Mahendra Dhoni and Yuvraj Singh hit half-centuries to inspire India to a five-wicket win over Pakistan in their opening one-day match in Guwahati.
They put on 105, the aggressive Dhoni hitting eight fours in his 63, while Yuvraj fired six fours and a six in 58.
Both fell near the end but India got to their 240 target with 18 balls left.
Salman Butt gave Pakistan a good start with 50 from 57 balls and Mohammad Yousuf, dropped on nine, hit eight fours in a battling unbeaten 83.
The victory gave the hosts a vital early edge in the five-match series, which continues in Mohali on Thursday.
Pakistan's total of 239-7 having opted to bat first did not look sufficient, despite a slow pitch that made shot-making difficult.
