Pakistan lift Kitply cup!!


India vs Pakistan finals is always a pressure situation for both the teams. The Kitply tri series played between India Pakistan and Bangladesh saw India and Pakistan competing in the finals. India had the initial momentum before going into the game. Pakistan won the toss and were quite happy to bat first. They got off to a steady start and lost Akmal when the score was 34. Then the Butt, Younis pair came together. They played out of their skins and put on a double century stand. Both of them completed their centuries and their heroics saw Pakistan post a mammoth score of 315. Indians are well known to crack under pressure and that is what they exactly did. They fell short of 25 runs which ended up to be a good chase in the end. Both Yuvraj and Dhoni played fairly well. Gul bowled a splendid spell picking up three wickets. Younis Khan was the man of the match whereas Salman Butt bagged the man of the tournament award.
