In the Cricket World Cup 2011 semi-final, India defeated Pakistan by 29 runs and qualified for the final. As India and Pakistan are the two major and big opponents of each other, so this match was very important for both teams. When Pakistan qualified for semi-final after defeating West Indies, from that time people wanted that we would fight with India in the semi-final and this happened true. India defeated Australia in the second quarter final and then got ready to fight with Pakistan at Mohali on 30th March 2011.
So when India removed world champion Australia then from that time the passion and mania of the people of both countries increased day by day. Media played a great role to make passionate this fight. Specially people of Pakistan made special arrangements to watch this historical match live. Big screens were arranged in the crowded place of the country. In fact, my apartment’s union also arranged a big screen and refreshments to watch this match. Many youngsters including my brother painted their face with Pakistani flag and wear the national shirts. People were very excited.
So when the match start then as usual due to the strong batting line of India, its start was great. Specially those moments when Sehwag hit 5 fours on an over of Umar Gul. But when Wahab Riaz out Sehwag through LBW then the pressure on Pakistani team decreased a bit. So Indian batsmen kept fighting and got out. Specially the bold of Yuvraj was very outstanding by Wahab Riaz when Yuvraj just missed the line. The bowl was not yorker. It was full toss. But sudden the bullet speedy ball of Wahab Riaz collided into the wickets and Yuvraj astonished. So it was the great wicket I liked the most. India scored 260 for 9 and played full 50 overs. The good thing is the hilarious bowling of Wahab Riaz who took 5 important wickets. The unbelievable thing was the 4 catches of Tendulkar dropped by Pakistani fielders that’s why he scored the highest individual score, 85 runs and out by Saeed Ajmal.
When Pakistan came for bat then Kamran Akmal and Mohammad Hafeez gave a good and confident start. But just before the team’s half century, Zaheer Khan out Kamran Akmal. He scored 19. Then wickets of Pakistani team was fallen step by step. Hafeez scored 44, Asad Shafiq scored 30 and so on. The main fault which is very common in Pakistani team could easily be seen in this match too. The weak batting line. Top class batsman scored very low. Younis out on 13, Razzak on 3 and Afridi on 17 which was very shameful for the team. Misbah fought good but as a test playing nature, he was sleeping when Pakistani team had wickets and started hitting aggressively when no hope was left. So all Pakistani team out on 231 runs. India won by 29 runs as well as qualified for the final against Sri Lanka which will be played on Saturday 2nd April 2011. Good efforts and game played by the Indian team.
