What a win! the key actor was Sachin Tendulkar with an amazing 98 off 75 balls, when he slaughtered the Pakistan attack getting most of the fifty runs in five overs!
That early onslaught wiped out any hopes as he took the run rate beyond control, he was dropped at about 30 but it was a difficult chance to Razzaq ay mid off, he went on and carried on smashing the pacers, most focus on Shoaib who finally did get him with a brute of a ball on the off
Pakistan had done well batting posting a good 273 that looked like a defendable total
The Indian batting machine came out blazing and did not let up, good support form Kaif, Yuvraj and Dravid got them home in less than 46 overs
With the slow over rate the chances are Pakistan will be fined too to add to the loss
This game has provided the massive crowd at Centurion and all those watching on TV and on the Web their money's worth
We are waiting to find out who will be getting the man of the match award
The Indian team is acknowledging the crowd. The Pakistan team also joins them
Waqar out to talk to the MC, says its not over yet but says full credit to the Indian team and SRT who took the game away from us. Hopes they can still qualify with a bit of fortune
Ganguly thanks everybody and says the way we have played has made the whole country proud. Felt comfortable with chasing the total, congratulates SRT and his other batsmen
Man of the Match is Sachin Tendulkar for the match winning innings
We have enjoyed bringing this game and hope you will enjoy tomorrows game between England and Australia
Good bye all
