India clinches ICC T20 WC trophy by upsetting Pakistan

JOHANNESBURG: Keeping the legacy “India have never lost to Pakistan in the World Cup” alive, India clinched ICC Twenty20 world Cup trophy by upsetting Pakistan in the final at the Wanderers on Monday.
Misbah-ul-Haq of Pakistan managed to steer Pakistan from worst defeat but he too could not help Pakistan to win the ICC Twenty20 world Cup final.
Pakistani bowlers and fielders had restricted India to 157 runs but the batting line of Pakistan utterly failed in the final.
Mahendra Singh Dhoni's young Team India snatched the inaugural Twenty20 world title after defeating arch-rivals Pakistan by five runs in a rousing final.
The Indians, restricted to 157-5 after electing to take first strike in good batting conditions, fought back to bowl out valiant Pakistan for 152 before a sell-out crowd of 32,000 at the Wanderers here
