All the drama, action, emotions that were expected from the Mother Of
All Battles were present, there was no lack of tempers around but in
the end, it was an exciting game of cricket worth all the hype and the
money riding on it.
Gone was the diffident, hesitent, defensive captain. Hafeez took charge today, led from the front and his partnership with Shoaib Malik laid the foundation for Pakistan's first Twenty20 International victory over India. There were two batting collapses, but Pakistan managed to hang on. India went from 77 for 1 to 124 for 9, Pakistan from 12 for 3 to victory. Malik's unbeaten 57 was crucial, and his first 50 since getting married could not have come at a better time.
That's India's second T20 loss in the last over in as many games. And this one came with a six too. If captain Eoin Morgan led from the front for England, Mohammad Hafeez was the star today with his 61.
