Published April 19, 2006

ABU DHABI, April 18: Pakistan on Tuesday overhauled India’s score of 197 to comfortably win the first of two one-day charity games featuring the two teams at Zayed Stadium here.

Pakistan lost only four wickets in its quest for victory, achieving the target with 9 balls to spare. Earlier Pakistan’s bowling attack gave a fine display of disciplined and penetrative bowling to restrict India to 197.
