Pakistan vs India| T20 WC - Final | Jo’burg| 24/9/07 | Pak Inns

[Mercenary]

Pakistan need 158 to win the inaugral T20 World Cup.

This is the same ground that they chased down 164 to beat Australia and the Indian bowling attack isn't on a par with the Australian one.

But this isn't an ordinary match.

This is a World Cup final and India will be playing with 'pressure' as their 12th man.

Will 'runs on the baord' prove to be a match winner or will Pakistan hold their nerve to record a historic win!

This is Pakistan's biggest chance to beat India in the most important World Cup match played between the two teams.

But who will choke?

 

[12thMan]

on this ground WI made 200 got chased by SA. Australia made 164 got chased by Pakistan.

Pakistan has to see off first 5 overs. Players on the field

 

[Hash]

This is it people.

And I'm off to my TV. See you in a bit.

 

[the_game]

Hold your nerves Pakistan, and go away with the trophy.

 

[Salman]

Time to shine.. Inshallah, We can put an end to India WC hold over us once and for all...

PAKISTAN ZINDABAAD!

 

[Easa]

This is the moment of my life. Come on Pakistan, you just HAVE to win this one..

 

[cricketcrazy]

i think so v should open with yasir nothing to loose

 

[in_cutter]

Yasir Arafat spoiled it a bit with those full tosses

 

[Plasma]

we should get this, Afridi needs to opne, he can ease the pressure with quick 30/40...

 

[lahori@denmark]

indian bowlers training for bowl out again

 

[inzidabest]

just bat sensibly. gambhir showed how runs can be made on this pitch

 

[kablooee87]

hold your nerve boys. Hold your nerve.

 

[Gunner786]

we struggled to chase down 140odd against india and their bowling attack is even better now than last week

 

[12thMan]

Nazir and Hafeez to open

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Yeah it's definitely 10-15 runs below par.

 

[kablooee87]

*breaks down and cries*

 

[kasoo10]

Good idea to hold Afridi. Since the ball is not really coming onto the bat.

 

[pak4life]

we just need one player to score a fifty odd im backing younis today

 

[Bobaran]

Hafeez single 1/0

 

[asifp]

thats it , RP Sing has been Indians best bowler, watch him carefully.

Nazir please no crazy shots first 2-3 balls

 

[SUPERSAMI]

come on pak!!!!!!!!!!

 

[pak4life]

we struggled to chase down 140odd against india and their bowling attack is even better now than last week

that was a night game in durban. this is a flat pitch most of their bowlers are swing bowlers and we have hardly seen any swing today.

 

[asifp]

we just need one player to score a fifty odd im backing younis today

you mean Younu s

 

[Cricket Fan]

Come on Boys u can do it!

 

[dirk diggler]

steady start, 'normal' strokes

 

[dirk diggler]

must keepin turning over the strike like the Indians did

 

[Mo.]

India not allowing Pakistan to take quick singles

 

[Mo.]

Edged and gone. Hafeez out

 

[kablooee87]

tame start.

 

[Hari Sombar]

And Gone Rp You Beauty !!!!!

 

[the_game]

The small boundaries will be a great advantage for Pakistan. Just need to not lose too many wickets at the start, and we will be set Inshallah.

 

[asifp]

we should hope for 40 from India's 5th bowler

 

[Easa]

Hafeez gone for 1! 2/1, that is a crucial crucial wicket..

 

[Disco_Lemonade]

hafeez gone.. 2/1

But who will choke?

Who will choke: me! I'm chokingly nervous and it's only a short-version of the one-day game, so will go do some work.

Oh, no. Hafeez is out. Drat. I'm off and out.

 

[dirk diggler]

great captaincy from dhoni, fielder placed perfectly

 

[Sheikh]

hold your nerve boys. Hold your nerve.

This is where the ''I'm a nervous'' wreck begins to kick in.

Hafeez throws his wicket away. Bad start already.

 

[Oxy]

The start we all dreaded

 

[asifp]

Hafeez !!! , what were you doing , guiding the ball straight to slip

 

[tauseefm]

damn hafeez, goneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee..

what the hell he was doing.. come on pakistan don't play with fear

 

[waqar_ahmad]

[Oxy]

Kami comes in at 3

 

[Disco_Lemonade]

akmal in.. i cant say its a good move

 

[Mo.]

Kamran??? Why? We need someone solid like Younis

 

[Cricket Fan]

hafeez gone. 2 for 1

 

[waqar_ahmad]

its all nerves.

 

[the_game]

Younis, come on big boy. We need your composure badly today.

 

[Easa]

Why does Akmal keep coming in at 3? That is NOT the position for him in my opinion..

 

[Amjid Javed]

Once again Pak off to a lame start!

ffs!

 

[Oxy]

That was catching practice for slips the way he guided it!

4-1 off 1

 

[kablooee87]

Why does Akmal keep coming in at 3? That is NOT the position for him in my opinion..

Pakistan trying to surprise India.

 

[dirk diggler]

hafeez has a mare of a final

 

[asifp]

yaar I hope we continue to play positive cricket , if there is one thing we can learn from Australia its to play your natural game no matter what

 

[Plasma]

[Disco_Lemonade]

[dirk diggler]

[SameerAhmad]

Expected that from Hafeez, I gotta say...too much pressure for the guy..Cmon Pakistan, lets get a good start here, the middle order can sort the rest.

 

[Oxy]

Imran spanks Sreesanths 1st ball over covers for 4
