Tri -Series Bangladesh - India beats Pakistan by 140 runs.

India muscled its way to a 140 - victory over Pakistan. The margin of victory (140 runs) is India's biggest one- day win over their arch-rivals.

Coach Lawson had hoped that Pakistan who were on a winning streak of 11 wins, beat India by a 150 run margin. Sadly the Pakistan's quest for a win came unstuck when Sehwag with the bat and then Praveen Kumar with the ball waded into the Pakistan bowling and batting respectively.

With Bangladesh making up the third team it appears another Pakistan - India finals is on the cards.

Pre game, lawson pep talk:

Lawson: you gotta beat the ENEMY by 15o runs

But as it is well known, the Pak team is their own worst ENEMY

Malik: sorry coach, we only beat us by 140 runz

Lawson got a bit confused after seeing so many Pakistani players in IPL. The word enemy is a bit out of the box. Lawson must have had his own words for his dinner I presume.
