3rd ODI Between India and Pakistan At Kanpur
By Cricket ~ November 10th, 2007. Filed under: India, ODI, Pakistan, cricket.
Both the teams land in Kanpur exactly 15 hours before the play begins. Team India has a number of press conferences to attend before the start of the match whereas the Pakistan side goes directly to the pitch to check its condition and strategies the play tomorrow. However, the wicket was closed when the men in green arrived and it was pretty unlikely that India would go ahead to check the pitch and the outfield.
Shahid Afridi is the name attached to this ground. The man holds the record of hitting the fastest possible century from the Pakistani side on this stadium and who knows-there might be another one on its way. Nevertheless, the teams arrive here with an equality. At this point of time, both the teams have scored a winning point in the tournament and to attain a lead, the match at Kanpur is going to be decisive.
Mohali has witnessed one of the greatest run chases by the Pakistani side and that has surely left them with a momentum. The confidence is right there and all they need is to keep up the performance and live upto the batting strategies set collectively by their team. India on the other side has problems picking up the right combination for the match. There are rumors that Murali Kartik would be included in the side tomorrow with a combination of five bowlers as opposed to four in the last match. Virendra Sehwag’s stand seem to be in doubt for the match tomorrow. Anyways every India-Pakistan match is a saga in itself and nothing can be predicted in such games in advance.
