Defending champions India thumped Pakistan by seven wickets in Group A match of the Asia Cup in Dubai on Sunday.

India's three-pronged spin attack laid the foundation of their second successive victory in the tournament when they restricted Pakistan for a below-par 127-9.

After opener Abhishek Sharma (31) gave India a flying start, Tilak Varma (31) and skipper Suryakumar Yadav, who made 47 not out, combined in a 56-run stand as the reigning 20-overs world champions romped home with 4.1 overs to spare.
