00:59And, Wahseem, whenever you throw these two teams together, you get fireworks.
01:05It doesn't matter where you play.
01:07Either you play in India, either you play in Pakistan, South Africa, England, or maybe Canada.
01:13It's a packed house.
01:14And one thing for sure, it will be a great game.
01:18Both teams will be fighting.
01:19And hopefully Pakistan is over from their tiredness.
01:22They traveled for a couple of days, arrived and played the game.
01:27Pakistan, Pakistan's opening batsman, Ahmad Shahzad, 17 years of age, born in Lahore, plays for Lahore.
01:41And his opening partner is Shahzeb Hassan from Karachi, 19 years of age.
01:49Here we go.
01:54Karabin Kumar, who gets the ball to wobble around a bit, 22 years of age.
02:02He's got skill with this ball.
02:05But the white ball, we've noticed even in this week, was, does not swing as much as the red ball
02:11in England.
02:12Just in England, I think.
02:13And the other way around, if you play in Australia or Pakistan or India, but in England, for some odd
02:17reason, it doesn't swing as much as the red, like you said.
02:20But there is a bit of swing, nicely played by Ahmed Shahzad.
02:25He was played against Australia, played good couple of knocks, 40-odd.
02:30But again, talent is very much there.
02:32And I've heard a lot of good things of Shahzeb.
02:35I haven't seen him play, but I was talking with Akib Javed.
02:38And he was all praise for this youngster.
02:44Oh, that's a wild one from Kumar.
02:48It's going to be a wide...
02:51There's a few nerves at their end.
03:00A bit of the adrenaline flowing in the wrong direction for Praveen Kumar.
03:06It's all very well to get psyched up and fired up, but you've got to keep to the job in
03:11hand.
03:28There was no footwork whatsoever after the bouncer.
03:32He's stood in the crease and nicely bowled Shahzeb Hussain goes without scoring.
03:36Pakistan 2-for-1.
03:42Kamran Akmal batting at 3 for Pakistan.
03:45The very versatile wicketkeeper batsman.
03:50And we're seeing this is one player in this Pakistan team.
03:53If he stays around long enough, he can do some damage.
03:56He can.
03:57He's a very experienced player as well.
03:58But you see, Pakistan team have to just decide in this game what batting court are they going to go
04:03with to start off with.
04:04Especially the first four.
04:05You can't just change a round in first five to eight overs.
04:09They have to decide what they're going to do.
04:12So that's what they're trying.
04:17Slapped away.
04:19And that'll run away for four.
04:25First boundary of the match.
04:266-1 from the first over.
04:33Good start.
04:35There's good length into the gap.
04:36Probably will go all the way.
04:37There's a fielder there.
04:38Third man.
04:40He hasn't been able to stop that one.
04:43So another boundary for Pakistan.
04:47On the leg side.
04:49Dropped.
04:50Harbhajan.
04:53It's all happening.
04:55Went straight to Harbhajan.
04:57Who's such a good fielder and a safe hands.
05:00But under pressure you can crumble.
05:03And drop that catch.
05:04Very important one too.
05:11Well, those who've got to take.
05:13And it's on the big screen.
05:14And the Pakistan fans.
05:18Are cheering with delight.
05:22Good looking shot.
05:24Just caressed away down to Pravin Kumar for one.
05:35Two umpires.
05:36Asad Ralf.
05:37From Pakistan.
05:42Asad and his rather taller partner.
05:45Billy Docter.
05:46From the West Indies.
05:49Standing in this match.
05:50The Oval in London.
05:54Wide hammered away.
05:55It's another chase for Pravin Kumar.
05:57This time he's not going to dive.
06:00It's a wide delivery.
06:02And it was an invite.
06:03To hit it for four.
06:05I think bowlers have to learn quickly.
06:07It's not going to swing as much.
06:09It was swinging in South Africa.
06:11Over here.
06:12Anything outside of Stump.
06:13Will be punished.
06:19And outfield is lightning fast.
06:21Anything into the gap.
06:22Will go for the boundary.
06:25Shahzad is in 12 of 7.
06:27And Akmal is 5.
06:29Of only 2 deliveries he's faced.
06:37Short.
06:38And it's gone.
06:40Magnificent shot by the 17 year old.
06:47Shahzad.
