Pakistan claims nail-biting win! - Sports

In a dramatic series of events, the Indian team was stunned by an amazing display of cricket by a very disciplined and determined Pakistani side. Even though Pakisan was only able to level the series, the manner in which why conducted their business was simply fabulous. Thanks to Inzimam and Younis Khan's century and double century respectively, Pakistan was able to amass 570 in the first innings. In response, Virender Sehwag boosted his side by scoring a double century in response, and saw his side's innings end at 449.

Ganguly was a troubled man on the last two days

In their second innings, the moment the two youngsters Yasir Hameed and Shahid Afridi stepped in, their intention was clear. Shahid Afridi went in to give Pakistan a flying start, and Yasir Hammed made sure he wasn't too far behind Afridi's mega onslaught. The two gave Pakistan a double adrenaline pump as the Indian bowlers had no answer to a fantastic display of strokes by both these youngsters. Afridi then threw away his wicket away when he charged down the pitch to smack yet another one out of the ground, but failed to make contact and ended up in the pavillion. However, Yasir Hammed continued to play sensibly and scored 76 with some flamboyant strokes. Younis and Inzamam both added 84 and 31 to the score before declaring the innings. India quickly raced to 25 without any loss by the end of the day in 7 overs.

India required a massive 383 runs to win the game and the series, or to play through the last day and tie the game, which would still result in an Indian victory in the series. However, the Pakistani team quiclky got rid of Sehwag, the danger man and from that point on, India looked to be on the defensive, and could never really recover from that point on. The test series has been drawn and Pakistan will now play 6 one day international matches against India, beginning 2nd of April at Cochin.
