Pakistan's Mohammed Jameel scored 47 and Ali Murtaza scored 38 to put some resistance against the archrivals. Pakistan had gone into the match following eight wins in the group stage, which included beating India by comprehensive eight-wicket margin and another big victory against England in the semi-final.
But India eventually managed to take a sweet revenge along with the event's title. The tournament, which came to an end on Thursday, had earlier made headlines across the border after Pakistani skipper Zeeshan Abbasi was served phenyl at the breakfast table, which the visually impaired player drank and was subsequently hospitalised in bad condition. He was discharged the next day after an endoscopy was conducted. The hotel management apologised for the incident terming it as a human error and also sacked the erroneous server. The Pakistan team management magnanimously accepted the apology.