06:488 deliveries.
06:50He's got 16.
06:51Strike rate.
06:52200.
06:55Still to come.
06:56Yunus Khan.
06:57The captain.
06:57Mizbah Ulhak.
07:00He's Kumar.
07:02It's short of a length as well.
07:04And it's gone square in the lakeside.
07:06It's another boundary.
07:08Pakistan are flailing India's bowlers.
07:16Oh.
07:17That's a poor piece of building.
07:22That was a poor piece of fielding by the Indians.
07:28Then looking a bit tired.
07:31Uvraj was the fielder I reckon.
07:35Down the pitch he goes.
07:37Look at this.
07:39He is riding on a sea of confidence.
07:47Oh my goodness.
07:52Who is this boy?
08:01You can have four more.
08:03It's a full toss.
08:05And it's four more for Pakistan.
08:11This is good.
08:12This is better.
08:13Oh.
08:13Oh, he's gone.
08:15Magnificent fielding.
08:30Suarez Reiner with a magnificent piece of swooping in the covers.
08:36And Akmal is gone.
08:38And Pakistan have lost their second.
08:40Akmal 19.
08:41Pakistan 45.
08:45Shahid Afridi has been sent in by Yunus Khan.
08:51Shahid Afridi, the 29-year-old for Pakistan.
08:56Maybe the call.
08:58They couldn't hear the call.
08:59But it was a wonderful piece of fielding.
09:01Here's Rishat.
09:02Short has gone up in the air.
09:03It's going to be another wicket.
09:04Has to be a catch.
09:07And Isshant has got the Midas touch for India.
09:13Shahid has gone.
09:15And it's an over that has changed things for India.
09:24Shahid's 25.
09:26Pakistan 45 for three.
09:32So a different complexion on this match.
09:34As Yunus Khan, the Pakistan captain, comes to the middle.
09:39Pakistan started quite brilliantly.
09:41But India pulled it back well.
09:43So Irfan Pathan to continue.
09:49Brilliant.
09:51Yes, Mahidra Singh Dhodi has latched on to that one.
09:53Shahid Afridi.
09:54First goal.
09:56Irfan Pathan getting the outside edge.
09:58And what a good catch from the Indian captain.
10:04This match is living up to expectations, I must say, for sure.
10:12Shahid Afridi gone for zero.
10:13Pakistan 45 for four.
10:19I just felt that there was that extra effort made by Mahidra Singh Dhodi going for that catch.
10:24Considering the importance of that wicket brings the former Pakistan captain, Shahid Malik, to the crease.
10:32Shot delivery pulled away nicely.
10:35Good start for Shahid Malik.
10:40It's a top stroke.
10:41Shahid Malik into position quickly.
10:43Executing the full shot to perfection.
10:47Very noisy oval at the moment.
10:54Beautiful shot again.
10:56Shahid Malik looks in good touch.
11:00A couple of deliveries to go before.
11:02He was on to the back foot very quickly and played a beautiful full shot.
11:06This time on the front foot.
11:09Equally good positioning.
11:11Very good weight transfer through the ball.
11:16Excellent timing.
11:23Gone.
11:24I think he's gloved it.
11:26Yeah.
11:27Billy Doctor raises the finger.
11:28Another good catch for Mahidra Singh Dhoni and Pragyano just struck.
11:3363 for five Pakistan.
11:37And Shahid Malik is looking good.
11:40He's walking back on 14.
11:47Now with a lot of experience.
11:51Late entrant into international cricket.
11:56Formidable player.
11:59Pragyanoja getting that wicket of Shahid Malik.
12:01Just a little bit of bounce.
12:03Shahid Malik playing under it.
12:05Because the ball was pushed through.
12:08Didn't expect the bounce perhaps.
12:10Only takes another good catch.
12:30He's out for leg before.
12:32Let's see what the umpire says here.
12:34Yeah.
12:34It's off the pads.
12:45There.
12:46That's the first big attempt.
12:49And I think it's six.
12:51It's landed on the rope.
12:53To signal boundary.
12:54I'd like to take another look at it to see whether it bounced a couple of inches inside.
13:02He picked that spot nicely.
13:04The ball is not turning.
13:05So he went aerial towards mid-wicket.
13:08We'll have a look.
13:09How he went all the way.
