Pakistan have won the toss and elected to field
The Indian batsmen have done their job this time. Yuvraj did the bulk of it. His career best score of 72 helped India recover from a tricky situation and finish strongly. Dhoni gave him very good support for a while and their stand was definitely one of the turning points of the innings. The wicket has stayed true and is very good for batting.
A cracking game of cricket and India deservedly level the series 1-1. Pakistan started off well and were kept in the hunt by some exceptional batting from their skipper Hafeez but Dinda ensured that India didn't have to worry by taking care of three crucial wickets.
Those 2 balls changed the entire complexion of the game. The ones that I'm referring to are the ones where first Umar refused the single and then he was bowled next ball. From then on it put immense pressure on Hafeez who succumbed. But still credit must be given to Dinda. He gave away 12 runs off his last two overs and took 3 wickets which ensured Ishant had enough in the tank for the last over.
India 192/5 (20 overs)
Pakistan 181/7 (20 overs)
India won by 11 runs
Yuvraj Singh is the Man of the Match for his 36 ball 72.
Hafeez is the Man of the Series for his back to back fifties.
