Indian cricket team is on the roll against Pakistani side in the World cup matches as they won the rain restricted T-20 World Cup match at Kolkata in a convincing way. The bowlers stitched their way to this win and the batsmen broke the shackles to go eleven up against Pakistan in World cup matches. The mercurial team is having a magical wand to down our arch rivals Pakistan and keep our pride in International Cricket. We have a young team and the Pakistani side does not have the right mixture to beat us in our backyard. But for creating a stir in initial overs and that too with the new ball, the team across the border was an easy prey to the Indian side. When men’s team did us proud with superior show, the Women side went down to Sana Mir’s side and lost the game by 2 runs (D/L method). T-20 cricket is to be played like a game of chess and every move counts. The women’s team was taken a back by rains whereas the men’s team was lucky enough to get 18 overs in Eden Gardens once looked like a pool of water all along, came to life, thanks to Sourav Ganguly and his team of efficient workers, who worked very hard to make the start of the match come true and helped Team India to earn 2 points in the end. Team India has to maintain the winning momentum with facile wins if they wish to go into the semi-final stage of the Championship.
