13TH in my list of my Favorite cricket match is a bilateral series played between India and Pakistan. This is the 4TH match of the ongoing series and Pakistan is leading the series at 2-1 as Pakistan won the 3rd and 2nd one day International. This match is played at Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore, Pakistan on the 21st March, 2004.
India has their backs towards walls as they are behind by 1-2 and with only two games to play, India needs to at least won this game to be alive in the series and then next game will be a final Match.
Pakistan won the Toss and opts to bat, So India will bowl first in this crucial match.
This is how Pakistan team and 11 looks like: Shoaib Akhtar, Mohammad Sami, Shabbir Ahmed, Shoaib Malik, Mohammad Yousuf, Inzamam-ul-Haq (c), Abdul Razzaq, Yasir Hameed, Younis Khan,Shahid Afridi, Moin Khan (wk)
And Indian team and 11 looks like this: Sachin Tendulkar, Virender Sehwag, Rahul Dravid (wk), VVS Laxman, Sourav Ganguly (c), Yuvraj Singh, Mohammad Kaif, Zaheer Khan, Irfan Pathan,Lakshmipathy Balaji, Murali Kartik
Pakistan started badly as they lost their blaster Shahid afridi on the team score of 8 runs. Next was Yasir Hameed, who lost his wicket to Murli kartik and was out stump on 45 runs in 68 balls with 5 fours and strike rate of 66. Pakistani captain Inza mam Ul Haq made a great century and he made 123 runs in 121 balls with 9 fours and 4 sixes at the strike rate of 102 and Both Abdul razzaq and Younis khan also contributing. Razzaq made 32 and khan made 36. And posted India target of 294 to win and it was very difficult as Pakistani bowlers are in good form and rhythm and India is not batting well. Pakistan lost 9 wickets and make 293 runs with extra’s contributing 30 runs as India’s also bowled 5 no balls.

Good post, but I think you could have described about the whole match in one post itself- that would have looked better.
Thanks, i am still learning. I will try to do this for newer posts, actually there was too much to write so that's why I divided that in two but next time I wouldn't do that
