Down the Memory Lane: India's bowl-out win over Pakistan in the 2007 ICC World T20

Pakistan's top order struggled too!

Kamran Akmal's run

out put

Pakistan under pressure

Pakistani openers, Salman Butt & Imran Nazir, began their run chase cautiously and scored 12 runs off the first two overs. But on the first ball of the 3rd over, Nazir missed the attempted slog against RP Singh as the ball crashed into the stumps.

In came Kamran Akmal, one of the brightest talent in Pakistan at that time, with a lot of positive intent as he started off with a boundary and a sox in the same over. From there on Pakistan played very cautiously and kept the scoreboard moving with singles and odd boundaries here and there. The scoreboard read 42/1 after seven overs.

Just when the pair looked set to take the game away from India, Dhoni brought in Agarkar in place of Sreesanth and the legend of Dhoni's golden touch started. Agarkar got Salman Butt to knick one to Dhoni and in the next over Yuvraj Singh's brilliant throw sent the dangerous Kamran Akmal packing.

Then, Irfan Pathan jolted Pakistan even further as he bowled the experienced Pakistani great, Younis Khan in the same over and Pakistan found themselves in tatters just like India as they reduced from 42/1 in seven overs to 47/4 after nine.
