Ahmed Shehzad and Mohamamd Hafeez added 95 for the second wicket setting the platform for a lower-order assault.

Mohammad Hafeez was exemplary in the use of his feet, especially against the spinners.

Ahmed Shehzad, recalled ahead of the World T20, scored a 35-ball half-century as Pakistan continued to score at over 9 runs per over.

Sharjeel Khan made a brisk start but was bowled by Sunny Arafat for 18.

Shahid Afridi won the toss and elected to bat on a flat Eden Garden's wicket.

Shahid Afridi promoted himself up to No.4 and bludgeoned a 19-ball 49 as Pakistan finished with 201 in their 20 overs.

Mohammad Amir struck in the very first over and bowled Soumya Sarkar on the third delivery of the innings.

Tamim Iqbal kept the bowlers at bay during his 20-ball 24 but Pakistan kept chipping away with wickets to derail the chase.

Shahid Afridi after his stellar performance with the bat ended with figures of 2 for 27 and helped Pakistan seal a 55-run win.
