IND vs PAK T20 World Cup - 2007 (Final)

This game, or maybe its result, is credited for the creation of the world’s richest T20 league. India beat Pakistan in the final of the inaugural edition of the T20 World Cup in South Africa in 2007, and the Indian Premier League (IPL) began in 2008. Let’s go through how the victory was stitched by a first-time captain, MS Dhoni.

India won the toss and elected to bat first. Opener Gautam Gambhir stepped up when it mattered the most and compiled a stroke-filled 75 in just 54 balls. An important unbeaten knock of 30 runs off 16 balls from the young Rohit Sharma helped immensely as the eventual champions put on 157 on the board in their 20 overs. Pakistan came out all guns blazing but kept losing wickets at regular intervals. RP Singh was the star bowler with figures of 3/26 in his quota of 4 overs. Misbah-ul-Haq kept Pakistan in the hunt and almost took them over the line. His famous scoop against Joginder Sharma was caught at fine leg by S Sreesanth and we had the first-ever World T20 champions at the Bull Ring.

India batted first, piled on 141/9 with the help of Robin Uthappa’s 39-ball 50 and were ready for the defense. They pretty much had Pakistan down on the mat in under 9 overs with the score reading 47/4. Misbah scored a half-century but got run out on the final delivery with the scores tied.
