Yes!! Yes!! India won the semi-finals of the world cup match against pak :) What a feeling :D
Moment of the week is - Bajji taking Afridi's wicket :D
I can't believe the way our whole nation is addicted to this sport :) Companies have declared half day holiday. I worked from home first half, and took off 2nd half. Superb match!! The key was winning the toss and batting first. The pressure is too much for any team to chase anything more tht 250. So 260 was a good score by India. Wish Sachin could reach 100, it would have been his 100th 100. He scored 85 and really got out after getting 6 life savers, pak players missing 4 catches, 1lbw and 1stump. Sehwag gave India a good start by hitting 21 runs in one of the overs!
After the initial 8 point run rate, the ball started to turn, and the run rate came down, but it never went below 5. Yuvi getting bowled out on his first ball was a disappointment as he had played so well all the previous matches. And that too at his home ground. Raina helped India reach 260 runs!
Pak started their innings by hitting 4. Initially they hit many 4s. Then when they were around 40, the first wicket fell, taken by zaheer. That was the kick-start our bowlers needed :), all the 5 bowlers played really well. Ashish Nehra, Zaheer Khan, Harbhajan Singh, Yuvraj Singh, Munaf Patel. Each one took important wickets (2wickets each), fielding was good, hardly any wide/no-balls. India deserved to win :D And we WON!! Last 3-2 overs pak started hitting 6s and 4s, but they didn't have wickets at hand. 49.5 overs, last but one ball, Zaheer took the last wicket. India finished by taking all the 10 wickets.
Lalalalalalaaaaa :)
