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
