DHAKA, June 14: Salman Butt and Younus Khan hammered centuries to set up Pakistan’s thrilling 25-run victory over arch-rivals India in the triangular one-day series final here on Saturday.

India, under pressure after Pakistan’s fireworks, were in deep trouble when they lost four wickets for 106, including those of Virender Sehwag (two) and Gautam Gambhir (40).

Yuvraj Singh then made a brave 56 and put on 73 for the fifth wicket with Suresh Raina (24) to keep alive his team’s hopes of winning the series also featuring Bangladesh.
