.India : 308/7 (50.0 Ovs)
Pakistan: 309/2 (45.3 Ovs)
Toss India won and Elected to bat. This has been a clinical display by the Pakistani batting department, the batsmen rose to the occasion and delivered the goods for their side just when the team needed all these special efforts the most. After the advent of Twenty20 cricket, 300 has become a chaseable total and doesn't arouse those nervy feelings like it used to produce before. Pakistani openers took the team off to a breezy start and Jamshed looked to be in ominous touch, he had to walk off the field due to cramps but the senior pro Younis didn't show any worries and batted flawlessly. Misbah played a real captain's knock at the other end and made sure that things didn't tumble for them. With this win, the tournament is thrown wide open again, India would need to win tomorrow's game to confirm their seat in the Finals and if they fail tomorrow as well, Pakistan would find their road a touch easy again.
Younis Khan is the Man of the Match for his scintillating ton which sealed the win for Pakistan. This has thrown things open in the Asia Cup now.
India Innings : Mahendra Singh Dhoni (c) (wk) 75 runs, Rohit Sharma 58, Virender Sehwag 49, Irfan Pathan 38, Yuvraj Singh 37, Gautam Gambhir 35 but in other side Suresh Raina three time MOM winners got out with only one run & IPL one of the best performer Yusuf Pathan out with zero runs, in fact very bad performance in this Asia Cup 2008 so mama be ready to go back to ranjit trophy. In Bowling only Piyush Chawla able to get 1 wkt.
Pakistan Innings : Younis Khan 123 * runs and Man of the Matchm Misbah Ul-Haq (c) 70* runs, Nasir Jamshed 53 * (retd hurt), Salman Butt 30 run out (G Gambhir/M Dhoni) and Rao Iftikhar 3 wkts, Abdur Rauf 2, Saeed Ajmal 1 but Sohail Tanvir IPL Best bowler here in this match given one of the worst performer given 87 runs with only only wkt at end in 10 overs.
Ohh! This is getting spicier and more intriguing. Don't miss out on any of the action from tomorrow. Till then from all of us here, it is good bye and good night. Adios...
