Mohali, March 30: After Pakistan got off to a brisk and confident start reaching 44/0 in 8.4 overs, India pegged back the visitors, reducing them to 70/2 in 15.3 overs. Asad Shafiq and Younis Khan took Pakistan to 100/2 in 23 overs, before Shafiq was bowled by Yuvraj and Pakistan were 103/3. Pakistan reached 106/3 in 25 overs before Yuvraj got the wicket of Younis Khan and Pakistan were 106/4 in 25.4 overs. Harbhajan then removed a dangerous Umar Akmal for 29 as Pakistan slid to 142/5 in 33.3 overs, before Munaf got rid of Razzaq for 3 as Pakistan slipped to 150/6.
Afridi to the rescue?
Abdul Razzaq came to the crease to join Misbah with the score at 142/5 in 33.3 overs. Pakistan reached 150 in the 37th over, but almost immediately lost the wicket of Razzaq when he was bowled to Munaf Patel for 3. with captain Shahid Afridi coming to the crease. Then in the 40th over, Yuvraj nearly got the wicket of Afridi, but Nehra grassed a catch in the deep as Pakistan moved to 177/6 in 40 overs.
Umar, Misbah fight back
In the 28th over, Umar Akmal was nearly run out but Yuvraj made a mess of it, knocking off the bails without gathering the ball. In Yuvraj's next over, Umar got stuck into the bowler, carting him for a four and six and followed up with another six in Yuvi's following over as Pakistan climbed to 141/4 in 32 overs. But Umar's defiance was cut short for 29 off 24 balls, when Bhajji bowled him with a quicker doosra asPakistan slid to 142/5 in 33.3 overs.
