In a spectacle dripping with dominance and drama, India delivered a crushing 61-run triumph, bowling Pakistan out for 114 in a second innings that showcased relentless intensity, tactical brilliance and breathtaking athleticism, The Economic Times reported.

The early destruction was scripted by Hardik Pandya, who opened with a sizzling wicket maiden that instantly tilted the contest.
