India Vs Pakistan (Karachi) 4 match T20​

India (Xtremedesix)
Pakistan (Leftarmfast)

After getting thrased by Aussies, team India tour their neighbors for a five match T20 series, all to be played in Karachi.

The Indian and Pakistani cricket teams have been long-time arch rivals, and their rivalry is considered to be the most intense and pressurizing battle in all of sports. An India-Pakistan cricket match has been estimated to attract up to one billion television viewers, and defeat is usually unacceptable to fans of both teams.

After their last win against Australia, Indian morale will be high and on other hand pakistan have not played since Champions trophy.

But one thing is for sure ---- winning the tournament is the later part of the game but the DRAMA when these teams play each other is always on the high with players like Gautam Gambhir, Shahid Afridi, Harbhajan Singh, Salman Butt.

India VS Pakistan 1st match
Pakistan won by 2 wickets
India won the toss and decided to bat first on a flat track,
India got off to a flyer with 104-4 in 10 overs but then great bowling by Pakistan held India to 169
Pakistan got off to flyer too with 104-4 in 9 overs (instead of 10 overs for india)
and later great bowling by zaheer khan and ishant sharma almost created magic before Shoihab aktar slogged pakistan to victory

Man of the match was Yunis Khan for his quick fire of 47
great batting by both teams top order but the middle order has to contribute some runs to post big score on these flat tracks.
Dhoni is confident of winning the next match but Pakistan are on a high. Lets wait and watch.

Great game, Younus Khan was dropped on duck and went on to make 47(31). That was probably the difference. Also Akhtar bowled a double wicket maiden in the 19th over.

ya yonis brought luck with him he was caught on a noball (first ball) then the third ball he faced there was a dropped catch, after that yonis khan smashed the ball all over the ground with scoring over 11 runs per over which took the gae away from india. even tho mahender singh dhoni got his wicket lol, misbah ul haq played in similar mood and won the game for pakistan

Gautam Gambhir
Yusuf Pathan

Players to watch out for
Gautam Gambhir - Played a stable inning in the first match, attacked in the powerplay and then stole the singles and doubles, could be very destructive against pakistan because he loves playing spinners.
Suresh Raina - We saw the signs of what he is capable of dispatching the first 3 balls for 664 he faced.
Zaheer Khan - was very economical with the ball giving 25 runs in 4 overs with 2 wickets and about 10 of those runs came in free hit.
Younis Khan - As destructive as Afridi in his day, he hammered the indians all over the ground
Shahid Afridi - was good with the ball and a quick fire of 21 of 9 balls were signs of what is to come in the series by him..
Shohaib Aktar - Best bowling figures by him
Virender Sehwag - Stayed Quiet in the first match can be very destructive on any day, most importantly against pakistan
