It was the tenth match of the tournament and had all the makings of a blockbuster with a grand climax.

Pakistan won the toss and asked India to bat first. Riding on Robin Uthappa's fifty and Dhoni's 33 runs, India managed to accumulate 142 runs - quite an achievable target for their archrivals. No other Indian batsmen could contribute much, but the side made up for it with some brilliant fielding and bowling.

It was a head-to-head affair. RP Singh broke into the Pakistan line-up with the wicket of Imran Nazir. Salman Butt and Kamran Akmal were doing the repair work when Ajit Agarkar dismissed Butt. Three runs later, Kamran Akmal and Younis Khan fell in succession.

Victory looked inevitable for Pakistan as skipper Shoaib Malik and Misbah-ul Haq combined to add 40 runs for the fifth wicket, but Irfan Pathan broke the partnership removing Malik.

Misbah tripped on the threshold of victory and was run out to see the match tied. But as the rules of the format would have it, a match had to have a winner. And it was to be decided by the cricketing version of the penalty shootout - 'Bowl Out', something Pakistan allegedly had no clue about.

The two teams sent three players each. While Pakistan sent Shahid Afridi, Yasir Arafat and Umar Gul, India sent Harbhajan Singh, Virender Sehwag and Robin Uthappa. The Pakistani trio targeted the stumps as if they were six sticks. Indians were as accurate as sharp shooters and in the end the Men in Blue were seen jumping, rollicking, hugging and running all over the park.
