Pant smashed an unbeaten 125 runs off 113 balls while Pandya scored 71 runs off 55 balls to help the Men in Blue chase down the target of 260 runs in just 42.1overs. For England Reece Topley bagged three wickets, while Brydon Carse and Craig Overton scalped one wicket each.
While wickets continued to collapse at one end, Azam put up a gritty resistance at the other. As he has made a habit of, he broke yet another record during his innings - he became the fastest Pakistan batter to 10,000 international runs across formats and fourth overall.
As wickets were falling, Chandimal was dogged in his resistance, playing a vital knock of 76. He also played a few brilliant shots, taking the attack to the Pakistan pacers.
Topley took six, while David Willey, Brydon Carse, Moeen Ali and Liam Livingstone picked up one wicket each. For India, Ravindra Jadeja and Hardik Pandya scored the highest 29 runs respectively for the team.
The Indian cricket legend Sourav Ganguly was felicitated on the same date when he led India to Natwest final win in 2002 and exactly 20 years later on the same day he was honoured in the same city.