13:23I think we've seen the start of another one.
13:26Just inside.
13:28To one of the longest boundaries.
13:36Oh, he must have gone.
13:39Yes.
13:40Finger comes up.
13:41It's a stumping.
13:44Billy Doctrove has given it from square leg.
13:47Yunus Khan.
13:48Pakistan's captain is out stumped.
13:51Smart piece of stumping by Mahindra Sinhoni.
13:55India's flags are hoisted aloft.
13:59Khan goes for 32.
14:001-1-3 for 6.
14:01Pakistan.
14:07Pakistan, 113 for 6.
14:09Remember they were 45 for 1 in the 4th over.
14:15Yassir Arafat.
14:23Just that extra pace, a bit of bounce.
14:29Here's Arafat.
14:35Here's Arafat.
14:46Here's Arafat.
14:49Here's Reina again.
14:55Aziz couldn't get to this one in time.
15:05He's caught hold of this and it's going to be wide of long arm.
15:09It's a boundary that Pakistan need.
15:15Good batting by Yassir Arafat.
15:17This time, he jumped outside leg stump.
15:19And R.P. Singh followed him.
15:22The second boundary over mid-wicket.
15:25It was a well-struck boundary as well.
15:29The one bounce four.
15:30He's got 19 or 13.
15:31So it's an excellent effort.
15:42Arafat has taken his tally to 19 from 13 deliveries.
15:47Last ball of the 19th.
15:49Oh, he's helped it on his way.
15:51He'll get another four.
15:52Oh, that was absolutely delightful.
15:55An expensive over.
15:5715 from it.
15:58We've got one to go.
16:01Arafat finishes on 25.
16:04Misbah-ul-Haq on 37.
16:06And Pakistan have put 158 on the board.
16:08That is challenging.
16:14Mahindra Singh Thoney.
16:16Harbhajan Singh, he bowled beautifully.
16:21R.P. Singh got a bit of stick.
16:23Harbhajan Singh, three overs.
16:24None for 33.
16:27You'll have better days.
16:28This is the Pakistan card with the young Ahmed Shahzad, 25.
16:33Shahzaih Hassan went first.
16:35First over for naught.
16:36Kraman Akmal, 19 from 9.
16:39Shahid Afridi, first ball.
16:40Yunus Khan, 32.
16:42Shobhmalik, 14.
16:43And Misbah-ul-Haq, Yasser Arafat, 37 and 25.
16:471.58 for 6.
16:49Pravin Kumar, one for 32 in three.
16:51Harbhajan Singh, expensive.
16:53None for 33 in three.
16:55Irfan, one for 18.
16:57One for 11 in three.
16:59Aishan Sharma.
17:00Harbhajan Singh, four overs, one for 27.
17:03Paghjan Uja, one for 18 in three.
17:06Right out come the Indian opening batsman.
17:09Once again, makeshift, Roy Sharma, because Virenda Saiwag is still unfit, along with the man India desperately need to produce
17:15some runs.
17:16Gautam Gambir.
17:17Cheers as they come out.
17:18In the commentary box, Sanjay Mandzrik are in couple of vessels.
17:24Gautam Gambir owes India a few runs.
17:27Hasn't been in the best of form in the last couple of months, but very effective when he plays well.
17:32Particularly in combination with Virenda Saiwag, the left-right in combination at the top of the Indian order, is very
17:39effective in this form of the game.
17:48Amazing to see the transition on the field with the lights burning.
17:51Suddenly it's nice and bright.
17:54This again emphasizes the importance of technology and artificial lights.
18:02It's now pretty cool out there.
18:05Gautam Gambir got a few runs in that last game, but just couldn't quite get going.
18:11Again, wasn't looking in the best of form.
18:17It's nothing that one good score can't rectify or put right, but this guy kept looking, he looked incredible in
18:25that last warm-up game.
18:27Some terrific shots played, opened the innings, made some great shots.
18:31He's an excellent player.
18:35Dangerous when he gets going.
18:38He's also pretty good towards the latter part of the innings.
18:42Particularly over the leg side.
18:44Very strong leg side player.
18:46So Yunus Khan, he'd be happy with his form.
18:48He batted pretty well for Pakistan.
18:49Played a real captain's innings.
