So, finally against all odds India has reached the finals of the first edition of T20 World Championship.All credit to Indians the way the played under a new captain.


What a tournament Dhoni and Yuvraj have had so far! And to me thats the differentiating factor
I just get the feeling that Dhoni is relishing the additional responsibilty and looks relaxed even when the pressure starts to mount .There is a fearlessness in his approach. He always had cool head on his shoulders and this should augur well for the upcoming series against the Australians.
Not only has he rotated his bowlers well but also scored runs coming in at crucial time.
At times he was imaginative with his field placements.Plus he knows his side's strength well.
India always had a strength in putting runs on the board and the skipper has stuck to this strength.
The idea is to be circumspect for the intial 4 - 5 overs when the new ball does a bit and then once the batsman has got his eye in, go after the bowlling with wickets in hand
and This plan has certainly worked for the Indians .

Now the big Question is can India do it once again on monday .
Tipped to be a contest of Indian Batting Vs Pakistan's talented pace attack,it has all the making of a tight match .

From india's perspective ,there top order is giving them starts for the middle order to capitalise .But they will have lift their bowling and fielding ,bowling in particular.

Pakistan have been riding on their pace attack and Umar Gul is delivering the goods and Afridi chipping in with wickets in the middle overs,not to mention the unusual Tanvir. As far as the batting is concerned barring the last game, the openers have failed and the experience of Misbah ,Yunus and Shoaib Malik rescuing them .

The key men for tom big one would be

Virender Sehwag(is middling the ball well ,a quick fire 40 -50 can put the oppostion on the backfoot)

Yuvraj Singh( has hit a purple patch , can dominate the attack which is predominantly pace oriented)

MS Dhoni( can give the final boost with his ability to clear the ground)


Mis Bah Haq(dosenot loose his cool under trying circumstances, a good finisher)

Umar Gul(Can be skiddy and yet extract discerning bounce )


Shoib Malik(has got a great record against India )

May the best team win !
But I get the feeling it is India who will call the shots tomorrow as they have a psychological advantage of the win in the league match!
