Momen: "Pakistan made a very good score in the final and India have a very good batting line up. Hopefully it will be very good game."
Ashish: "is this same score AUS Vs India 2003 Final ?" Pakistan fell seven runs short of that.
5.50pm Pakistan will be very happy with this performance! They have put on a massive total on the board, courtesy a commanding opening partnership and then Tayyab Tahir's incredible 71-ball 108. India thought they had reeled things back in when they had Pakistan crumble to 187 for 5, with Riyan Parag striking twice in an over and Sindhu also chipping in with a wicket, but Tahir, supported ably by Mubasir Khan, took the game away from them. Mohammad Wasim Jr also played a handy knock in the end to take them over 350. This will be India's biggest chase in this tournament. Join Shashank in around half an hour for the start of the chase!
Tayyab Tahir, the centurion: "It was tough when I went inside, wicket wasn't that easy. Ball was a little old. With the new ball it was coming, but with old ball it was hard to play. With Mubasir we decided we will play long and then charge them when settled. When we lost wickets, I spoke to my partner that if we get bad balls, we will hit it otherwise we will take it long, take singles. When I went out it was hard but slowly I felt I could hit the ball. We lost the first game against them, but this is the final and we will restrict them."
"Rain is expected later in the evening, I suggest India keep DLS par scores handy when coming in to bat!" chirps Huss
Syed Abbas Hass: "Remind me of my childhood time when we used to argue if someone older in age would come in opponent team.." Good old days
Final over. Pakistan will definitely look to get past 350. Rana will bowl this
