Earlier in the day, skipper Shoaib Malik and Mohammad Yousuf put on a 168 run partnership that powered Pakistan to 306/6 in their alloted 50 overs. When India begain the chase, Tendulkar was in good form but otherwise the start was quite disastrous. India were never quite in the chase after the quick wickets early, except for the period when Yuvraj and Rohit Sharma partnered for 81 runs. Pakistan bowled well in the middle overs, Alam and Malik succeeded in checking the run rateAfter a composed fifty, Rohit Sharma departed and India lost Yuvraj and Dhoni in quick succession. And that was the beginning of the end.
