Hello and welcome to Cricinfo's coverage of the final of the ICC World Twenty20.

It's India versus Pakistan and no-one could have scripted a bigger finish to this tournament.

I'm Anand Vasu and I'll be your commentator for this game, along with Jamie Alter.

The early news concerns the two teams. Virender Sehwag has not recovered from his groin injury and will have to miss this game. He is replaced by Dinesh Karthik.

Pakistan have also made one change, bringing in Yasir Arafat in place of Fawad Alam.

Our man at the ground is S Rajesh and he says: "The atmosphere is building up, and the support for India is much more than for Pakistan at the moment."

Rajesh is hard at work but he tells us: "It's a pretty hot day here, and there are already queues at the beer counters"

The pitch looks absolutely flat, and everything points towards an absolute run-feast.

"Plenty of locals at the ground too, even though South Africa are not playing today," says Rajesh. "I guess it shows the appeal of Twenty20 cricket - it's much easier to be a neutral fan here. There are still some empty seats around, but today being a national holiday - it's National Heritage Day - the ground should fill up pretty soon"

The two captains are now walking out for the toss.

India has won the toss and has decided to bat.

[------]

:salamext:

Dhoni calls heads and it is a head. India have won the toss and chosen to bat against Pakistan.

Dhoni says that Sehwag still has a groin niggle and will be replaced by Yusuf Pathan the all-rounder. He says India will stick to their strategy of batting first and putting a good score on the board. Dhoni thinks 180 is a good score.

Shoaib Malik, for his part, says he's not too disappointed at losing the toss. He would have bowled first in any case. His aim is to keep India down to 150-160.

Inshaa Allaah :D

13.3

Umar Gul to Yuvraj Singh, OUT, Gone! That's the big one for Pakistan. Yuvraj, who was a bit quiet against the spinners targets Umar Gul.

Yuvraj goes for a big pull to a ball that's banged in about halfway down the pitcth. The ball gets a bit big on the batsman and takes the top edge and goes straight up in the air. Gul takes no chances, calls the catch his own and settles comfortably under it. That's a huge wicket for Pakistan in this big final

[yeh but we need to get GAMBHIR out coz he's made 62 runs off 44 balls :-\]

[------]

:salamext:

15.2

Umar Gul to Dhoni, OUT, Gul on fire!

Another big, big wicket for Pakistan as Dhoni has an almighty heave at a full ball and does not quite make contact. The ball is coming in with the angle and homing in on the stumps. If Dhoni had connected that was going out of the ground.

As it happens the stumps are shattered and it is Dhoni who has to leave the playing arena

[GET GAMBHIR OUT GUL!!! :ooh:]

[------]

:salamext:

17.3

Umar Gul to Gambhir, SIX Release! Gambhir lines this one up and hits it baseball style over the leg side. That's off the meat of the bat. Powerful drive over the leg side and the ball thuds into the scoreboard!

[oh come on.... :-\]

[------]

:salamext:

WOO HOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

17.6

Umar Gul to Gambhir, OUT, Another! low full-toss on the pads, another attempted yorker. Gambhir anticipates the length and plays the paddle sweep. The ball flies to Mohammad Asif at short fine-leg and he takes a sharp catch. India's topscorer is gone and this innings is fast losing momentum

G Gambhir c Mohammad Asif b Umar Gul 75 (54b 8x4 2x6) SR: 138.88

[------]

:salamext:

INDIA = 157/5

Pakistan's bowlers have done a tremendous job in the first half of this game. India have been kept down to 157 but at least they have some runs on the board. Gul with 3 for 28 from 4 overs was the best bowlers on the day.

Now it's over to India's bowlers and Pakistan's batsmen. The action will resume in about ten minutes.

[abbas_ali]

Oh Dear, The batsmen started off ok but now its gone a bit downhill. Afridi out for 0! :(

Plus 13 overs already bowled! :muddlehea

[The Ruler]

India won.

[AmarFaisal]

I liked the match, atleast Pakistan didn't gie it to them easily, and it all goes to Misbah. Thought, he got out so close, but all doesn't go well always:)
