India wins a Humdinger!!! Kangaroo curry for Dinner!!!

Chak De india is the only phrase that is doing the rounds all over the World now!!! What with their stunning performance in the semis by whipping the hell out of the Aussies!!!

Dhoni made a brave decision to start with by electing to bat after winning the toss... This was very brave on the team's part bcoz the Aussies have been absolutely ruthless in chasing away any score!! So, the optimism of the young
Bloods was evident on that decision itself..

After starting slowly India were precariously placed at 48-2 in 9 overs. Then, Yuvi and Uthappa staged a massive assault on the Australian fast bowlers... Yuvi continued from where he had left in the last match by bludgeoning the balls out of the ground on many occasions and incidentally setting a new record for the longest 6 in 20-20 by sending a towering six of Lee to a whopping 119m.. Then hitting 5 more to the fence and 5 more over it, Yuvi reached his 50 of 20 balls and continued in his barbarian mood... Meanwhile Uthappa joined the party by sending 2 of them out of the ground and eventually got out trying for the 3rd!!! Dhoni joined forces with Yuvi and continued at a rapid pace to post a competitive 188-5 in 20 overs...

Hayden and Gilly set the Aussie juggernaut rolling by targeting RP singh... But sreesanth stemmed the flow by castling Gilly with his pin point accurate bowling!!! Oh man!! What a wicket!!! Then, Hodge was snared by Pathan and now 2 monsters Hayden and Symonds started the Aussie charge!!! Hayden carting away 6's and symonds treating the bowlers with disdain... Hayden was hitting in such a way that even Boycott's mother would have gone for 36 runs in an over!!! So, a great piece of captaincy by Dhoni eventually got Hayden... Sreesanth was brought back into the attack and he sent hayden's stumps cartwheeling!!! Animated as ever before, Team india started to celebrate!!! Some stingy bowling by Bajji, Pathan and RP stemmed the flow of runs and eventually Aussies were running out of steam after losing Symonds and Clarke!!! But Hussey was still there... Last over 22 runs needed and in walked Joginder to bowl the last one!!! The first 2 balls were dot balls which eventually made Hussey meow like a pussy and pressure took toll on him as he skied the 3rd to Yuvi and long on to start an animated celebration by the ever so calm Yuvi!!! And Sharma completed the proceedings by castling Lee and India had emerged victorious by 15runs!!! They had made the Aussies eat humble Pie much to the delight of the whole of the cricketing fraternity!!!

So, India after beating Pakistan, South Africa and Australia start as favorites against arch rivals Pakistan as the Raging Bulls of India lock horns in the finals against the Angry bisons Pakistan!!! Both teams equally matched in talent and power!!! India have never lost to Pakistan in the history of World Cups... Will the jinx be broken by the Pakistanis or will India emerge Victrious again!!!
