Match scorecard

Pakistan recovered superbly to edge out India by five wickets in a thrilling first Twenty20 International.

Chasing India’s modest 133-9 in Bangalore, the visitors recovered from 12-3 and appeared to be cruising to victory before a late wobble resulted in them needing 10 from the final over.

But Shoaib Malik (57 from 50 balls) clobbered a straight six to see Pakistan home with two balls to spare.

This is the first bilateral series between the countries for five years.
