Virat Kohli has smashed 49 to lead India to a five-wicket win over Pakistan in their Asia Cup match in Bangladesh.

Both sides suffered batting collapses, with a spell of fast bowling from Mohammad Amir reducing India to 3-8 before Kohli guided the side to overhaul Pakistan's 83 with almost five overs left.

Yuvraj Singh was unbeaten on 14, combining a 68-run partnership with Kohli for the fourth wicket.

Earlier, India fast bowler Hardik Pandya returned his career best 3-8.

Left arm spinner Ravindra Jadeja claimed 2-11 while fast bowlers Ashish Nehra, Jasprit Bumrah and left arm spinner Yuvraj Singh chipped in with one wicket apiece.

Only two Pakistan batsmen could reach double digits in its lowest total against India. Sarfraz Khan scored 25 while Khurram Manzoor added 10.
