India snapped Pakistan’s winning streak by inflicting a crushing 140-run defeat on them in the second match of the one-day tri-series at Sher-e-Bangla Stadium here on Tuesday. A good team performance ensured the Indian victory as their batsmen and bowlers fired in unison to stop Pakistan’s march towards 13th consecutive win. Indians, having elected to bat, piled up 330 for eight, thanks to a stupendous batting by the top-order.Openers Virender Sehwag (89) and Gautam Gambhir (62) hit sparkling half-centuries and shared a 155-run partnership to lay a strong foundation for the big total. Pakistan, in reply, were bundled out for 190 in just 35.4 overs, giving India its biggest win against them.Skipper Shoaib Malik waged a lone battle with his 53-run knock and did not find any able ally at the other end. Praveen Kumar (4/53) spoiled Pakistan run-chase as he rocked the Pakistan batting line up by claiming three quick wickets, including two on consecutive balls. !
