I would still put my money on an Indian win.

Yeah trust me, I will do my best for an Indian win here.

Dravid's brilliant inning of 71 runs come to an end due to a terrible misunderstanding between him and Harbhajan. Dravid went for a quick single but a sharp throw from Afridi found Dravid miles short of crease and India lost their ninth wicket on 209. It was a lovely inning from Dravid. Zaheer now comes on the crease.

The last wicket pair of Zaheer and Harbhajan frustrated the Pakistani bowlers as they added 23 runs for the last wicket. Inzy tried to put pressure on Zaheer by placing some close fielders but all in vain. Harbhajan played some good shots well in the gap to take Indian score to 232/9 in 40 overs. Ten overs are still remaining and India will be hoping to reach atleast 250 mark.

Razzaq finished off the Indian inning as Zaheer gave an easy catch to Younis ad mid-on. Razzaq got his second wicket and india is all out for 235 runs. Harbahajan made not out 26. This is not a bad total at all after disastrous middle order collapse. Sami and Akhtar were pick of the bowlers. This match is now on a very interesting stage with Pakistan chasing 236 on a slow dusty pitch with Pakistan really struggling with their batting.

Here is the final scorecard

Pakistani openers Salman Butt and Shahid Afridi are coming on the ground as pakistan get ready to chase 235 rund to win fourth Sharjah Cup League Match. For India Zaheer Khan will bowl the first over of second inning.

 

[ashu2411]

Another poor start for Pakistan as it loses Salman Butt on the second ball of the inning. Butt edged Khan to an easy catch in firs slip to Captain R Dravid. Butt goes for duck and India celebrates an early breakthrough.

Yeah they share same faces but you have to manage with what you got.

You can't get a worst start in cricket. Lets see if they can recover. Its going to be tough going as the pitch looks to be suiting pacemen.

Inzamam now comes to the crease and he has a lot of work to do with Afridi.

Afridi who has been completely out of form so far opened his account with a boundary off Pathan. Afridi looked in good touch and played his natural style by attacking from the start with some success. inzy also joined him by playing some super class shots against both Indian seamers. Even the good balls got the harsh treatments and Pakistan total raced to 41 in just 7 overs with both Inzamam and Afridi scoring almost equal.
