The stakes were much higher the second time the nemeses met since the trophy was on the line. Gautam Gambhir top-scored with 75 off 54 balls, almost identical to his performance in the group stage encounter. India set a goal of 158 after Rohit Sharma’s excellent middle-order contribution.
Pakistan struggled at several points, as Misbah Ul Haq was once again called upon to save the day at 77/6. He dragged Pakistan back into the game and put them in a winning position with the help of Yasir Arafat and Sohail Tanvir. However, he ran out of partners before scooping up a Joginder Sharma delivery into the hands of Sreesanth. Wild celebrations resulted in the Indian camp in a night to remember.
