Cricket War between Pakistan and India

I always wanted a semi final between Pakistan and India and my wish has came true, there was no other possible matchup in this tournament which could have elevated the excitement level of this tournament than a semi final clash between India and Pakistan.

A day before the match every one was thrilled and excited for the big match.

I must say it was the final game before the final. This match was not for the faint hearted peopleJ both teams were high on confidence; India had the home advantage and was backed by a huge crowd.

 Pakistan had the huge disadvantage of having their first match in India. It was the win or go home situation there is no margin of error for either team the past record was heavily in favor of India.The match started with the National Anthem of both the teams, seriously that was the touchiest moment for me, and our heroes were reciting “Pak Sar Zameen Shad Baad” on the land of India. At that moment I feel so proud of my cricket team. 

In addition the fortunate 22 men in Green & Blue chosen to represent the hopes, dreams and aspirations of their proud nations. India won the toss and choose to bat first, from the first ball I realized that there was a big lack in fielding and that was the matter of Do or Die and Indians Batsman took great advantage of Pakistan’s poor fielding.

It was Wahab who was the Hero of the first innings. Lets took a look:-)

Wahab Riaz kneels down on the ground and perform a Sajda, to thank Almighty for the blessing and wins our heart.:-)

George Orwell famously wrote that Sport is war minus the shooting.

Unfortunately we loss the cricket war with India because of our own mistakes and weaknesses.

 But on the other hand its time to admit that not only in cricket ground there are many other fields that want our spirit and concentration to defeat India so, lets defeat India in those fields and prove that,

                  We are disciplined nation, we believe in practical, not only in slogans
