India Vs Pakistan

Well, it was the big one today. The game that was more important than life and death to these two nations. Everything was on the line. The second semi-final of the world cup between India vs Pakistan took place today. Before the game India were favourites. I decided to lay Pakistan as although they have been playing well, I just could not see them beating India on their home turf.

India started like a a bullet train racing to 50 very quickly, then Pakistan fought back, taking a couple of wickets. At one point it looked like Pakistan would restrict India to about 200-210, but the final overs yielded a plethora of runs and India posted a modest 260. To be fair it should have been a lot less and Pakistan dropped Tendulkar 4 times!!!!.

Pakistan started well and even when they were 104/3, they still looked to be slightly ahead. However, theycollapsed and in the end fell short by 29 runs. If the dropped catches had been taken I dare say they might have won. However, it is a fine line between winning and losing and I think overall India deserved the victory.

During the game I managed to hedge out for £9.59 profit, so all in all, not bad.

Looking forward to the final and I think on the grand scheme of things, the two best teams are in the final, lets hope it is a good game.

Happy Trading
