Stupendous run: Cheers Team India

Nobody expected them to do it, not even the firmest believers of unexpected events. Team India, powered by SIX SIXES of Yuvraj Singh set mountain like target for the British. Though they bowled badly, yet the English could not get the target. That was some fantastic batting from Indians. Now they had one more hurdle to cross which seemed even bigger. They had to beat tournament favorites South Africa to get into the semi-finals. Now it almost seemed impossible that they could get past Africa who have so many powerful hitters and a deadly bowling attack. The belief only strengthened when Indians were restricted to just 153 of 20 overs. They seemed on the verge of exit.

But then an amazing display with ball and south africa were 5 down within 6 overs !! Then it seemed like they had done it. Just then Morkel and Boucher reminded of worst of India's problems of not getting the lower order wickets soon enough. Fortunately this time, a bad shot from Boucher saw the ball hitting stumps after taking an inside edge. South Africa were so badly ht by the blow that they suddenly shifted their focus to getting into semis by getting 126 runs. But the destiny was somewhere else. They failed and could not even get 126 in 20 overs. It was the worst ever chase by South Africa which i have witnessed.

Some impeccable bowling saw India reaching into Semis. Now comes the biggie. They have to get past the unbeatable Aussies to get into Finals. But in this shortest form of cricket everything seems a reality. With every Indian player putting his best efforts, beating Australia seems a reality. Australia have a deadly record in the big matches whoever the opponent is. We can only hope that it's different this time. These younger Indians deserve to be their in the Final. Cheers Team India.

I hope you will make it there. Best of Luck :-) !
