Farhan Yousaf contributed 23 runs, while Usman Khan managed 16.
Notably, eight Pakistani batsmen failed to reach double figures, highlighting the team’s struggles.
Earlier, India posted a competitive total, driven by a strong batting performance led by Arjun George, who starred with an impressive 85 runs.
Ayush Mahatre chipped in with 38, Kanishk Chauhan added 46, and Abhigyan Kundu scored 22, helping India set a challenging target.
Pakistan’s bowlers put up a respectable fight, with Mohammad Siyam and Abdul Subhan claiming three wickets each, while Naqeeb Shafiq picked up two wickets.
However, the bowling effort proved insufficient as India’s batsmen capitalised on key moments.
