When Babar Azam was dismissed, by Mohammed Siraj, Arijit was caught by the cameras waving an Indian cricket team jersey in celebration.

Mohammed Siraj, Jasprit Bumrah, Hardik Pandya, Kuldeep Yadav and Ravindra Jadeja took two wickets each as Pakistan collapsed from 155-2 to get bowled out in 42.5 overs.

Pakistan started strongly but lost their openers before Azam and Rizwan attempted to rebuild and hit back in their stand of 82.

Azam reached his fifty off 57 balls with a boundary but fell in the next over, bowled by Siraj as the crowd roared to see the back of the world’s number one ODI batsman.

Kuldeep Yadav soon struck twice in an over to send back the left-handed Saud Shakeel and Iftikhar Ahmed, bowled around the legs for four after the ball deflected off the batsman’s gloves.

Bumrah denied Rizwan his fifty with a slower-off cutter that rattled the stumps as Pakistan slipped to 168-6.

Bumrah, playing in front of his home crowd, had a spring in his step and struck again in the next over to get Shadab Khan out for two.

Pandya and Jadeja combined to wrap up the tail.

Earlier Siraj struck first to get Abdullah Shafique, who made 113 in Pakistan’s record chase of 345 against Sri Lanka, lbw for 20.

Pandya sent back left-handed opener Imam-ul-Haq for 36 before Azam and Rizwan mounted a repair job and got regular boundaries after they were well set.

Rizwan survived a reprieve on one when the on-field umpire adjudged him out lbw off Jadeja but the batsman reviewed the decision in his favour.

He hit seven boundaries but slowed down towards the end of his knock before departing.
