Story Sharjah Cup FINAL - India VS Pakistan

[ashu2411]

Dravid and Yuvraj completed 50 run stand for fourth wicket but the ever increasing required run rate now reaches well over 6 run per over. India now need to accelerate soon as Kaif and Venugopal are et to come. This match is proceeding towards a very exciting finish.

Eek! They have scored a total of 55 runs between them and have taken 99 balls! They really should step on the gas now!

yup they both have really struggled to pick singles long the ground and I didnt played any shot in the air to save wickets. As a result run rate has fallen considerably.

 

[ashu2411]

Just when things started to fall in right place for India, Pakistan strucked once again. This time Kaneria strucked Yuvraj's off stump with a very good leg-spin delivery which came in to the left hander after pitching. So india lost their fourth wicket and now Kaif joins the Captain Rahul Dravid in the middle.

Kaif also could not last long and became Kaneria's second victim when Butt took a brilliant diving catch at covers to finish his small inning. Rahul Dravid now remains India's only hope who is still not out on 43 and Venugopal Rao now walks in to prove himself at this critical situation.

well Dravid is the key now and dont forget pathan is yet to come with Agarkar and Harbhajan. This match is not over yet.

Looks like another final loss for India.

 

[ashu2411]

Venugopal also falls as India look to slump into another loss in finals. This time Naved ul Hasan bowled a good out swin short delivery to Venu which he managed to edge and Kamran Akmal took an easy catch behind the stumps. Pathan now walks in and the required run rate is now well over 7 run an over.

Thanks buddy but dont loose hope as their is still a possibilty of an Indian win.

 

[ashu2411]

Rahul Dravid reached to his fifety of 85 balls as the captain tries his heart out for a win.

 

[Cricketman]

:happy

run rate is close to eight. Does dravid have enough confidence to slog?

 

[ashu2411]

Rahul Dravid's slog keeps Indian hopes alive. Dravid has scored 17 runs from 12 balls after reachin his fifety which included two more boundaries to his name. Pathan is just surviving at the other end by missing many hits. This partnership is really frustrating the Pakistani bowlers as they are not just protecting their wickets but also scoring at more then required run rate.
