INDIA VS PAKISTAN WORLD CUP 2011 SEMI FINAL HD 1080P
Transcript
00:00The biggest crowns in India, but it sure is bursting with energy today.
00:04Welcome everybody to the highlights of this fascinating contest between India and Pakistan
00:09in the semi-final of the 2011 World Cup.
00:14The news is that Mahendra Singh Dhoni won the toss and chose to bat first.
00:17That's the Indian side. So strong at the top of the order.
00:21The decision to play Ashes Nira is the only controversial one there instead of R. Ashwin.
00:26But Nira has great skill when he's on song.
00:29Pakistan have that great variety in their bowling and great depth in their batting.
00:34I think India begin the match as favourites.
00:36Varenda Sebag taking guard and as always will play the first ball.
00:41Absolutely, yes. He's a wonderful batsman.
00:44Sachin Tendulkar, I mean, words can't describe his genius.
00:50He's at the non-striker's aim.
00:52Play to begin.
00:55Here goes Margul.
00:57Varenda Sebag on strike.
00:59First runs on the ball.
01:06Magnificent cover drive from Varenda Sebag.
01:10Struck on the up.
01:12First boundary of the game.
01:16That's in the air.
01:17Four runs on the onside.
01:19Mentioned earlier, very little margin for error when you're bowling to this field.
01:22More runs on the offside.
01:28This time a risky flick.
01:29The result the same.
01:30Again, nicely placed and timed.
01:37Exquisite timing here from Sebag.
01:40Third boundary of the over.
01:41This time for the offside, slower delivery.
01:47He waited on it.
01:48And it gets the fourth boundary of the over.
01:51So, Varenda Sebag on a roll.
01:57Sebag takes the aerial route.
01:59One bounce over the rope.
02:00Oh, that's beautifully done.
02:05That's gone for another four.
02:11Loud shout here.
02:12The finger has gone up.
02:12Well, Sebag has asked for the review.
02:18Yeah, that is considered as being fished within the zone.
02:23Wickets hitting.
02:24Original decision is out.
02:26And Sebag is out.
02:30He's nicely tucked that away.
02:32And this might actually go to the ropes.
02:34Tremendous timing.
02:37Real touch play on that occasion from Thendulkar.
02:39He's found the gap.
02:43This is going to be another boundary.
02:46Square drive.
02:51Oh, what's happening here?
02:53Ian Gould raises the finger.
02:55One review has been taken already.
02:57India has just the one Thendulkar.
02:59Unlike Sebag conferring with his partner.
03:03Slightly down the pitch was Thendulkar.
03:05And that is something he'll talk about with Gautam Gambhir.
03:08And they've gone for a review.
03:16Is that ball going on to hit the stump?
03:18Wickets missing.
03:19Now that has come as a huge relief.
03:21And you can hear the cheer in the background.
03:24They've seen it on the giant screen.
03:25They've seen the green.
03:30Gotcha.
03:30Safe.
03:32It's a little chip and it might even be four.
03:38Oh, yes.
03:39Brilliant.
03:40Lovely flight.
03:42To win a battle of spin against Gautam Gambhir is a good performance.
03:46Well, he goes over the top this time.
03:54I don't know whether that's what he was trying to do the previous time when he was dropped at short extra cover.
04:01But this time he goes over extra cover and it brings up Thendulkar's half century.
04:05Fifty up for Satchindulkar.
04:12Oh, that's beautifully bowled.
04:14There's evidence of that swing.
04:16It's taken a leading edge.
04:18Kohli looking to work the ball on the leg side.
04:20The edge has flown to backward point.
04:22Pakistan have their third wicket.
04:24Kohli goes for nine.
04:27India, 141 for three.
04:31Oh, bowled him.
04:32It's fast and it's swinging in.
04:34And it's knocked back Yavraj's middle stump first ball.
04:39What a delivery from young Bahab Rehaaz.
04:42The reverse swing.
04:46Three for 13 so far.
04:47Yavraj Singh departs.
04:49A very rare failure for him in this World Cup.
04:54Five shot inside out and into the gap.
05:00Very intentional from Thendulkar.
