Indians playing first set an impressive target of 309 for Pakistan to chase. On the other hand, Pakistan seems to be set for achieving the target with their score of 205/2 in 31 overs. 104 in 19 overs with 8 wickets in hand seems to be cake walk for Pakistan, unless Indian bowlers some magic out.
India's imposing total was set up by an early onslaught by the openers, Virender Sehwag and Gautam Gambhir. Captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni and
Rohit Sharma knuckled down to compose workmanlike half-centuries to
arrest a sudden top-order jolt.
The pitch seems to be favoring batsman. It doesn't seem to have any support for bowlers. Sehwag looked set to repeat the performance of his previous game against Pakistan with a
breathtaking assault in the Powerplays
meanwhile, let's keep our fingers crossed for the final results.
Pakistan registered an impressive seven wicket victory over Zimbabwe in their 4th ODI at Faisalabad.
A century from Mohammad Yousuf and a fine all-round performance by Shoaib Malik led Pakistan to a comprehensive seven-wicket to the win over Zimbabwe. Yousuf and Malik put on 141 for the third wicket partnership to steer Pakistan's chase. It was Yousuf's 14th century. Malik 88 added to the three wickets he took earlier to restrict Zimbabwe to 244.
