T-20 Cricket World Cup 2014: India showed, it's World Cup!

India vs Pakistan in T-20 Cricket World Cup 2014
In Cricket India-Pakistan match means dispersal of thrills. Obviously the battle of field and it also increases in the press box and outside the field among the cricket fans who are deprived from tickets of the gallery. The match between India and Pakistan, no matter the match holds in Bangladesh or any other planet. This the eternal appeal of India-Pakistan match.

Yesterday also it began. Sher-e-Bangla cricket stadium's gallery was packed with cricket fans. Waving of India-Pakistan flags. But the deficit was in the real parts! The waiting was for that 'Cricket war', That was a little too one-sided and watery. In T-20 World Cup history India won the match dominating over Pakistan again by 7 wickets remaining 9 balls. With this match in T-20 world Cup history India-Pakistan face for four times and India won every match.

131 is not a big target in T-20 cricket. However, to whom Pakistan gave this target, it was India!  Whose main power is batting lineup. In opening partnership Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan consisted 54 runs and made it easy for India. However, within 65 runs Dhawan, Rohit and Yuvraj went to the pavilion though it was not so difficult for India. Kohli and Raina came in to finish the match unbeaten.  Before the World Cup Raina brought his batting lessons from  Sourav Ganguly.After practice matches the improvement is being showed yesterday also.

Pakistan batting was randomized at the beginning with the run out of Kamran Akmal. And then Pakistan's innings was bashed in every footstep. In second wicket partnership Shehzad and Hafeez consisted 35 runs and in fourth wicket partnership Umar Akmal and Shoib Malik consisted 50 crucial runs. Pakistan scored 130 runs in their batting innings.  Afridi couldn't be found during batting, 8 runs off 10 balls!  It was a poor batting for Afridi.

Dhoni had a good captaincy. Winning the toss he chosed to field to avoid the dew factor. Three specialist spinners were shining in bowling and they made a crucial innings for India. Ashin bowled four over and conceded only 23 runs. Amit Mishra also took 2 wickets and conceded only 22 runs.
