Down the Memory Lane: India's bowl-out win over Pakistan in the 2007 ICC World T20

India started to Fightback

Robin Uthappa's innings gave India a defendable score

Robin Uthappa, who was well set by that time, decided to force things to release some pressure as he hit Yasir Arafat for two massive sixes and picked up 17 runs off the 10th over of the match.

Uthappa reached his half-century two overs later and just when innings was getting back on track for India, Sohail Tanvir struck gold as he prized out Uthappa's wicket off the very first ball of 13th over, thus, also delaying any intentions to accelerate by India.

But Dhoni, in his own unique way, stayed calm and kept picking singles with an odd boundary to keep the scoreboard moving and took India to 97/5 at the end of 15th over. In the 16th over, Irfan Pathan hit two consecutive sixes off Shahid Afridi but Afridi got his revenge off the very next ball as he bowled him with a quicker one.

With four overs left and only tail to bat with, Dhoni knew he had to take chances and struck a four and a six on the first two balls of the 17th over as India managed to score 12 off that over. But a halt in the play due to passing showers slowed things up and as India could only manage five runs off the 18th, losing Harbhajan Singh in the process.

Agarkar hit a couple of boundaries to Gul in the 19th but Arafat bowled a brilliant last over as he gave only three runs and picked up Dhoni's wicket as well. However, India had managed to reach a defendable total of 141/9 as the innings concluded.
