INDIA make a fascinating 10 runs win over Pakistan

2 comments
INDIA after posting a low total of 167 runs against Pakistan, was able to put a huge fight to win the match by 10 runs.

It was quite fascinating victory from the Men in Blue who were in trouble scoring runs. In very cold conditions, MS Dhoni won the toss and elected to bat first. As usual INDIAN start was very poor with both opener got out cheaply. Even the middle order not able to handled the pressure, Yuvraj singh was looking good but unfortunately got bold. Raina and Dhoni in the middle consolidating  the innings with some great shots. It was looking the duo will make good score for INDIA, but it was not always same like of 1 ODI. Raina get out leaving the captain Dhoni to fight alone.

Dhoni is great skipper, he didn't lose his mind continue stroking the balls. Dhoni hit 3 sixes to cheers the crowds, in that problematic situations. Dhoni took powerplay and got caught in point. Some good shots from jadeja INDIA able to put target of 168 to Pakistan.

INDIA  got start by Bhuvneshwar Kumar  who took 2 wicket and finish is 10 over straight way. New bowler Shami though not able to get wicket early but able to restrict Pakistan in scoring rate. Pakistan was going slow but steady while bowler were bowling economically. Ashwin strikes to get Jamshed out but Pakistani captain Mishab and Umar Akmal  gave a good partnership but after falling of Pakistani captain, slowly they loss their wickets at regular interval. INDIANS keep their nerves open to get Pakistan bowled out at 157 to score a narrow 10 runs victory.

It was good fielding that contributed to victory as their moral were high in the beginning and they do better fielding to save boundaries and runs. Some good discipline bowling with great captaincy from the Dhoni make the things turn in favor of victory. Dhoni must be praise for it the victory that INDIA got in the third ODI while they had already lost the series due to some poor batting from others. Dhoni has power of changing the game himself. He did not only scored but also make use of bowlers, encourages player to not loss the sense as he says - "160 wasn't enough. But I told the team that yes it is not enough, but the team should compete well." He deserves the man of the match.

Batsmen let INDIA down against pakistan

No comments
It was T20 where INDIAN bowlers were getting beaten all over now it was turn of Batsmen, they do nothing play like street players, fall in the some hard bowling of Pakistani. 

In T20 batting was good but bowling was failing but now every top order batsmen are get in prey to Pakistan blowers. INDIA had lost the ODI series to Pakistan. It was total fault of top order batsmen who has not scored. In both the ODI matches which INDIA lost top order were big  reason behind the loss. In first ODI INDIA were at 5-29 and in Today's match INDIA was on 5-95, what a score!.

In the first T20 I told mistakes of Dhoni but it was captain cool who had shown character against the Pakistani bowlers with his hundred and half century respectively in the first and second one-day-international.  Dhoni was only who score while Raina helped him in first game, while Shewag, Gambhir, Kholi, Yuvraj all failed, don't ask about Rohit Sharma and Ravindra Jadeja. If record are check for the top oders batmen then it will show except Kholi, Dhoni and little bit of Raina's (leave Yuvraj) all have not score. Team INDIA need to be given fresh faces.

After humiliation from England in test series now it was Pakistan turn to do it in ODI. Till when this degradation of team INDIA will go? After World cup victory INDIA had gone bad in test now they are in ODI. What will be future? Don't know!
