Pakistan. World Cup match. Till date, the result of a match between India and Pakistan in World Cup has been only one. An Indian win. The same continued in 2011 too.
Tendulkar was the Man of Match but his performance was least convincing with four lives in his innings. Sehwag fired India to a great start but was dismissed in the six overs itself. Sachin with useful contributions from most of the other batsmen managed to take India to 260. With India bowling second, it was up to the Indian bowling to squeeze the run-flow.
Kamran Akmal and Hafeez, like the Indian openers, started well but the Indians took wickets to stem the run-flow. With the spinners Harbhajan and Yuvraj chipping in, Pakistan found themselves in a hole by the 42nd over with only Misbah-al-Haq at the crease. It was just a time before the last wicket fell, taking India past their neighbor into the 2011 World Cup final.
