India beat Pakistan by 29 runs. Excellent performance of Indian players make them a victory over Pakistan. Here bad performance of Pakistani players are also noticeable, because man of the match Shachin Ramesh Tendulkar got life for 4 times, and with the help of these opportunities he made a handsome score of 85 runs and made India to go to final. Tendulkar dropped for four times in his man of the match innings to anchor India to 260-9 against their arch-rivals before his team's bowlers applied the pressure and the brakes to secure a 29-run win in the hotly-anticipated clash. First time Misbah missed then Kamran missed his catch then Younis Khan missed and at last Umor Akmal missed his catch but Shahid Afridi dont mistake to take a brilliant catch to dismissed Tendulkar's innings. Tendulkar again missed out on making 100 international centuries but has the satisfaction of having played in all five of India's World Cup wins over Pakistan. Now he hopes to be at the forefront of Saturday's campaign where India will look to capture a second World Cup title. In the very beginning of the day Indian captain Dhoni won the toss and decided to bat first. Two openers Virendar Sehwag starts fantastically but after falling of Sehwag's wicket ,run was slow and at the last it made 260. Pakistani pacer wahab riaz made his best figure yesterday, he picked up 5 wicket and also handsome wicket Sehwag, Kohli, Yuvraj, Dhoni. But bad performance keeps Pakistan away from final, and it is unbelievable. Pakistan floundered more than what they could afford, while India marched ahead to set up a clash with Sri Lanka in the World Cup final in Mumbai.
