India won the toss and elected to bat first. Opener Gautam Gambhir stepped up when it mattered the most and compiled a stroke-filled 75 in just 54 balls. An important unbeaten knock of 30 runs off 16 balls from the young Rohit Sharma helped immensely as the eventual champions put on 157 on the board in their 20 overs. Pakistan came out all guns blazing but kept losing wickets at regular intervals. RP Singh was the star bowler with figures of 3/26 in his quota of 4 overs. Misbah-ul-Haq kept Pakistan in the hunt and almost took them over the line.
