Twenty20 World Cup Final - India vs Pakistan



First Twenty20 world cup final..... and its between bitter rivals India and Pakistan....... wowwwww, great.

The final at the Wanderers in Johannesburg on Monday will be the first major title clash between India and Pakistan since the limited-overs world championship of cricket in Melbourne in 1985.

Less than six months after both sides returned in disgrace from the 50-over World Cup, where they were out in the first round only, with entirely new and young team, they reach the finals of Twenty20 world cup.

Rookie Pakistan skipper Shoaib Malik and incoming India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni have the chance to lift a major trophy after a tournament that has packed in more thrills and close finishes.

"India-Pakistan is always a huge competition. It's just like a dream for us," said hero of the
semifinal forIndia Yuraj Singh after smashing 70 off just 30 balls.

Any team can win the final, as both the teams are young, but it is going to be a exciting and thrilling final between two arch-rivals.

Players to watch in the final are Yuraj Singh from India and Shahid Afridi from Pakistan.