18:53So Umar Ghul, he's going to start the proceedings.
18:59The target for India, 159 to win.
19:04Whatever games we've seen so far, warm-up matches, I just feel like it's slightly above par.
19:12Yasir Arafat and this ball hook may have just put that score a little out of reach here.
19:18Dautam Gambhir on strike.
19:19Umar Ghul with the ball.
19:21Nicely timed, quite beautifully timed before.
19:24What a start for India.
19:30He's gone over the top, using his feet.
19:34He's taken on Umar Ghul.
19:37And he succeeded in getting a boundary.
19:40One over gone, it's 10 for no wicket.
19:48Oh, Gambhir wants a single.
19:49This could be dangerous.
19:52He almost reached the other end, Gambhir.
20:01Misunderstanding, it was Gambhir's call.
20:03But there really wasn't a single in this one, because Shama would have been running to the danger end.
20:12Yunus Khan just calming things down.
20:23Again, the same area where he picked up the first boundary.
20:28So the full-length delivery.
20:30Slightly off-line enough for Gambhir to pick up another boundary.
20:38That's where Roy Sharma has been dangerous when he opens the batting for India.
20:44He dispatches the good balls for Forbes.
20:48Excellent stroke.
20:49Not much wrong with the delivery.
20:51Just short of a good length.
20:54Around about middle and off stumped.
20:58Sharma using his feet, coming down the pitch.
21:00Keeping his head still beautifully.
21:09There he goes, Roy Sharma.
21:13He's gone comfortably over the ropes.
21:17He's been in that kind of form here in England.
21:21Terrific stroke, but it was in the slot.
21:23It has to be said.
21:24Again, just too much leg side.
21:27Ideal length as well, if you're looking to that with intent during the initial overs.
21:33That's the length you're looking for.
21:44Sharma has chipped it, but he might have just got away with it.
21:49Was that a slightly slow ball, winners?
21:52Maybe it looks like it, but in the end he checked it short, paid it straight, went over the Madon
21:56fielder for two.
21:59But it was a very well disguised slow delivery by Yasir Arafat.
22:04With his pace, he has to vary his deliveries, I suppose.
22:08Otherwise, he will get hammered.
22:1287 balls, 108 to win.
22:1510 wickets in hand.
22:16Tempted Yorker.
22:17This probably will go all the way.
22:18Another boundary.
22:19He's been very expensive, Yasir Arafat.
22:2410 from the over already.
22:27100 runs required from 82 deliveries.
22:3210 wickets in hand.
22:33We've got a perfect start here.
22:35Shot.
22:38He's going to run away for four.
22:40He's got enough bat on that, Rohit Sharma.
22:43It's too short to a man like Rohit when he's in this form.
22:51He was, he's on 35 of 24 deliveries.
22:54They were shot, he followed the batsman, but he wasn't enough bounce in the delivery that he could have gone
23:00up in the air.
23:01So he played nicely between the cab.
23:03It didn't really, though.
23:04But it doesn't matter as long as they come.
23:14All problems here.
23:15There must be a wicket.
23:17Oh, Billy Dr. Ove says no.
23:24India.
23:26Get let off.
23:2770 for no wicket from eight.
23:35But then come here, Yunus Khan, have a look here.
23:45Directed to what had been done the trick here.
23:48But he's just made it.
23:53In by inches.
23:55And that was a good call by umpire Billy Dockdrove.
24:03Well, what a wonderful decision that was by Billy Dockdrove.
24:06He only has one look at it.
24:09And he said not out.
24:11And he was right.
24:15Yeah, Shahid should have gone for the direct hit at this stage of the game.
24:19Pakistan do need a wicket to put India under pressure.
24:28He's got it through.
24:29And it'll be a boundary.
24:33It was slightly short, but Gautam is such a good pair of spin bowling.
24:37He didn't make any mistake.
24:39Picked up the gap perfectly.
24:42Another boundary to him.
24:44The fourth one.
24:45It was a quicker delivery, but he picked it up nicely.
24:47He didn't middle it, but outfield is so fast.
24:49Anything like I mentioned earlier on into the gap will go to the boundary.
24:58Gautam Thambhir is so good at keeping the scoreboard ticking over.
25:02He just nicks a little run here, nips another one, and he adds to the frustration of the bowler.
