India had a comfortable win over the Pak team, when it finishes the second ODI by reaching the target of 265. It was a wonderful day for Indians who, right from the beginning of the match had an edge over the opponents both in their bowling action and batting strokes.
With Pathan giving a big jolt to the openers of Pak team, rest of the bowlers spelled with less number of extras, our fielders fastly picking the ball wherever it goes, Indian Team had a good session to limit the Pak score far below 300. Interestingly, as everyone delights, they made four run-outs, that shows their fielding capacity.
Pak has no other go except to surrender to the sudden length and pitch of our bowlers.
In the second session, Indians batted too cleverly to chase the target. Openers Sehwag and Tendulkar paired to count the score to hundreds. Amazingly, unexpectedly Umar Gul threw the ball from the boundary line to the stumps when Sehwag was trying to make another run. Great moment to watch this run out and the on-lookers felt a streak of records that they are watching a most-memorable match with so many run-outs in the history of cricket.
YuvaRaj is steadily becoming a master of sorts in batting, especially in the overseas pitches. He took painless 80 runs with a brilliance of strokes and shots that delighted many cricket fans.
Indians had proved for the first time that a score of 265 is a mere chance of chasing and batting to their best efforts. No miracle has to happen to taste such wins.
By the time, you read this review, 3rd ODI would also have been played at Lahore. Cricket fans all over India are awaiting for the best to happen there!
