India 330 for 4 (Kohli 183, Rohit 68, Tendulkar 52) beat Pakistan 329 for 6 (Hafeez 105, Jamshed 112, Younis 52) by six wickets
Virat Kohli destroyed a career-best 183 to power India to a critical six-wicket victory over Pakistan in the Asia Cup one-day tournament in Dhaka on Sunday.
The in-form batsman hit one six and 22 fours in his explosive 148-ball knock. It was his third century in four matches and helped India accomplish the stiff 330-run target with 13 balls to spare.
Nasir Jamshed earlier hit a 104-ball 112 for his maiden one-day century and Mohammad Hafeez made a 113-ball 105 to help Pakistan post a challenging total.
Pakistan made it to the final despite the defeat, finishing their league engagements with nine points from three games, while India (eight points from three games) and Bangladesh (four from two) are still in contention.
Bangladesh need to win their final league match against Sri Lanka on Tuesday to knock India out.
The day-night match was the first between the two teams since the high-profile World Cup semi-final at Mohali last March, which India won on their way to clinching the showpiece title.
Kohli and opener Sachin Tendulkar put India on course for the remarkable victory with a 133-run stand for the second wicket after the second-ball dismissal of Gautam Gambhir.
Tendulkar, who became the first plaer to score 100 international centuries on Friday, looked in good form.
Kohli, whose previous best was an unbeaten 133, received valuable support from Rohit Sharma who made an impressive 68 in a 172-run stand for the third wicket.
