India were set a target of 274 runs for a win. With the kind of
pace attack they have, Pakistan must have been confident about
their chances. It all disappeared in a few minutes. Into the
fifth over and India had 50 runs on the board. Sachin Tendulkar
played a knock right out of top-draw – one that you’d
go miles and miles to see. His amazing stroke-play saw 18 runs being
taken off Akthar’s first over. The bowling was blasted all over
the park. Virender Sehwag too joined in the run fest – playing
some cracking strokes. But then, Waqar Younis struck a double
blow in the sixth over, getting rid of Sehwag and Ganguly for a
golden duck.
