Pakistan begin tour with a win

India vs Pakistan, First Twenty20, Bangalore
Pakistan 134-5( Hafeez 61, Malik 57*) beat India 133-9( Gambhir 43, Gul 3-19)

Pakistan sealed their first victory in t20 internationals against India thanks to composed innings from Hafeez and Shoaib Malik to guide them to their target on a sporting wicket. India did themselves no favours by collapsing in a heap. Ajmal and Gul were the chief wreckers. Bhuvaneshwar Kumar made quite an impression by picking up 3 early wickets on debut. The delivery to get rid of Umar Akmal a particularly vicious inswinger. Hafeez and Malik then steadied the ship before Malik was able to close out a cliffhanger.
