India vs Pakistan - An Electrifying Finish

The Twenty20 games witnessed a tie last night in a very interesting match that was played India v/s Pakistan.

Fears of a wash out loomed large as rains disrupted the beginning of the . The previous days game between India and Scotland had been lost to rains. But the game started shortly without any change in the number of overs to be played.

Tension could be felt in the air as Pakistan matched India's total of 141 in the last over. In the last ball, Pakistan needed only 1 run to win.

Wow! the pressure. I considered it more probable that Mashib-ul-Haq would get that run. But, still the Indian side was not willing to let go. Sreesanth's last delivery, Mashib tried to hit, but could not hit hard enough, stil he ran only to be run-out by Sreesanth at the bowler's end.

Then came the bowl out. Indian bowlers scored on each of the 3 balls bowled, but none of the Pakistani bowlers were able to strike the stumps.

Cricket is not interesting like footbal. It takes a lot of time and tends to get boring at times.
