| Asia Cup, 2008 (Pakistan)
Pakistan vs India, ODI | | 4.5 | 4.5 Tanvir to Sehwag, SIX!!, not all that full, Sehwag clears his left leg out of the way and hoicks it way over long on for a biggie, that went zillions of miles back! |
| 6.5 | 6.5 Iftikhar to Sehwag, SIX!!, Brutally hit, Skier and went the distance, dropped in short and Sehwag rocks back to deposit it over deep mid wicket for a biggie, margin of error is so so little when this bomber is on strike! |
| 15.5 | 15.5 Tanvir to Yuvraj, SIX!!, Shortish delivery on the stumps, Yuvraj comes on the frontfoot and takes it nicely onto the middle of the bat, hammers it over deep mid wicket for a biggie, went a few stands back, monstrous hit! |
| 10.3 | 10.3 Iftikhar to Gambhir, out Caught by Afridi at cover!! A touch too overambitious, Gambhir comes down the track and looks to go inside out, bat face turning in his hand there, scoops a catch towards cover and Afridi doesn't make any mistake, finally, some respite for the Pakistanis! Gambhir c Afridi b Iftikhar 35(32) <4s-4> |
| 11.1 | 11.1 Rauf to Sehwag, out Caught by Sarfraz!! Length delivery on the off, Sehwag tries to steer it down very fine, off the thin outside edge and that just about carries into the keeper's gloves, Sehwag is gone too, both the openers walks back in quick succession! Sehwag c Sarfraz b Rauf 49(33) <4s-6 6s-2> |
| 11.6 | 11.6 Rauf to Raina, out Caught by Butt at deep mid wicket!! Favourite shot backfires the man in form, short delivery and Raina pulls, doesn't control it well on that occasion, top edge falls safe in the lap of Butt in the deep, Pakistan is making a tremendous comeback, Rauf is having a dream day! Raina c Butt b Rauf 1(6) |
| 18.2 | 18.2 Iftikhar to Yuvraj, out Caught by Sarfraz!! Angled across the left hander, Yuvraj waits for it and tries to steer it very fine, flies off the outside edge and brilliantly pouched by the keeper, dives to his left and takes a stunning catch to see the back of Yuvraj, he was playing wonderfully well! Yuvraj c Sarfraz b Iftikhar 37(32) <4s-4 6s-1> |
| 41.3 | 41.3 Iftikhar to Rohit Sharma, out Caught by Rauf at deep mid wicket!! Iftikhar bangs it in short and that gets a touch too big on the right hander, Rohit Sharma fails to control it, top edged to the man in the deep, nicely cupped, Rohit Sharma is gone while trying to step up the ante! Rohit Sharma c Rauf b Iftikhar 58(71) <4s-4> |
| 42.5 | 42.5 Ajmal to Yusuf, out Caught by Jamshed at long off!! Lobbed up on the off, Yusuf comes on the frontfoot and looks to hoist it over the top, too much of spin and takes the outside half of the bat, skied miles up in the air and taken neatly, soft dismissal, the man of IPL success is back without troubling the scorers, gone for a blob! Yusuf c Jamshed b Ajmal 0(4) |
| 48.4 | 48.4 Tanvir to Dhoni, out Caught by Sarfraz at square leg!! good length delivery on the middle and leg, Dhoni looks to clip it over mid wicket, Misbah and the keeper run in for the catch, the calling is confusing, they collide but the keeper pouches it safely in his big gloves, end of a captain's knock Dhoni c Sarfraz b Tanvir 76(96) <4s-4> |
| 39.2 | 39.2 Iftikhar to Dhoni, 1 run, full delivery outside the off stump, Dhoni comes on the frontfoot and leans into the shot, drives it to deep extra cover for a single, gets to his 21st ODI FIFTY!!, good knock under pressure! |
| 39.3 | 39.3 Iftikhar to Rohit Sharma, 1 run, back of a length delivery outside the off stump, slanting into him, Rohit Sharma opens the face of the bat and steers it down to third man for a single, 4th ODI FIFTY!! for Rohit Sharma now |
| 39.6 | 39.6 Iftikhar to Rohit Sharma, no run, full on the stumps, Rohit Sharma shows the full face of the bat and looks to drive it very straight, went right through the hands of the bowler, Iftikhar was a touch late to go down for the catch on that occasion, catch dropped!! or maybe a touch harsh on the bowler! |
| 42.3 | 42.3 Ajmal to Yusuf, no run, flighted on the stumps, Yusuf thwarts it straight back to the bowler, straight in and straight out, that was hit really hard, catch dropped!! |
| 7.6 | 7.6 Pathan to Jamshed, out Butt Run Out!!1 run completed, Jamshed taps it down to third man for a single, ohh! chance of a second run there, Butt steams in and is halfway through, Jamshed denies but too little too late really, Butt is stranded, good throw from the deep and Mahendra Singh Dhoni flicks off the bails in a flash, only way the Indians could have picked up a wicket, poor running! Butt run out (Gambhir/Dhoni) 36(31) <4s-6> |
| 25.1 | 25.1 Chawla to Yousuf, out Bowled!! Chawla comes round the wicket to the right hander, flat and full on the middle and leg, Yousuf goes for the sweep, misses and gets castled round the legs, that is a big wicket for India Yousuf b Chawla 20(22) <4s-2> |
| 16.5 | 16.5 Ishant to Jamshed, FOUR!!, length delivery on the stumps, Jamshed stays behind the line and slogs it across the line between midwicket and long on, poor misfield inside the ring gives the left hander his 3rd ODI FIFTY!! first fifty against a quality side! |
| 39.6 | 39.6 Kumar to Misbah Ul-Haq, FOUR!!, and that is another shortish delivery, deserves punishment and Misbah Ul-Haq cuts it to square third man, desperate dive by Ishant but goes in vain, that is Misbah Ul-Haq's 5th ODI FIFTY!! |
| 30.1 | 30.1 Sehwag to Misbah Ul-Haq, SIX!!, flighted delivery on the middle and leg, Misbah Ul-Haq kneels down and slog sweeps it over deep mid wicket, this man hits them hard, real hard!!! |
| 33.2 | 33.2 Chawla to Younis Khan, SIX!!, and that was even easier looking, tossed up on the stumps, Younis Khan slog sweeps it over deep mid wicket, biggie!!! |
