IndiaPakO.D.I Matches
1st One Day International,Peshwar.

India Pakistan one day international,have always been breathtaking and really very close, and the latest one at Peshawar didnt dissappoint us.Pakistan won the toss and elected to bat first,as Inzamam wanted to take advantage of the early morning moisture on the wicket. Pakistan went in to the match without quicky Shoaib Akhtar,who was replaced by Naved Ul Rana. But it was Mohammad Asif, who once more got the vital wicket of Virender Sehwag. India sent in Irfan Pathan to bat at the one down position. After a real dodgy start, the Baroda lad got stuck into the Pakistan bowling. He started middling everythin and was very severe on all the Pakistani bowlers, specially Umar Gul who was hit for 22 runs in his third over. Pathan went onto make a well made run a ball 65,before he was dismissed by Naved Ul Rana off a well directed bouncer. India surprised everyone again my sending Mahindra Singh Dhoni,at the 2 down position. Naved Ul Rana could have been on a hat-trick after getting Tendulkar bowled when he was on 20,but that was ruled out to be a no-ball.
Dhoni and Tendulkar batted flawlassly after that. Dhoni also btought up his 50 in fine style. Arshad Khan(the supersub) was brought onto replace Umar Gul. Tendulkar greeted him by launching a huge six over the midwicket boundary. Dhoni added 68 runs before he was caught brilliantly by Shoaib Malik at backword point. Sachin brought up yet another one day century. But India wasted the last 6 overs as they only added 28 runs in them,which proved to be vital towards the end.They ended up with 328 in 49.3 overs.
Scorers:
S.Tendulkar 100
M.S.Dhoni 68
I.Pathan 65

Pakistan started the chase with Salman Butt n Kamran Akmal. India subbed Sachin for Suresh Raina. Pakistan got upon the task in fine style with both the batsmen attacking jut enough. Shreeshant dismissed Akmal,after the latter drived upishly to Gautam Gambhir at short point. Shoaib Malik n Salman Butt got together, who have been India's nemesis for a long time in O.D.I.'s.  They both batted bravely,improvising at times n scoring runs at will. Indias four fast bowler attack didnt get any luck as both the batsmen enjoyed their time out in the middle. Butt scored one more century against the Indian bowling attack, but was dismissed soon after. Shahid Afridi came into the middle,to a major roar by the local fans,as this was his home ground, but he didnt last for too long as a direct hit from Mohd Kaif sent him back into the pavilion. Pakistan continues to attack the bowling,even though they kept losing wickets. Inzamam was given out in contriversial circumstances as he patted back a throw directed at the stumps by Suresh Raina. India continued pressurising Pakistan,but when they needed 18 runs to win of 18 balls, Pakistan were offered light,and accepted it as they won a famous game and took a one nil lead.
