Virat Kohli struck an unbeaten half-century as India kept their World Twenty20 hopes alive with a six-wicket win over arch rivals Pakistan in Kolkata. Shocked by New Zealand in their opening match, when they failed to chase 127 in Nagpur, the hosts kick-started their campaign by comfortably reeling in a victory target of 119 in a game reduced to 18 overs a side by rain.The result maintained Indias unbeaten record against Pakistan in 50-over World Cups and World T20s.They did not have it all their own way though, slipping to 23 for three after the five-over powerplay, but a 61-run partnership between Kohli and Yuvraj Singh got their side back on track.Despite Yuvraj departing for 24, Kohli steered India home with an unbeaten 55 from 37 deliveries to enhance their chances of qualifying from Group 2 with games against Australia and Bangladesh still to come.The Super-10 match, switched from Dharamsala due to security concerns, was reduced after rain delayed the start by an hour.India skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni won the toss and opted to chase, his bowlers restricting Pakistan to 118 for five on a pitch that turned sharply from the off.Pakistan struggled for fluency until Umar Akmal and Shoaib Malik joined forces in the 12th over, the fourth-wicket pair upping the tempo with a stand of 41 in 24 balls.Openers Sharjeel Khan and Ahmed Shehzad operated cautiously, adding 38 in 7.4 overs until the former mis-timed a pull off Suresh Rainas fourth ball and was well caught by a diving Hardik Pandya at mid-on.Shehzad, having passed 1,000 T20I runs, sliced Jasprit Bumrah to point to depart for 25 and Shahid Afridi, promoted to number three, holed out in the deep off Pandya to leave Pakistan 60 for three. India skipper MS Dhoni reflects on his side’s six-wicket win in the company of Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi But Malik struck 26 from 16 balls, the same amount of deliveries it took Umar to make 22, and the pair both showed intent by crashing the only sixes of the innings in the 14th over, bowled by Pandya.They departed in the space of four balls, Umar edging Ravindra Jadeja behind before Malik top-edged Ashish Nehra to short fine-leg.Indias chase started poorly as after Rohit Sharma skied Mohammad Amir to cover, Shikhar Dhawan and Raina played on to consecutive Mohammad Sami balls.Yuvraj survived the hat-trick delivery and then combined effectively with Kohli, the duo playing themselves in for five overs before starting to cut loose.Kohli swept Malik for four and six in the 11th but after Yuvraj pulled Wahab Riaz for a maximum, he holed out in the deep attempting to repeat the shot.Like he did against Pakistan in the recent Asia Cup, Kohli held the innings together and Dhoni smacked a six and then the winning single to complete victory with 13 balls to spare.Watch highlights of Indias win over Pakistan on Sky Sports 2 at 7pm.

ATLANTA -- For Ervin Santana, throwing strike after strike was even better than a no-hitter -- especially when his impressive command came in his Atlanta debut. Santana allowed only three hits over eight scoreless innings, Jason Heyward homered and drove in two runs and the Braves held off the New York Mets 4-3 on Wednesday night. Santanas first 20 pitches were strikes. He threw only one ball in his first three innings. "That one was close," he said with a smile before adding "Thats all right." Santana threw a no-hitter with the Angels in 2011. "This is better than a no-hitter," he said. "When you throw strikes all the time, that means youre in control of the game."

Jordan Walden walked Eric Young Jr. and gave up a one-out single to David Wright. Craig Kimbrel walked Curtis Granderson to load the bases before striking out Lucas Duda. Juan Lagares drove in two runs with a single, and Travis dArnaud added a run-scoring single before Kimbrel fanned Ruben Tejada for his fourth save. "Im more frustrated for giving up somebody elses runs and making it close," Kimbrel said. Santana (1-0) was sharp from the start, throwing 28 strikes in his first 29 pitches. He finished with six strikeouts and no walks. He said he didnt expect to have such strong command. "Honestly, no. In the bullpen I was all over the place," Santana said. "I just stepped over the line and focused and threw strikes." Santana signed a $14.1 million, one-year contract with Atlanta after the Braves lost starters Kris Medlen and Brandon Beachy to season-ending elbow injuries last month. He pitched like he belongs near the top of the rotation as he threw only 88 pitches, 65 for strikes. Zack Wheeler (0-2) allowed four runs on eight hits in five innings for the Mets. Heyward took a 0-for-22 slump into the game and was hitting only .dddddddddddd107, with three hits in 28 at-bats. He doubled his hits total with the homer and two singles in his first three at-bats. Heyward led off the first inning with an 11-pitch at-bat against Wheeler before pulling a 3-2 fastball over the wall in right-centre for his second homer. "Its a tough way to start the game, going that deep into the count and him hitting a home run, but it was a good at-bat for him," Wheeler said. "He just came out on top on that one." The Braves added three runs off Wheeler in the fifth. Evan Gattis doubled and scored on Heywards single to right field. Santana, who slapped a single to right for his fifth career hit, and Heyward scored on Freddie Freemans single. Each team had defensive highlights early in the game. In the first inning, Lagares raced back to make a leaping catch of Freemans drive at the wall, his cleat leaving a rip in the cushion. Shortstop Andrelton Simmons showed his Gold Glove form in the second. The shortstop went to his right to field a grounder by dArnaud before slipping, hopping up to one knee and throwing out dArnaud at first base, with Freeman stretching for the throw. An excited Santana pumped his fist, shouted and pointed at Simmons. Santana celebrated with another fist-pump after Heyward, sprinting toward the right-centre gap, ended the sixth by catching Wrights drive before falling on the warning track.
