Pakistan`s triumph by 85 runs is their fifth largest in terms of runs over India in ODIs in India - the largest being by 159 runs at Feroz Shah Kotla on April 17, 2005.
Kolkata, Jan 3: Nasir Jamshed scored his third successive One Day International hundred against India at Eden Gardens here on Thursday in the second ODI of the three-match series. Scorecard After a great start (141/1), Pakistan collapsed to 250
Pakistan squandered a brilliant start provided by openers Nasir Jamshed and Mohammad Hafeez and stumbled to 250 all out in 48.3 overs.
India got off to good start with Virender Sehwag and Gautam Gambhir negotiated Pakistan pacers well in the second ODI of the three-match series in Kolkata.
Gautam Gambhir and Virender Sehwag made a cautious start to India's chase of 251 against Pakistan in the second One-Day International at Kolkata on Thursday.
The Indians needed a good start from their struggling openers -- Gautam Gambhir and Virender Sehwag -- but it did not materialise yet again, putting pressure on the jittery middle-order.
Sehwag (31), Gambhir (11), Virat Kohli (6), Yuvraj Singh (9) and Suresh Raina (18) perished in quick succession to give the visitors the upper hand in what eventually turned out to be a lop-sided contest.
Skipper Dhoni, who scored a heroic unbeaten 113 in the first ODI in Chennai, again provided some resistance with a cautious and unbeaten 54 but wickets kept tumbling at the other end to nullify his efforts.
India lost to Pakistan last time around at home in 2004-05 when they lost the six-match series 2-4.
And now India have lost all the four matches they have played against Pakistan at Eden Gardens.
