This match has been interesting so far. Every time I watch Pak team play they start sucking. When I first started watching today, IND were 87/5, and then no wickets for a while. Then after I started watching Pak batting it was 10/2 when I turned it off, so they got better. I'm gonna do Pakistani team a favor and stop watching.

Well. Congrats to Pakistan on an excellent win in a very interesting match.The best match of the tournament so far.
India's batting let it down. The fielding and bowling did a valiant effort but 200 was always a modest score to defend. Also those misfields towards the end didn't help. But an excellent innings from Youhana. He knew the wicket was tough to bat on and he just kept his cool. Afridi did his job towards the end by hitting Pathan for those 2 sixes. If Pathan had got an upper hand at that point in time, things would have got tricky for Pakistan and who's better then Afridi to hit some blows and the young Pathan lost the plot, but I still feel that Ganguly did a blunder in not bowling Pathan in the 48th over when Afridi was gone and Hasan was on strike.There was no way India could have contained Pakistan and the only way was to get wickets and Pathan could have very well done the job at that point.

Great victory for Pakistan, and a tremendous knock by Youhana. Match winning performance. Disappointing that its India's batting that's letting them down recently, as Ganguly said after the match, you can't expect to win when the batting isn't even getting more than 250 on the board.
A few things I think needs a mention. Okay so Shahid Afridi smashed Pathan in his second spell, but when Afridi went out, and Pathan had an over left why in the hell didn't they bowl him out? Hasan was on strike, and all it needed was one good yorker and the game could of completely changed. I think that was bad captaincy, I was sitting there wondering why Pathan wasn't bowling, and I thought that maybe I counted his overs incorrectly and he had bowled his 10 overs. Turns out he hadn't.
Secondly, Ganguly's mistake of not backing up was shocking. When there's a few balls left there is no excuse for stuff like that. It was game over once that happened.
Big win for Pakistan, they take on the Windies next in what should be a good game.

WOW!! What a nail-biter!! Pakistan wins, just barely. I am so happy, I cannot begn to decribe my state of happiness. Pathan destroyed Pakistan's batting and made me lose all hope, but thanks to the Inzi-Youhana (41.91 ave) 
partnership, Pak team was able to make a comeback. And man!! those two sixes by Afridi turned the game around, I was watching in disbelief when I realized Pathan was the one bowling!!
In the end, great job Indians, and Pakistan Zindabad!!
Next target: West Indies!!!

Congratulations to Pakistan on pulling out another India-Pak nail-biter. Once again, they prove that they are the better team under pressure. Great job by Youhana. I underestimated Afridi but his sixes really turned the match and completely broke my heart.
But Indian batsmen need to take the blame for not scoring enough runs. You can't expect to win a knock out match scoring just 200.
