance of their allowed 50 overs.
India's bowlers are left with the unenviable task of defending a relatively modest total because of their powerful batting lineup.
Shreyas Iyer managed to reach a half century while also driving in the winning runs with a four.
Make it 3⃣ in a row for #TeamIndia! ? ?
