| Sachin's Reaction after taking the catch of PAK Captain Afridi |
Earlier In the toss India won and elected to bat first on a wicket that have some assistance for the spinners..then, Ravi asked Dhoni "What is the composition of the side..?"
Dhoni replied..."Only one change Nehra in for Aswin..."
Dhoni's decision was shocking as even Ravi stood still for a while..and everyone is ready to blame Dhoni....If India loses the match..!!!
Indian openers started off well especially Shewag..strated to play his natural innings..everyone speaked about the competition between Umar Gul and Shewag..but Shewag make this competition one sided by smashing 4 Fours in a single over.but,Wahab Riaz who looks good and troubled Indian Batsmen's through out the match picks up the important wicket of viru with a excellent delivery.In walks Gambir...but he didnt last long as he got out to part time spinner hafeez India need a goood partnership to steady the ship..Kholi and Sachin provided But again Wahab Riaz put Pakistan back on track by picking up Kholi and the man in form Yuvi with an excellent yorker.But,pak fielding woe's continues as they dropped 6 catches and four of them are of sachin's bat. "Sachin feels that he is the luckiest person in the world yesterday.." But Sachin got out after a good innings of 85 runs..Dhoni again got out at the crucial time of the game..Now India were in a spot of bother with Raina and Tail enders remain...But Raina didnt let India down as he capitalize the batting powerplay which gave India a fighting total of 260 runs...
Haffez got off pakistan with a flyer by playing some magical shots in the coaching manual..India drawn first blood by removing Kamran Akmal...and munaf picked up the important wicket of the dangerous looking Haffez..and Yuvi get in to the act by picking up two important wicket of good looking youngster Safiq and struggling younis khan..Once he got out Misbah and Umar Akmal put up a vital partnership but misbah cant even able to get the singles and he is struggling at one end but Akmal played some good and massive shots and put Indian spinners under pressure...But bhajji get into the action by removing Umar Akmal in the first ball after the drinks break..then the door opened for India..to go through the Pakistan middle order Munaf picks up he dangerous batsmen Razzak and Bhajji picks up the Pakistan captain Afridi..misbah tried his level best in the death overs..but it is very late...
And the historic moment came when kholi takes a skyier from Misbah and India through to the Final two to face the srilankan lions in the grand finale on saturday..in Navi mumbai which is the Home of the Master Blaster Sachin who is expected to complete his 100th International Century in front of his home crowd...
Wicket of UMAR AKMAL is the turning point of the game...ALL THE BEST TEAM INDIA
