AHMEDABAD:
Pakistan lost by 11 runs against India in the second Twenty20 match in Ahmedabad on Friday. The two match series was drawn 1-1.
India had set a target of 193 runs for Pakistan to win the match.
Pakistan got off to a good start and was in a commanding position but a spell where they lost four quick wickets bogged them down. Requiring 20 runs of the final over though proved to be too steep a task and the green shirts fell well short.
Pakistan’s Mohammad Hafeez scored the highest with 55 runs off 26 balls, followed by Nasir Jamshed who scored 41 runs off 32 balls. Hafeez managed to hit three sixes and six fours in the match.
Pakistan lost seven wickets, with three of them taken by India’s Dinda and one each taken by Kumar, Sharma, Ashwin and Yuvraj.
In the first innings, India's Yuvraj Singh scored the highest with 72 runs off 36 balls. He also managed to hit seven sixes of the match with three sixes on three consecutive balls.
Pakistan's Umar Gul took four wickets and Saeed Ajmal took one.
Yuvraj Singh was adjudged to be the man of the match, while Pakistan team captain Mohammad Hafeez was given the man of the series.
Pakistan had earlier won the toss and elected to field against India.
The first Twenty20 match between the two teams was won by Pakistan by five wickets on Tuesday in Bangalore.
This is the first tour by Pakistan to India since 2007.
The match will be followed by three one-day matches during the short series, which is the first since the 2008 Mumbai attacks.
