So the 2-match T20 Series as predicted has been shared by the arc-rivals. The pitch was so good that even the total of 192 looked to be chased down. But India seemed to have enough runs on the board thanks to the urgency shown by the pair of Yuvraj Singh and MS Dhoni and it wasn’t possible for Pakistan to keep on hitting the boundaries and sixes right till the end. Mohammad Hafeez played a scintillating knock and his wicket was the turning point. The likes of Dinda and Ishant got their acts right just when it mattered to ensure that Pakistan was short of the target.

The Man of the Match is Yuvraj Singh for blasting 72 from 36 balls. What entertainment he provided this evening! And his left-arm spin proving to be more than useful in this format of the game, this time chipping in with the crucial wicket of a dangerous Ahmed Shehzad. Pakistan Skipper Mohammad Hafeez for his two fifties got the Player of the Series award.
India win by 11 runs and with that draw the 2-match series 1-1.
