Matches Posted The Sharjah Cup | India-Pakistan as joint Champions!

Btw will you guys mind me doing re-runs of simulations (which won't be posted ofcourse) for giving you guys better matches. This is just my first List-A league and the ODIs are obviously complex formats as compared to red-ball tournaments.
I dont see the problem at all.

I had to come up with this idea since there are almost too many low scoring games and it's been a snooze fest for the most part with a lot of one-sided encounters.
Tbh it would have been unrealistic to see 300 being scored again and again since this is a tournament based on the 90s. These matches are exciting, always feel like a wicket is near when going through the commentary

300 would be once in a while. But it should be like 240-260 range nail biters considering it's late 90s.
 
Honestly i don't mind the current ratings.
(Also because i'm on top of the table :D)
Good teams should thrive even when competition increases. Got to believe your team to come out on top. And remember it's Pakistan ofcourse so stranger things can happen.

Sanath Jayasuriya proved his worth by scoring a century striking at more than a 100 on a decent pitch which set the chase beautifully for Sri Lanka. Although after Jayasuriya got out on 107, New Zealand bowlers kept things tight bringing down the equation to 27 required of last 5 overs. Arjuna Ranatunga timed his knock brilliantly as he scored an unbeaten 30 from 32 as Sri Lanka won in just 47.4 overs! Jayasuriya's carnage made the Kiwis clueless about how they were going to defend this score. All this makes oneself wonder whether it was right to leave Jayasuriya out after failing initially in the tournament? Even though Sri Lanka have won this one comfortably but it now becomes even more difficult for the to qualify because of their not so good looking NRR.

Thats the end of the match
A very close match indeed but in the end the Sri Lanka batsmen managed to overtake the total
They made it with just 14 balls to spare

Aggressive start from Sachin & Navjot Singh Sidhu followed by a 42-ball 46 from the Indian Captain Azharuddin and a decent finish from Ajay Jadeja took India to a very good score of 267/6. India though would be disappointed not to score 300 after going a more than 6 runs per over upto the 26th over. Pakistan employed a strange tactics of opening the bowling with Saqlain Mushtaq, must've been something to do with his previous performance against India in this tournament. Also Shoaib Akhtar bowled just 3 overs, perhaps gives us signs that he is not fully fit? Waqar Younis bowled a great spell taking 2/51. Afridi also took 2/47 while Wasim Akram took 1/40. Abdul Razzaq went for a little too many but he picked up a wicket.

Saeed Anwar with another aggressive innings gave Pakistan a good start to the chase. Afridi played an odd innings as he scored 43 in 76 balls! Some slow batting by Inzamam ul Haq was equally responsible to pulling back Pakistan's chase. India struggled to get wickets but their good death bowling ensured a 10-run victory for them!
Code:
Thats the end of the match
What a thriller between two evenly balanced teams!
But, in the end India's bowling led them to victory
Thats all the cricket from Sharjah
 
INDIA                267/6     50.0 overs
PAKISTAN             257/4     50.0 overs
   
India won by 10 runs
Man of the match: Navjot Singh Sidhu
 
Afridi and Yousuf's knocks cost us. Need to rebound before the final.
 
I had went through the standings once again and I found out that it is not possible for :sri: SRI LANKA to have more points than :ind: INDIA and :aus: AUSTRALIA since both of them have 16 points already. A win will take :sri: SRI LANKA to 16 points but :ind: INDIA or :aus: AUSTRALIA will eventually have 18 points while :pak: PAKISTAN has already qualified already with 20 points already.

Adam Gilchrist scored a scintillating hundred being aggressive against seamers and watchful against spinners. Gilchrists knock of 114(106) included 12 fours & 3 sixes. He alongside Mark Waugh who scored 41 added 92 for the first wicket stand. Ricky Ponting continued his woeful form as he got out on just 7. After Gilchrist got out Australia lost 6/46!!! However, Bevan alonside McGrath added some useful runs as Australia scored 264/9 in their 50 overs. Michael Bevan scored an unbeaten 44. Ajit Agarkar took 4/48 in his 10 overs while Harbhajan Singh continued his good form with the ball taking 2/55. A wicket each for Kumble and Srinath. India would need to score 265 runs in their 50 overs to make it to the Final!!

India got off to a steady start as they added 113 runs for the first wicket before Sachin Tendulkar got out to Shane Warne on 60 caught by Gilchrist behind the wickets. Navjot Singh Sidhu & Sourav Ganguly carried the momentum before Sidhu got run-out due to a mis-communication with Ganguly on 61. Sourav Ganguly was on 29 from 62 at the end of the 40th over. India needed 79 from 60 which eventually came down to 71 runs from 48 balls. However, saving wickets proved to be a huge bonus for India as they won by 8 wickets with 8 balls to spare. Ganguly scored 79*(95) with 7 fours and 4 huge sixes! The Indian Captain Azharuddin scored 44*(49). Australia did not bowl badly at all but the Indians were just too good on the day!
