It was a thriller now doubt. Pendulum was swinging in favour of India and Pakistan as the match progressed. Dhoni (64 off 59 balls) and Yuvraj Singh (59 off 56 balls) tried their best but the rest of Indian batting failed to convert the starts. Umar Gul’s bowling was one of the reason for Indian batting underperformance.

The under-pressure Pakistan avenged their league match defeat and earned the trophy. Indians outplayed Pakistan and Bangladesh but at the end failed to finish for the top. Score card : Pakistan:
