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...
...on the other hand, Pakistan were a little less than thrilled.
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.
