Political tension between the two sides forced them to scrap their series late last year, and the two countries have yet to face one another in a full series since the 2012-13 season.

Indian fans were in a good mood when their team skittled Pakistan for 83 in the 18th over...

But they hadn't counted on Mohammad Amir, who made it interesting by taking two wickets in the first over:

Virat Kohli steadied things for India as they crept toward their modest target:

And despite two quick wickets from Pakistan's Mohammad Sami, MS Dhoni and Yuvraj Singh guided them to victory by five wickets:

India's next match in the Asia Cup is against Sri Lanka on Tuesday, while Pakistan face the United Arab Emirates one day earlier.
