India had the set the modest target of 157 thanks to the important innings played by unlikely hero Gautam gambhir, Dhoni and Yuvraj couldn't score many runs as pakistanis bold briliantly and they never allowed indian batsmen to dominate the way they had done to the other teams.It seemed like India will struggle to score even 140 when Gautam gambir got out, but young Rohit sharma played a dashing cameo that enabled India to set up a fighting total

When pakistanis started their chase, although they were scoring quickly but they kept on losing wickets, as R.P singh got two in his two overs and when Imran nazeer was looking to take the game away from India he was brilliantly run out by Robin.Dhoni did smart thing to bring his part timers when Pakistanis were trying to consolidate and Joginder got a bonus wicket of Younis khan.Then came the magical spell by Irfan who bold cleverly mixing up his slower ones and off cutters getting rid of Shoaib malik and very dangerous Shahid afridi, who played a terrible shot of the first bowl that he faced.When Irfan bold Yasir arafat it looked all over for pakistan, then came an onslaught from Misbah-ul-haq scoring three sixes of bhajji's over and than Sohail tanveer got into act as he smashed two sixes of Sreesanth, but sree redeemed himself as he bold sohail over.R.P singh bold brilliant penultimate over getting rid of ninth batsmen 'Umar gul', and was unfortunate as Asif edged his last bowl for a four.Which meant pakistanis needed 13 runs from the last over.Dhoni again entrusted the young man joginder with responsibility of bowling the crucial last over, the first bowl was a big wide, second bowl was play and miss, and when Misbah-ul-haq smashed the six of the third bowl everyone thought the game was over, and the next bowl he played a funny shot which was easily caught by Sreesanth.India had won the T20 world cup
