Both score centuries as India romps home with nine wickets to spare.
An on-song Indian opening combination of captain Rohit Sharma and his deputy Shikhar Dhawan literally toyed with the Pakistan bowlers to make a no-contest of a respectable target of 238 in the Asia Cup Super Four tie here on Sunday.
The nine-wicket victory, with Dhawan perishing thanks to a run-out, also meant that India will feature in the final on Friday, irrespective of its last Super Four clash against Afghanistan on Tuesday.
Chasing 237 for seven, set by Pakistan, Dhawan and Rohit looked in no trouble. Pakistan had brought in senior pacer Mohammad Amir in place of youngster Usman Khan and bolstered the spin attack by including leggie Shadab Khan.
Poor fielding
But if the fielders don't back the bowlers, the team gets demoralised. Imam-ul-Haq spilled a mistimed drive off Rohit in the sixth over. Rohit, who was on 14 then, changed gears to kill the contest.
