Posted by Undercover 999 on Thursday, 3 January 2013

Opener Nasir Jamshed struck his second successive century to help Pakistan to an 85-run win over India in the second one-day international in Kolkata. The win gives them an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match ODI series. After India won the toss, Jamshed (106) and Mohammad Hafeez (74) shared an opening stand of 141, before the visitors were bowled out for 250. The hosts struggled in reply, and captain Mahendra Dhoni was 54 not out when they were dismissed for 165. Paceman Junaid Khan (3-39and spinner Saeed Ajmal (3-20) were the pick of the Pakistan bowlers at Eden Gardens. Jamshed, 23, was following up the 101 he made in the series-opening six-wicket win in Chennai and his partnership with Hafeez lasted until the 24th over when Hafeez missed while trying to sweep left-arm spinner Ravindra Jadeja and was bowled. After surviving a run-out appeal in the 38th over, Jamshed reached his century in the 40th with a driven four off Ravichandran Ashwin over mid-off.
