India vs Pakistan Twenty20 Match Bowl-Out - ICC World Cup

Have you ever been reminded of a soccer game while watching cricket??? Well, think again. The match between India and Pakistan today for the Twenty20 World Cup ended in a dramatic way. Both the teams reached the same total. And then what followed has become history now.

There were 2 balls remaining in the match and one run needed for Pakistan to grab the 2 points for the match. Sreesanth, bowls an empty ball. By this time the pressure was already evident in both the teams. And lo-behold the last ball was passed on to the silly and there despite being no room for a run the Pakistani batsmen run for a single and end up being run out. Now that leaves both the teams with a tie.

After the tie, as per the rules of the match, the teams can’t share a point if the match has been played and thence there are strike outs, just as we have the shoot outs in soccer. The first ball was bowled by Virendra Sehwag and then Harbajan Singh followed by Robin Utthapa. These three players stroked it perfectly leaving a lost Pakistani team with a zero.

The after comments of all the empires connote that nothing like this has ever happened in the game of cricket. The game is on its way to a revolution now…