05:06And this one is out.
05:07Sachin Thendulkar has caught an extra cover.
05:11The dream is over for the day.
05:14Don't rely on anybody else, skipper.
05:17Do it yourself.
05:19Thendulkar gone for 85, 187 for five.
05:24That's another appeal for LVWO that works for Bahab Rehaaz.
05:29He's gone straight for the side screen.
05:40And he'll get four runs.
05:42Suresh Rana starting to flex his muscles here.
05:47It's another full toss.
05:48That's a boundary from Suresh Rana.
05:49Suresh Rana can be a dangerous player.
05:53This left hander.
05:57And that's worked.
06:01Suresh Rana has picked up a wicket.
06:04They were going so well.
06:09But he lost his touch.
06:10One for 12, 236 for seven.
06:17Wonderful shot.
06:19Suresh Rana getting some priceless runs here for India.
06:23256 for seven.
06:24And in fact, there's an appeal.
06:30The finger goes up.
06:31Zaire Khan walks.
06:33And Bahab Rehaaz has got five wickets.
06:39He's just a bit too good.
06:41And this could be a run out.
06:42Ashish Naira struggling.
06:43So, it's another dot ball here.
06:48But for the final ball of the innings,
06:50will be Suresh Rana on strike.
06:52So, started late.
06:53He was admiring his shot.
06:55And then he started to run.
06:57And even here,
06:59did not even make an effort to dive.
07:03So, nine wickets out for 258.
07:09Here we go.
07:10Last ball of the innings.
07:12Suresh Rana has played that down to long off.
07:16Is that going to finish in a boundary?
07:17Has he touched the rope there?
07:18A bit too close.
07:20Mohamed Hafiz.
07:21The batsmen have run two.
07:23And Simon Toffel might just want to confirm that feeling.
07:27In fact, he won.
07:27So, that will be two runs.
07:33Impossible to know what par is.
07:35Maybe 250.
07:36Possibly 260.
07:37India got there thanks to Suresh Rana.
07:40A tremendous performance from him.
07:41On the back of that sparkling start by Varenda Sovag.
07:44Sachin Tendulkar will never forget that innings.
07:47Dropped four times.
07:48But still, he managed to put a meaningful score on the board.
07:51And you think that India will take some shaking off.
07:53Cameron Akmal will be on strike.
07:56Mohamed Hafiz is out there with him and with me in the commentary box.
07:59Sonny Gervais and Masim Akram.
08:02Judge to cover mid-off.
08:04Here we go.
08:05And there he goes.
08:07Beautifully into position.
08:08And this is a quick outfield.
08:11And Cameron Akmal starts with a boundary.
08:13What a lovely way to get going.
08:17Beautiful straight drive.
08:20Gorgeous start to this run chase from Cameron Akmal.
08:22Well, it's eight for Nowak.
08:29That finds the gap.
08:31Sweet timing from Pakistan.
08:34Great shot.
08:34He's whipped that away on the onside.
08:40That's going to be another boundary.
08:43This is quality cricket here from Pakistan.
08:46It's up in the air.
08:47Straight to Yudraksing.
08:49I think it's at point.
08:51And they've got their first breakthrough, the Indians.
08:55To pick up crucial wickets.
08:56And he's done so again here.
08:58It's the angle that caused the problem on this occasion.
09:01A simple catch for Yavraj.
09:03And India will hope that their catching is much better than Pakistan's.
09:09That's hit into the gap.
09:10And gets past the field up for four.
09:14It's a good shot by Hafiz.
09:21That's a short ball that gets the treatment.
09:23Ample time to rock back and punch it through the offside.
09:29No, he's gone here.
09:30But Dhoni has taken the catch.
09:33And this is a poor shot.
09:34He'll be very disappointed.
09:37Now that he tries to play one of those build scoops to a ball well outside the offstop.
09:43Dhoni makes no mistake.
09:48Looking to use his feet.
09:49He gets it in the gap.
09:50You can be there, boy, again.
10:04103 for three.
10:07Just showing him where to walk.
10:10As a chapitre's fighting innings comes to an end.
