Enjoy the highlights of this high voltage T20 Cricket match which was decided in a SUPER OVER after getting TIED

Shahid Afridi's All-Round performance

Whatever you call it: Science v/s Art or Modern v/s Conventional, the team that was least expected to win the ICC T20 WorldCup this year has entered Finals and will be playing against the winners of SriLanka v/s WestIndies match. South Africa is the obvious favorite before the tournament started and they proved it right with consecutive wins until today! They boast of a super all-round team with names like: Kallis, Gibbs, Smith, DeVilliers, etc and they bat down the order. They are the most consistent T20 team ever and they have lost in the hands of the most unpredicatble team ever. Shahid Afridi’s agressive all-round performance has out classed the class of Kallis and SA bowlers.

Pakistan team made an average score of 145 by losing 4 wickets (Afridi-51 & ShoaibMalik-34) and SA faltered in chasing it. They made 142 by losing 5 wickets (Kallis-64, Duminy-44). Afridi has bowled 4 overs, gave just 16 runs and has picked-up 2 crucial wickets of Gibbs & DeVilliers.

Though it’s sad to see SA out of the worldcup again, Pakistan’s dedication and agressiveness might make an interesting final….!

Gilchrist's 85 in 35 balls was ligtning Fast

Deccan Chargers‘ captian Adam Gilchrist has produced a blinder by hitting 85 runs in just 35 balls (Ten 4′s & Five 6′s). He scored his 50 in 17 balls (Fastest 50 in IPL matches) and the innings has made Delhi’s 153 score look so small. He made the required runrate to fall from 7.9 to 5 runs per over. He has scored 25 runs of Sehwag’s over, 21 runs of Nannes’s over.

This is one of my happiest moments in life as my favorite team: Deccan Chargers is into finals of IPL season 2 (getting into finals in IPL2 after standing in 8th position in IPL1 is not a small achievement). Thanks to Gilchrist for his ruthless massacre. Though I miss VVS Laxman a lot, this match has erased all those disappointments! Deccan Chargers has chased Delhi’s score of 153 in 17.4 overs with 6 wickets in hand.
