Misbahul Haq, 89 not out, came to the rescue and Pakistan recovered to finish at 209. But with the match interrupted for 52 minutes due to bad light, the runs were revised to 219 on the Duckworth and Lewis method.
The match was also reduced to 47 overs. India reached the target with six wickets and 13 balls to spare.
