| This has been a clinical display by the Pakistani batting department, the batsmen rose to the occasion and delivered the goods for their side just when the team needed all these special efforts the most. After the advent of Twenty20 cricket, 300 has become a chaseable total and doesn't arouse those nervy feelings like it used to produce before. Pakistani openers took the team off to a breezy start and Jamshed looked to be in ominous touch, he had to walk off the field due to cramps but the senior pro Younis didn't show any worries and batted flawlessly. Misbah played a real captain's knock at the other end and made sure that things didn't tumble for them. With this win, the tournament is thrown wide open again, India would need to win tomorrow's game to confirm their seat in the Finals and if they fail tomorrow as well, Pakistan would find their road a touch easy again. Ohh! This is getting spicier and more intriguing. Don't miss out on any of the action from tomorrow. Till then from all of us here in the comm box, it is good bye and good night. Adios... |
