[Saj]

Rajasthan have won the toss and are batting first.

Warne's team are already through to the semi finals and if Chennai win this game, they are through to the last 4 too.

 

[Saj]

Nice to see Kamran Akmal being given a chance today by Rajasthan

25 for 0 from 3 overs.

 

[Master Blaster]

Asnodkar is blazing away !!

 

[pakistani pride]

WOW is the highest 20/20 stand for any wicket ? they are blazing away. Smith killing them. 110 for 0

123/0. May be Warne can claim victory now.

 

[moumotta]

Great innings by Smith.

Now Akmal making the most of it.

 

[Pak_mystery]

Kami is showing why he should have got more chances . .

 

[Pak_mystery]

Tano should be promoted up the order . . He can hit the ball a long way.

Yes - another Pakistani harshly treated by an Indian team. Awesome stuff so far, 43 off just 20

You should get rid of that chip on your shoulder.

Yeah who is the capitan of that team?
Smith
Watson
Warne
Tanveer
Now you tell me which player should be dropped in order to bring him in?

 

[wanted_desi]

You should get rid of that chip on your shoulder.

We should nominate him for Worst poster in history of PP

 

[moumotta]

211/5
Below par considering they were 127/0 in 11 overs.

 

[lollol]

We should nominate him for Worst poster in history of PP

Just ignore these kind of attacks on indians....

everyone knows the non-indian players have to compete with other NON-indian players....

 

[shabs100]

tanner getting slaughtered

 

[Pak_mystery]

Tano has gone for too many runs but lets hope he finishes his four overs with 2 . 3 wickets .. I think he needs about 3 wickets to become the leading wicket taker .. I hope he finishes the tournament being named best bowler of the tournament . . .

 

[shabs100]

kamran misses stumping - warne is ticked.

 

[observer1]

Good Batting there by Akmal

 

[moumotta]

Patel goes. Akmal doesn't miss this time but the damage may have been done already.

 

[moumotta]

Dhoni goes. Its swinging back.

 

[dinakar]

another fantastic performance by Sohail towards the end!! this should boost Delhi's chances. isn't it?

 

[moumotta]

Great last over by Tanvir.

 

[dinakar]

Sohail gets the purple cap now!!!! who would have expected it before the tournament begins?

 

[Pak_mystery]

O yess .. Tanno gets 3 .. Great bowling

 

[observer1]

Good work by Tanvir.

Alot of Bowlers mess up in the Last Few overs, Tanvir is becoming Very Reliable.

 

[jackal786]

I gotta see how Tanvir plays under sohaib Malik. Warne keeps on talking to his bowlers.

 

[Dhonifan]

Yes - another Pakistani harshly treated by an Indian team. Awesome stuff so far, 43 off just 20

not so awesome if you count how many runs Raina took after Kami missed that dolly of a stumping

Tanno on the other hand is doing very well and being treated in same manner by the other Indian team