25:07Yeah, they do, and Suhail Tanveer, I don't know how come he's not bowling.
25:11Maybe he's not part of the playing 11 for this tournament.
25:15But he has been the best bowler in T20 for Pakistan in the last couple of years.
25:219 overs gone, 80.
25:28Great shot.
25:29That really has flown off that bat.
25:31And Rohit Sharma turns it away with a disdainful click of the wrist.
25:3788 for no wicket from 10.
25:46He just seems to back himself to play shots like those.
25:49Oh, beautiful.
25:52The idea that defense can be offered to a ball is a bit alien at the moment.
25:59Very good stroke, good placement, and good timing.
26:03I suppose it's not a selection dilemma because they'll both play.
26:05But it's just a case of a tactical dilemma, perhaps, as to where Rohit Sharma shoot back.
26:13Well, both against New Zealand and here, he's just looked like he belongs there.
26:17He just seems to have the extra second to play the ball.
26:20So, I think, if Selvagh is fit, the question he'll ask himself is, who's better at five?
26:28The ball.
26:32What is that?
26:33Man, I'd be worried about the speed of some of my feathers.
26:41I haven't been put Pakistan in the field.
26:4550 for Rohit Sharma.
26:48Just 37 balls.
26:50He scarcely put a foot wrong.
26:53With perfectly good deliveries from some of the Pakistan bowlers.
26:57And they've just gone.
27:06Charging that mid-on boundary.
27:07That's short and that's maximum.
27:10Poor delivery by Shaya de Fruity.
27:12Took pace off him, but it was far too short.
27:15Rohit Sharma in this sort of form is not going to miss out on that.
27:20I wonder he pre-determined advancement short as well, thinking in here in the charge and pushed it short.
27:24It's interesting the way you called it a six long before it had got near the boundary.
27:30Just look that kind of shot.
27:32Now he's down the wicket.
27:34But he's going to fall short.
27:37This is such a big round.
27:39There's big spaces on it.
27:41They're running a third.
27:43If I was the Pakistan captain, I'd be very, very disappointed with that third run.
27:47That's pro fielding.
27:48There was never three there.
27:51It wasn't as if they really pushed hard for it either.
27:57The ball was near for a long time.
28:00That went out to the extra cover boundary.
28:04They're just ambling away and then running on the throw.
28:10Now they're going to look for a second here.
28:12Yes, they are.
28:12This is good running.
28:13Excellent running.
28:16I think Kevin has got a point.
28:18They weren't exactly sprinting for the third.
28:19They were aware that it existed.
28:21Just as on this occasion, the two was run very easily.
28:24That's where Gambhir really brings his contribution to the innings.
28:29Walking this at the moment, India.
28:35It's going to fall short again.
28:36Just a single.
28:39Still 12th of the over.
28:41He's first went for 10.
28:45Looking good, the Indians.
28:55He's picked that spot again.
28:57This time there's a field running in from the deep there.
29:0013th of the over.
29:02123 for no loss.
29:07He's just run a ball now.
29:09Just sense that India could have chased a bigger total maybe.
29:13Pakistan need a couple of bigots very quickly.
29:16This is the Kepler shot.
29:18Just loved it.
29:22It's not the longest boundary in that area,
29:24but look at how much he's cleared it.
29:26It's not a Mickey Mouse six.
29:27It's a big one.
29:36I know he's finished a lot of innings,
29:37but this is, in terms of fluency,
29:38the best innings I've seen him play.
29:48In the gap before.
29:50Does he have a map in his head or what?
29:53Lots of time again for Robert Sharma.
29:55The delivery was short.
29:57The three fielders patrolling that leg side boundary,
30:00but he bisected them with ease.
30:07Hardly ever hit to a fielder.
30:12We just took it away from the fielder too.
30:20Two at a daughter.
30:26Now 30 to win from 34 balls.
30:28If they continue like this,
30:29they're going to win with a couple of overs left.
30:35Exactly the sort of performance that India needed
30:38from a confidence point of view
30:40to take into the main event.
30:44And he'll get another boundary there.
30:47Almost as an afterthought.
30:50He's decking away to make room.
30:52The shot was an afterthought,
30:54and the shot was a boundary.
30:55This is batting off a very, very high caliber.
31:01Very good shot selection.
