11th in my list of my Favorite cricket match is a bilateral series played between India and Pakistan. This is the 2nd match of the ongoing series and with India leading the series Pakistan will try to win this match and level the series. This match is played at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, Rawalpindi, Pakistan. So this is also the home ground of Pakistan superstar Shoaib Akhter.
Pakistan again won the toss and this time they are batting first, so India have to bowl first.
Pakistan team and 11 looks like that: 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, Lakshmipathy Balaji, Ashish Nehra, Ramesh Powar
Pakistan made a great start with both openers Yasir hameed and Shahid Afridi batted very well and they lost their first wicket in the form of Shahid Afridi on 138 runs in 18.2 overs, Afridi made 80 runs in only 58 balls with 10 fours and 4 big sixes at the strike rate of 138 and hameed made 86 in 108 balls with 9 fours and strike rate of 80. Shoiab Malik, Abdul razzaq, Younis Khan, Inza mam ul haq and Moh. Yusuf also contributed and set the total of 329 at the loss of six wickets in 50 over’s.
India need to play very good cricket to chase the target of 330 in 50 over’s.
India also batted very well and little master Sachin Tendulkar made 141 runs in 135 balls with 17 fours and one six at the strike rate of 104 and others also contributed but in the end India lost some wickets in hurry and that resulted in India losing this game by 15 runs and India were bowled out for 317 runs with still 8 balls to spare.
Sachin was the man of the match for his fine knock.
