Opening batsman Nasir Jamshed's century guided Pakistan to a six-wicket win over India in the opening match of the ODI series in Chennai.
1st ODI - MA Chidambaram Stadium
30 December 2012 - Day 1, Session 2
Pakistan 1st Innings
| N. Jamshed | 101 | 132 | 5 | 1 | 76.52 |
| S. Malik | 34 | 35 | 3 | 0 | 97.14 |
| A. Dinda | 9.1 | 0 | 45 | 1 | 4.91 |
Jamshed's 101 not out ensured India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni's rescue act earlier in the day went unrewarded.
Dhoni came to the crease with his side on 5-29 after Pakistan left-arm seamer Junaid Khan (4-43) had run through the top order and struck 113 not out to guide them to a final total of 227-6.
Pakistan's run chase also got off to a poor start, India debutant Bhuvneshwar Kumar bowling Mohammad Hafeez with the first delivery of his ODI career.
Kumar also removed Azhar Ali (9) to leave Pakistan on 2-21 but Younus Khan counter-attacked to the tune of 58 off 60 balls to ensure the required-rate was always under control.
Jamshed went to his second ODI hundred from 127 balls in the 47th over and finished off the job alongside Shoaib Malik (34no) with 11 balls to spare.
A bad day for India got worse when Virat Kohli left the field injured. Kohli slipped in his delivery stride while bowling the 41st over and appeared to twist his right knee. He was able to walk off the field but did not return.
Junaid had earlier done the damage for Pakistan with the new ball, bowling Virender Sehwag (4), Virat Kohli (0) and Yuvraj Singh (2), and following up by having Rohit Sharma (4) caught at third slip in his opening spell.
Suresh Raina helped his skipper repair the innings with a 79-run stand spanning 33.4 overs, Dhoni enjoyed a life on 17 when Misbah-ul-Haq put down a catch at midwicket off Hafeez's bowling.
Off-spinner Hafeez (1-26) did eventually pick up a wicket, bowling Raina for 43 with the second delivery of the 34th over - the first of the batting powerplay - before Ravichandran Ashwin (31no) helped Dhoni up the tempo.
Dhoni brought up his eighth ODI century from 118 deliveries - the second 50 of which came from 32 balls - and finished with seven fours and three sixes in his undefeated 125-ball contribution.
The three-match series continues at Eden Gardens, Kolkata on January 3.