10:12Out, out, Yavraj Singh has got the Punjab going now.
10:25Maybe he's got India on the road to Mumbai.
10:27Good shot.
10:36Good positive blow there from Omar Akmal.
10:38Good use of the feet.
10:40And no half measures.
10:46McDepp is on strike for six.
10:48Short ball.
10:48But extremely well put away by young Omar Akmal.
10:53Now this will release a little bit of the pressure.
10:59There he goes.
11:00A magnificent strike for six.
11:05That's what Pakistan need to do.
11:10Hit beautifully over the screen.
11:13That's the best place to hit.
11:14Oh, yes!
11:19Oh, I told him.
11:20What a delivery from Harbhajan Singh.
11:22Around the wicket.
11:23First ball.
11:25An inspired bowling change.
11:27And he's gone through the defense of Omar Akmal.
11:31Pushed it for Omar Akmal.
11:34Beaten for pace.
11:36Hurried on to him.
11:38And a short innings for Pakistan comes to an end.
11:4229 of 24 deliveries.
11:44Bowling.
11:48Dream delivery from Munapater.
11:51Razak looks shell-shocked.
11:56And there again, there's the Lekker.
11:57He's playing down the wrong line.
12:00Completely deceived by that.
12:03Just needs one innings to change the momentum.
12:07Maybe this is the start of it.
12:08It's high, but it isn't handsome.
12:14It's the end of Afridi.
12:17It beggars belief that it's happened.
12:18Good boy, has that got India going from top to toe.
12:24Well, these are bizarre tactics.
12:27Afridi is gone after playing a good little innings of 19, but just not good enough on the day.
12:33184 for seven.
12:34Oh, that surely will be caught by Sachin Tendulkar.
12:41Oh, yes.
12:42Yes, yes, yes.
12:43Yes.
12:43You fear that India are bringing down the curtain on Pakistan's challenge.
12:51India two wickets away from a place in a World Cup final.
12:54It's 199 for eight.
12:58Well, outside of Stamble, most exclusively.
13:01Oh, how about that for an LBW?
13:03Ho, ho, ho.
13:06He doesn't get much wrong, Mr. Taufel.
13:09So Pakistan will indeed refer it, and we'll find out whether he got this one right or wrong.
13:14Therefore, Simon Taufel is proved right again.
13:30And there's a fabulous stroke, making room, and the beauty of a power play for the batsman.
13:39Oh, that's a gem.
13:41What a fabulous strike that is.
13:44There's a man back at Mid-Arm, he can do nothing about that.
13:50A glorious straight six.
13:52And still Pakistan have hope here.
13:5550 for Misbah, who's striking the ball quite brilliantly.
14:02Oh, that's gone miles in the air.
14:05Miles in the air, and it's caught.
14:08India have won.
14:10A place in the World Cup final is theirs.
14:13Let the party begin.
14:18Have a look at those scenes.
14:20It's simply magnificent.
14:22Match watched by the two prime ministers.
14:24And you had all sorts here.
14:28Politicians, bureaucrats, heavyweight corporates, and people from all sections of society.
14:36And they've enjoyed a tremendous contest here.
14:39A big-ticket game that's really gone the way of the home team.
14:46So India go to Mumbai to play against Sri Lanka.
14:49And what a match that will be.
14:50It'll be the first time where you have two Asian teams playing in a World Cup final.
14:56And a little bit like the Pakistan performance in the field.
15:06So the performance with the bat was flawed.
15:08Too costly.
15:09231 in the end.
15:11There was nothing that Misbah-ul-Haq could do.
15:14The Indian bowlers did all that they had to do.
15:16Just the five views.
15:17That would have pleased Dhoni.
15:19Two wickets for each of them.
15:20Zaheer Khan reliable as ever.
15:22A tremendous performance from Munaf Patel today.
15:25And Harbourjan most effective with his off-breaks.
15:29So we know all about the final of the World Cup of 2011.
15:33In this semi-final, India have beaten Pakistan by 29 runs.
15:37It means that they play Sri Lanka in Mumbai on Saturday.
15:41Goodbye from us all.
