Match Details
Game set and match, they take the win in this contest by 6 wickets and five balls to spare in the end. The true architect of the win was his elder sibling though. Yusuf Pathan turned back the pages of history and treated us to an absolute gem of an innings, 80 off just 40 deliveries. Things were looking bleak for the Indian Maharajas as they were struggling at 34 for three at the end of the powerplay.
He took the game head on and led them right through the chase. Mohmmad Kaif played anchor at the other end, stitching together a match winning 117 run stand for the fourth wicket. Earlier in the day, Kaif won the toss and elected to field first.
The Asian Lion started off positively and we saw Kamran Akmal, Upul Tharanga and Misbah at their absolute bests. The total seemed enough until Yusuf Pathan came out to the crease and bullied this attack.
The stalwarts of the game have entertained us thoroughly and brought a smile to our faces. It might be a cliche but the actual winner of this game were the fans as we witnessed our childhood heroes dawn their jerseys one more time; Smiles all around.
