Kitply Cup : India beat Pakistan by 140 runs

MS Dhoni and his men in blue thrashed Pakistan by 140 runs in the second ODI of the tri-nation Kitply Cup. This also ended Pakistan’s 12 game winning streak which consisted of 5 games against Bangladesh.

End of winning streak

The amazing fact was that India did not let Pakistan be in top at any moment in the match. Most of the batsmen contributed to India’s score of 320, a massive one considering the fact that the pitch aided spinners. But not so massive too, considering Pakistan went in with 4 seamers. Brains man. Shoaib Malik did not even bowl himself. Pity. Maybe they are practicing for the final. I am not going to go into the scores and all, you can get it here.

A word of note for Shahid Afridi here. Thanks for reminding us who you are and what kind of responsible innings you always play. Cricinfo said this about his dismissal:

Chawla to Shahid Afridi, OUT, stumped! Afridi telegraphed his intentions as he ran down the track too early and that allowed Piyush to bowl it quicker and outside off. Afridi had also moved outside leg and couldn’t get bat on ball

Too bad he is such a talent. I should have had that talent and I would have made my country win a lot of games. WITH THE BAT!
