1st ODI (Guwahati) - India beat Pakistan by 5 wickets

India have beaten Pakistan by 5 wickets in the 1st ODI of the current series. Nehru Stadium, Guwahati witnessed a pretty solid Indian performance and at no stage of the match did it look like the Indians were under pressure.

Excellent bowling especially from the spinning duo of Murali Kartik and Harbhajan Singh limited the Pakistanis to a modest total of 239. Gambhir and Ganguly set a solid chasing platform and the young guns Dhoni and Yuvraj guided the Indians to a comfortable victory.

MS Dhoni was awarded the Man of the Match though I feel it should have been jointly shared by the spinners Kartik and Harbhajan.

Here are some video moments from the Presentation Ceremony at the end of the match:
