4th ODI: India v Pakistan (Winner: IND)

India met Pakistan and both teams were at an even keel and the match justified COW putting them at 50-50. Through the Pakistani innings COW swung both ways with the highest COW being in India’s favour at 56% in 45th over. With only 2 scores over 40 in their innings, Pakistanis were always struggling, apart from the brief period when boom boom was on fire before going bust. The tail end could not keep the momentum going but Kamran Akmal’s late heroics and Indian bowlers’ philanthropy ensured they pulled COW back to 49%. Indians got off to a surprisingly sedate start and COW was quickly in Pakistan’s favour. Gambhir seemed to be the only player who got a good night’s sleep and rest seemed to be sleepwalking through their innings. Pakistan’s COW went up to 58% in the 31st over before the Indian fight back begun. Gambhir, Dhoni and Sharma followed Coach’s call and pulled the COW back to 53% in India’s favour at the end of 41st over. However, few tight overs courtesy Ravindra Jadeja’s batting and some wickets led to Pakistan’s COW going up to 71% in the 47th over but Raina’s quickfire innings and Harbhajan’s rescue act saw India pull through at the very last moment.
