This is really perplexing.. The Pakistani batsman are charging a lot today. Their run rate is fantastic for this chase but they are losing wickets as they go!!
This is playing totally different for me. But seems like it adds realism. Normally, Pakistan is a team which blows hot and cold on their days!!!

Ha Ha.. Lets wait till it gets over. Pakistan has a big atom bomb with Shahid Afridi in and if he bursts on us, we have to look for a hospital!!!

Ha Ha. Buddy, careful.. The Anti-Corruption Unit might be looking on us!!
You might have seen that Afridi scored really quick this series off me. Just when I thought I would win, he came and won it for Pakistan in the 3rd ODI. And he is the one who irritated me so far with the ball too! He has been Pakistan's star player this series!
Yes, I feel the wheels of Pakistan which was so good this series is again coming us as it happened in Kolkatta in the third test match! I was surprised by the way they played in this series so far. It made me think whether I am a good player or not! But now its coming off. Razzaq and Afridi remain!
Razzaq and Afridi remain! - INDIA ON A ROLL HERE AT THE FEROZSHAH KOTLA!!
India are surely on a roll here at the Kotla and fans are already anticipating a unseasonal Diwali here! Harbhajan perplexed Younis Khan and put him to shame with his special yet controversial 'doosra' the delivery that goes straight through, though bowled with an off spinning action. Younis Khan tried to sweep the ball from outside the off stump but there was no turn in the ball and the ball was hit straight into the stumps! Pakistan 99-6
Afridi and Razzaq stage fightback!
Two of the most unpredictable players in world cricket - Razzaq and Afridi. They are staging a fightback of sorts putting a unbeaten partnership of 34 off just 50 balls as Pakistan try to come back into the game. Afridi was particularly positive though he too had his slice of luck when Dhoni missed a wide stumping and the umpire turned down a close call for LBW.
Pakistan need 126 runs off 150 balls
50 run partnership between Razzaq and Afridi - Pakistan coming back into the game!
Razzaq and Afridi have together stitched a 50 run partnership that looks to bring Pakistan right back into this game! Both have totally stopped going after the bowlers and are sensibly rotating the strike and scoring the odd boundary when the opportunity presents!
Pakistan need 111 off 120 balls!
WHAT??ANOTHER THRILLER?? 59 OFF 60 BALLS!!!
This is turning out to be another thriller and since this is a final, this thriller can turn out to be the best thriller of the 5 matches so far!! Pakistan need 59 runs off 60 balls. Indian fans who hoped Diwali has come have been confronted with Pakistan's atom bomb, Shahid Afridi and he has scored 59* and is raring to have a go at the Indian bowlers in the closing stages. He has now spoilt Tendulkar's brilliant match figures with a 16 run over!! But Razzaq is out at the other end. Sami accompanying Afridi in this another enthralling contest!!
INDIA - 1 WICKET AWAY FOR A SERIES WIN!!
When many thought Afridi would spring up a miracle for Pakistan, Sachin Tendulkar coupled with Dravid provided the anti climax. Afridi set out for two runs and Dravid'd superb throw back to Sachin found Afridi short of his crease! Shabbir Ahmed then went for a wild slog and Dhoni did the rest. Harbhajan got Shabbir's wicket. Harbhajan is having a dream match with 7-1-22-3

INDIA WIN SERIES 3-2!!!
YIPPIEEEE...!! INDIA HAVE WON THIS SERIES 3-2!! A SUPERB CONTEST MADE OUT BY PAKISTAN IN THE END DUE TO SHAHID AFRIDI AND ABDUR RAZZAQ. IF THEY HAD STAYED FOR MORE TIME TOGETHER, THIS MATCH MIGHT HAVE SEEN A MIRACLE!! ANYWAYS, EXCELLENT WIN FOR INDIA AND THEY GET THE PEPSI ODI TROPHY!!
Great bowling by the Indian spinners ensured that India won here. Harbhajan picked 3 wickets, Kumble picked 2, Khan picked 2 and Tendulkar picked 1 as India put in a great bowling performance.
Match Report and Presentation Ceremony to follow!

yeah!!!
I knew that India would win the series at the end.
You are right about Pakistan. Never know which team will show up.
Well played India, and a great climax to your wonderful story.

