India-Pak T20 match

Given a bowling pitch and IND-PAK match is a history!!

No cricketer, no story writer would have written a better script of the India-Pak first T20 match. What happened on the ground is now a history!!
India with their usual bit started not by hitting runs but by getting out. In no time were they four down for 40 odd. The point to highlight here is that it was a bowling pitch. Well, not exactly a bowling pitch but definitely with juice in the wicket. It was asking the bowlers, “Bowl at right length and line and I will assist you”. That’s what did our bowlers from India and pakistan and we had a thriller on our hands ….

It all started with India playing badly and not showing respect to the excellent bowling display shown by pak bowlers and were really in spot of bother. But then uthappa and Dhoni played sensibly and helped India build a decent, although not a winning score. Everything happens so fast in T20 in the addvertisements are suffering a loss. Not even two adds are telecasted between overs. That’s really nice for us.

Pakistan started their innings with a purpose. Not over aggressive. Indian bowlers showed that they can be more than dangerous if given a good wicket to bowl on. Tight bowling and an amazing fielding kep them into the game but for the late knocks of the Pak lower order batsmen.
Finally, we witnessed which is normally relate with Soccer. The shootout, it was rather a “knockout” Bowlers coming for party again and India winning the knockout and hence the match 3-0

So, this was a match having given a fair chance to each and every cricketer in the team. Bowlers getting a good condition to bowl on and batsmen are always the one taking advantage…and yes … everyone enjoyed it for sure..

What an amazing match .. A memorable one for sure!!!