31:02Shahab Malik tossed that one up
31:04wide outside Ostap to try and stop
31:07Rohit Sharma hitting through the leg side.
31:10But he was equal to the task.
31:15He bats like this.
31:16The world is his oyster, really.
31:22Single down the ground.
31:24He's gone up to 80.
31:26And we've seen in recent times
31:28that scores of 80-85 are rare.
31:34This 80 has been achieved with great ease.
31:38Some breath-taking shots.
31:39You never got the feeling he's throwing his bat at the ball.
31:44Oh, delicate.
31:51Combined extremely well, these two.
31:53Gottengambiyeh and Rayad Sharma.
31:59They're trying with the bowling now.
32:00The goal is set.
32:01It's a big round.
32:02There's lots of tools available on it.
32:05I've just found to be fair.
32:07I haven't filled it well at all.
32:08They've had their moments.
32:09At the start of the innings and then towards the end.
32:14Another big goal of 14 from it.
32:16It's 1.37.
32:23This is up in the air.
32:24Probably, he's a fielder under it.
32:28There's a great catch by Amish Shahzad.
32:30He is also one of the best fielders in Pakistan.
32:34Finally, they've got the breakthrough.
32:36Rohit Sharma departs.
32:49That fielder at mid-on inside the circle was a huge temptation for Rohit Sharma.
32:53Yeah, he was looking to go straight.
32:56Just to miss it.
32:57And this is a good catch.
32:58It was in the air for a long, long time.
33:00He was almost running behind.
33:03Ran about 15 yards to his right.
33:06And in the end, taking a good catch.
33:11Terrific innings.
33:12Just following up on that sparkling inning that he played at Lord's.
33:15Where I thought he would be played even better shots than he did in this innings.
33:19But this one, of course, from sheer value and the stage.
33:23Better innings.
33:24Mahindra Singh Dhoni, the captain, batting at number three.
33:37This is a great shot by Dhoni.
33:40He just walked in.
33:41He was facing his second delivery.
33:43Slightly outside of stone when he was at it in a flash.
33:49Well, I think the Indians are trying to make a strong statement here.
33:52They want to finish this game off early.
33:54They've set a stiff target.
33:56They've just lost the one wicket and Dhoni's not going to hang around, it seems.
34:01It wasn't a bad ball.
34:02Just a little bit of width.
34:05Back foot extra cover drive.
34:06It was always a special shot.
34:09I mentioned Akib Javadi is the man there.
34:13In the center of your screen to his right in the Ka Balam.
34:24A short pitch delivery and wide call.
34:27And rightly so, he's over the head of the batsman.
34:31Eleven requires from 22 balls.
34:34Three and over.
34:36India is cruising in this particular game against Pakistan.
34:40Gautam on 47 or 43 to the wrist.
34:45Strike rate of 109.3.
34:50Important innings for Gautam Gambhir too.
34:53Slightly short of confidence coming into this event.
35:00Another short ball.
35:02And it's a no ball first before it can be
35:07called a wide or thought about as a wide.
35:10Got a happy face at the bowling coach
35:12with so many extras.
35:14This was unnecessary.
35:16He bowled a bouncer first.
35:17That was a wide ball.
35:18And second one bouncer.
35:19It's a no ball now.
35:22So he's still four balls to go
35:25and nine runs from this over so far.
35:31No Frid about this occasion.
35:44Sanity prevails with Umar Gold.
35:46My interesting Donny very keen to get to the striker's end.
35:49And what's more,
35:51things just getting worse for Pakistan.
35:54Four overthrows.
35:57So it Malik was the throw.
36:01And also brings up Gautam Gambhir's 50.
36:0550 of 45.
36:08It was unnecessary.
36:12But look at his own 51 of 45.
36:1515 dot balls, five boundaries.
36:17Factor to 1-1-3.
36:19He's back in form.
36:26Again, a fumble there.
36:28He's looking a little ragged, the Pakistanis.
36:30The supporters won't be too happy
36:32with the way they've been in the field.
36:33The batting also, in a way, was ragged.
36:36Very impressive.
36:37Put the pressure on the Indian straight away
36:39when the game started.
36:40Then just lost their way.
36:42Came back decently enough
36:43to set up a score of 150.
36:44But in the field,
36:46they've been disappointing.