Yes, from 99-6 they wonderfully fought on to post 225. I think the spinners played havoc in this Dusty pitch! If Inzamam had batted first, it might have been a different ball game!!
I hope everyone enjoyed the series especially the Pakistani fans. Sorry that your team lost but what a great fight it had with India!!! Awesome!!!
Match Report & Presentation Ceremony
Sorry guys, forgot screenshots of the scorecard!
One of the greatest series comes to an end as India emerges victorious by 37 runs in the final ODI at New Delhi. Pakistan gave a valiant fight but could not make it in the end as India closed the doors on them with a great spinning display.
India scored 262 runs on this wicket full of turn. One thought that this total wasnt enough to put pressure on Pakistan. And going by the opening start, one thought India might well slide to the third defeat of the series! But at 71-0, Khan bowled Hameed with a beautiful devliery and then trapped Butt LBW to bring Pakistan down to 71-2. Then it was a spinners show and Kumble first bowled Shoaib Malik with a top spinner which Malik missed. Inzamam charged down the wicket to Harbhajan and was bowled. When it looked like Youhana and Younis Khan would restore normalcy, Youhana was caught at the deep cover boundary. And at 99 when Younis Khan hit a Harbhajan doosra straight into his stumps, Pakistan were on the brink of humiliation.
But as it always happens, some one has to bring a twist into this tale and it was provided by Afridi and Razzaq. Both played brilliant cricket, picking up singles and also crashing that odd boundary. But the Indian part timers aided by Tendulkar bowled a tight line and kept increasing the required run rate. Finally in the end, the endurance of both Razzaq and Afridi gave up as they got out in unnecessary ways. Finally, India wrapped up the match, becoming the deserved winners by 37 runs.
Presentation Ceremony:
Shastri: What a series this has been? Absolutely amazing.. Fortunes fluctuating throughout the series. Now lets get down to the presentation ceremony. I would like to call upon Inzamam Ul Haq to collect the losers cheque of Rs.50,000. So Inzy, must be really disappointed?
Inzy: YES. We never thought we would be out for 225. Our batsman played badly in the start and put us out of the match. India played very well and they deserved to win this one!!
Shastri: Where did you think it went wrong?
Inzy: When we were 99-6.
Shastri: Bad luck Inzy. Now for the Man of the Match award. A tough one really. But in the end, it goes to Anil Kumble for his good bowling performance in the Pakistani innings.
(Anil collects Rs.5,000 from the dias)
Shastri: So Anil, how does this feel?
Anil:This is right up there among the best. Beating Pakistan is always special and I am very happy that I could contribute my part.
Shastri: Did you think the pitch played any part in the Pakistani top order collapse?
Anil: I dont think it played a physical part. It mentally disarranged the minds of the Pakistanis and they were confused on what plan to adopt to negate the spinners.
Shastri: Thanks and congrats Anil. Now for the Man of the series award. Again, a tough choice.But it goes to the person who started the series with a bang with two consecutive centuries - Shoaib Malik
Malik: Could have been more sweeter had Pakistan won the series. Anyways, happy that my form has improved over the past few series.
Shastri: Now for the Most Valuable Player of the series award. It goes to Sachin Tendulkar
Sachin: This award feels very good with the team's series win. Would love to contribute more towards such wins.
Shastri: Now for the big one! May I call upon Ganguly to receive the Pepsi ODI trophy from Dr.Abdul Kalam, the President of India
Shastri: Congrats Ganguly. Before you go to celebrate, how does this win mean to you?
Ganguly: One among the best. As I always say, beating Pakistan is really special and we are very happy with this victory here. It should boost the confidence of the squad.
Shastri: Who do you think turned the match today?
Ganguly: I feel it was Khan with those first two wickets who brought us back in the game when Pakistan threatened to run away.
Shastri: Thanks Ganguly. You may go now. Thats all we have from the Ferozshah Kotla. Hope you enjoyed our coverage of the test and the ODI series. Till the next tournament, its bye bye from our studios.

I was hoping for you to be there when it was 59 off 60 balls. The tension was literally growing on me. Thank god, Razzaq and Afridi got out themselves. Or else, it would have been different!
Can the moderators here change the title of this thread? I would like to be changed to "India hosts Sri Lanka & tours New Zealand"

Sure man.. Thanks.. Did you release it recently?
I hope I can notch up some comprehensive wins against Sri Lanka and NZ. I am planning to play with Ravi's ODI patch (until Tutsi releases his next patch for all levels because in Normal levels, the cpu bowls lot of extras!). I think Ravi's patch is the hardest one of all patches. So, comprehensive wins might be a rarity. Lets see. I just wish the matches to be as hard as possible!
