Sheikhupura, Feb 28: A brilliant 194 by Indian blind team batsman Shekhar Naik failed to stop Pakistan's five-wicket win. Pakistan took an unassailable 3-1 lead in the series here on Friday.
Naik hit 25 boundaries and a six in his 194 to carry the Indian blind team to 359-5 in their 40 overs.
But Pakistan reached the target in 35.5 overs for the loss of just five wickets, with Mohammad Fayyaz hitting 101 - his second century of the series.
Fayyaz hit eleven boundaries and was ably assisted by Mohammad Waqas(62) and Mohammad Shahbaz, who made 46.
Pakistan won the first two matches in Lahore and Karachi, while India came back to win the third match, also held in Karachi. The final match of the series will be played in Rawalpindi, next to the capital Islamabad, on Sunday.
India's blind cricket team is on its maiden foreign tour and is also playing a series against arch rival Pakistan for the first time.
