After a see-saw battle through four games, the decider at Lahore produced another high-quality encounter — but this time, India held their nerve to claim a 40-run victory and secure the series 3–2. Put in to bat, India posted 293, matching Pakistan’s total from the previous game at the same venue. The top order chipped in before Rahul Dravid (76) and Yuvraj Singh guided India to a competitive score. In reply, Pakistan’s chase never quite settled. Early strikes from Irfan Pathan and Lakshmipathy Balaji reduced them to 25 for 3, and even a fluent Inzamam-ul-Haq knock couldn’t rescue the hosts. His dismissal – caught superbly by Sachin Tendulkar on the boundary – turned the game India’s way. A late counterattack from Shoaib Malik and Moin Khan (99-run stand) briefly revived hope for Pakistan, but Zaheer Khan and Balaji finished things off. India clinched the match — and the series — marking a historic away triumph in one of cricket’s fiercest rivalries. 📊 Match Summary 🏟️ Venue: Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore (Day/Night) 🪙 Toss: Pakistan won, fielded first 🏏 India: 293 all out – Dravid 76, Yuvraj 50, Kaif 36 🏏 Pakistan: 253 all out – Inzamam 38, Moin Khan 72, Malik 65 🏆 Result: India won by 40 runs 🏅 Series: India win ODI series 3–2 🔥 Key Moments ⚡ Early wickets from Pathan & Balaji rock Pakistan 💥 Inzamam’s classy 38 cut short by Tendulkar’s boundary catch 🧊 Dravid anchors India’s innings again 💪 Yuvraj’s fluent half-century boosts total 🔥 Malik–Moin 99-run fightback revives chase 🎯 Zaheer & Balaji finish strong – India clinch historic series win in Lahore #indvspak #cricketmax #highlights #final #irfanpathan #balaji