36:49They need to compete
36:50with some of the better teams in the world.
36:55Just five runs needed.
36:59Last ball of the 17th over.
37:02What a shot this is.
37:04Mahindra Singh Dhoni
37:06stamping his class tool here.
37:10158 for one.
37:21Just one run needed now.
37:24With three overs to go.
37:26This is to be one of the most
37:28emphatic wins for India in P20.
37:31But this is, I repeat,
37:32an unapprecious game.
37:38It does matter if you win
37:39this practice match.
37:40It gives you confidence as a team.
37:42And Dhoni knew
37:43that he can't bowl bouncer.
37:46He tried a yoker.
37:48And Dhoni played it nicely
37:49with the straight
37:50bonus back drive
37:51for another boundary.
37:53All fielders,
37:54except one,
37:55saving the single.
37:56Wide.
37:56And I think that's
37:57perhaps an appropriate end
37:58to the match
37:59with the wide.
38:00Which has been the problem
38:02for Pakistan.
38:02So India win by nine wickets.
38:05Reaching the target
38:06quite comfortably.
38:08Roy Sharma was the star
38:09with the bad.
38:10Gambhir playing
38:10an important innings.
38:12And the captain joined in.
38:13He just finished the game.
38:19Pakistan can learn
38:20from their mistakes
38:21after the game.
38:22They have three, four days.
38:23They've got a first game
38:24on seventh.
38:25They can work on their fielding
38:27as well.
38:27And of course,
38:28on their extras.
38:29White balls and no balls.
38:31Aakib had to work hard
38:32and Khabar Alam as well.
38:35But they don't have enough time.
38:36They're going to do it quickly.
38:39India should be
38:40very satisfied
38:41with this performance.
38:42It's a warm-up game,
38:43but just the kind of atmosphere
38:44that we've had
38:45was as good as
38:47a very serious match.
38:49One of the main
38:50matches of the tournament.
38:51So that's the kind of stage
38:52that was set
38:53and India beat in Pakistan
38:56quite emphatically.
39:00Big crowd.
39:03Well, it wasn't
39:04a nail-biter
39:05as you so often
39:06see in a T20 game,
39:07but there was a lot
39:08of quality cricket
39:09seen.
39:11And it topped
39:12by Roy Sharma's innings.
39:18Time to get
39:19all those banners up.
39:31Like Sanjay mentioned,
39:33the Indian team
39:33must be very happy
39:34with their performance
39:35and satisfied.
39:36They won this
39:37hands down
39:38against Pakistan.
39:40No problem
39:41whatsoever.
39:41They looked calm.
39:42They looked comfortable.
39:46And on the other hand,
39:47Pakistan team
39:48looked very rusty.
39:49Looked out of practice
39:50as well.
39:51A few bright spots
39:52in the Pakistan team
39:54would be Mizbah-ul-Haq's
39:57innings.
39:58I think Yasser Arafat
40:00also was quite good
40:01there.
40:02But I think
40:03Roy Sharma
40:04just took the match
40:04away.
40:05And how easily
40:06he did that
40:0780 of 53 balls.
40:09Gautam Gambhir
40:10getting some runs
40:12under his belt.
40:12That should do
40:14his confidence
40:14a world of good
40:15and should help
40:16the Indian team
40:16immensely.
40:17Such an important
40:18batsman there
40:18in that line-up.
40:23Omar Girl
40:233 over 39.
40:25Yasser Arafat
40:25very expensive
40:26as well.
40:273 over 25.
40:28Only wicket
40:29to go on to
40:29Muhammad Ahmed
40:30who looked promising.
40:313 over 18
40:31for 1.
40:32Sahir Ajmal
40:332 for 16.
40:34Afiti 2 for 23.
40:36And Suhail
40:37and Shweimari
40:37looked quite
40:38average out there
40:39today.
40:41With the
40:41sixth bowler
40:42was introduced
40:43which was
40:44quite curious
40:46Sohail Tanvir.
40:47So there it is.
40:48India have won
40:49the second
40:49warm-up game.
40:50They lost to
40:50New Zealand
40:51at Lords
40:51but this was
40:52very good win.
40:54Winning by
40:55nine wickets.
40:55in the next
40:55match.
40:56One
40:57one
40:57one
