Fortune Favours Tendulkar
( Umar Gul Gets rid off Sachin but its No Ball )
( Umar Gul Gets rid off Sachin but its No Ball )
Inzi stopped Akhtar and Asif and introduced Gul & Kaneria to operate. Gul started with an impressive over where luck did not favour him.
Gul bowled an excellent delivery which moving away from Sachin. Tendulkar,who was aggressive, moved his feet a bit and tried to go over the top in covers but it wasn't properly timed. This lead to an simple catch but simultaneously, there was a shout from umpire " NO Ball " before bowler started celebrating!
Gul can't believe it. He checked his foot steps with the umpire and it was a huge no ball. Gul showed a lots of frustration while going back to his runner up. Sachin started feeling the pressure now. Luck have striked him twice already! Immediately, Sehwag went to Tendulkar and had some chat asking him to cool down.
Inzi was disappointed and all Pakistan fans were also upset. Gul was very very unlucky! Tendulkar is the man, Pakistan team is looking for.. They got him but it was a no ball... Whether this could be the turning point of the match?????
Sachin's Half Century!
Meanwhile, Sachin reached his fifty and raised his bat towards the dressing room... Everyone applauded him but there seem to be some tension in Sachin's face. Also, he has reduced the aggressive approach compared to first ten overs.
In other end, sehwag is giving an excellent company to Tendulkar. Viru had started off his innings well so far. Also it seems no3 is working for him than as a opener. This partnership is looking solid & Tendulkar, in last few deliveries, is very watchful but his strike rate is still greater than 100.
Well, 15 Overs ended and India have started off well in response to Pakistan's big target. But there was a huge luck for Sachin also. Pakistan bowlers have to get a breakthrough especially Sachin who is the nightmare now.While India needs this pair to continue for atleast next 10 Overs!
India :- 94/1(15)
S.Tendulkar : 60*(53)
V.Sehwag : 20*(22)
Luck In Favour of Tendulkar Twice already!
Required Rate : 6.43 R/Over
