Pakistan captain Misbah-ul-Haq has praised his bowlers for their performance against India in Kolkata on Thursday.

The tourists won the second one-day international by 85 runs, as they dismissed the home side for 165 runs after setting them a target of 251.

"The bowlers are really doing a great job, especially Junaid [Khan] who is moving it both ways and asking questions of the batsmen," he told reporters.

"[Mohammad] Irfan has his height, [Umar] Gul also bowled well today, and [Saeed] Ajmal and [Mohammad] Hafeez always deliver for us. We have the edge in the quality of our bowling.

"Indian batsmen are struggling for quite a long time. But I think our bowlers exploited the conditions better. Normally we get flat pitches here in India. But both the pitches - in Chennai and Kolkata - were challenging for batsmen."

Pakistan will head into the final game of the ODI series in Delhi on Sunday with an unassailable 2-0 lead.
