"Html Table bordering" not displayed correctly via outlook

Question

I have below html which is displaying correct output when checked on any html viewer.

Especially table bordering is displayed correctly.

But when sent an email of this output in outlook; the table bordering is messed up "only for alternate tables" as in Image2

I've done some research on this and turns out that HTML Rendering engine for outlook is quite dated. If you are trying to send html based emails here are some guidlines found:
