India 293 for 7 (Laxman 107,) beat Pakistan 253 ( Pathan 3-32) by 40 runs
India win series by 3-2
Laxman was the star for India in this game. He scored 107 runs and helped India to score huge total of 293 for Pakistan to chase. India won the series by 3-2 making it their first ODI series win in Pakistan.
Unlike in the previous games when he struggled for fluency early, here he found his groove from the start, timing the ball exquisitely on either side of the wicket. All the while, Laxman moved along smoothly towards his hundred. His shots were seldom anything other than orthodox cricket strokes, but his immaculate timing and placement ensured that even a gentle caress found its way to the boundary. He found the gaps regularly even when the field was spread out - a couple of cover-drives late in the innings were wonderfully sublime, as were a two delicate late-cuts off Malik.
