SHOAIB Malik and Mohammad Yousuf shared a record fourth-wicket stand to help Pakistan beat India by 54 runs on Saturday to reach the Champions Trophy semifinals.
Pakistan compiled 302 for nine after winning the toss and batting before restricting it arch rival to 248 all out at Centurion, South Africa.
The victory led Pakistan to the top of Group A with four points from two matches ahead of Australia on two. India and West Indies have no points.
"From now on, it's like a knockout for us," India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni said after his side's first match. "If we don't play well, we can pack up and go back home."
Shoaib (128) and Yousuf (87) put on 206 in 193 balls, the biggest stand for any wicket in the Champions Trophy and a fourth-wicket record for Pakistan.
The previous record in the competition was 192 for the first wicket, shared by Indians Virender Sehwag and Saurav Ganguly against England in Colombo in 2002 and Chris Gayle and Wavell Hinds for West Indies against Bangladesh in Southampton in 2004.
In reply, India reached 205-5 in the 35th over, only to collapse all out for 248 in the 45th.
Rahul Dravid top-scored with 76 before being run out in the 42nd over, Umar Gul's fine throw from the cover boundary beating him after Harbhajan Singh had called for a third run.
Earlier in Johannesburg, half centuries from Ricky Ponting and Mitchell Johnson helped Australia to secure a 50-run win over West Indies in their Group A match.
In reply, West Indies could manage only 225 all out in 46.5 overs, with Dale Richards unable to bat due to injury.
