Misbah-ul-Haq( Asia Lions Captain): "They played well and the spinner came after the powerplay and put the breaks and both the spinner did well. We lost the wickets after the 8 overs, the pitch was good and 170-180 was easy but they did well. Spinner(Pravin and Singh) did well and fielders also did well
and stopped the single so we short the 15-20 runs."
Gautam Gambhir (Game changer of the match / India Maharajas Captain):- "Robin got my life got easier. He took all the pressure from me. We should have won two last games but winning the first game is always a good feeling. I am not coming back to the competitive games(laughs). It is always tough to play the highest level of cricket. I was hitting the ball well, that's it. I think the 10 wicket victory has been very clinical and satisfying."
Legend of the Match(Robin Uthappa): "Well, much better wicket to bat on and we didn't kind of sense, and really hurt us in the last games but we put in good efforts. Yeah, well wicket was still gripped in but the tendency of the wicket is slower and the spinner is well an option to attack in the backfoot and my plan was to pull the balls. Very difficult to bat off Sohail's balls and I enjoyed it. Thanks."
Time for the post-match presentation with Nikhil Chopra..!
23:06pm IST| Indian Maharajas were desperate to come back in the tournament as they lost the previous two games due to their low finishing skills.
However Robin Uthappa and Gautam Gambhir, two experienced openers decided to go hard from the second over and to not take the game deep. The first over from Sohail Tanvir was too good for the India batters but in the second over of Mohammed Amir, Uthappa managed to hit a couple of boundaries to start the run chase on a good note. The third over of the innings from Tanvir went for 20 as Gambhir had hit him for a hat-trick of boundaries here and later Tanvir bowled 3 wides in a row and Uthappa made it 20 in the over. The capitalisation on the loose balls was so strong that Maharajas reached 65 at the end of the first powerplay.
Shoaib Akhtar started after the powerplay and Gambhir took 12 from the over. Misbah brought his left arm spin weapon back and Abdur Razzak gave 10 runs from that. The 9th over from Hafeez was a big one for IM. Uthappa went for three sixes from the first three and eventually the over rewarded 23 to the batting side. At the time of the first strategic time out, Indian were 110-0 after 9.
Later 20 balls were only bowled and the right hands-left hand duo piled up 49 runs from that. Robin Uthappa remained not out on 88(39) and Gautam Gambhir scored 57(34) to ensure their team go home with 45 balls to spare.
Earlier the Asia Lions scored 157 with the help of the Lankan lefty Upul Tharanga who scored a 48 ball 69 and cameos from TM Dilshan at the start and Abdul Razzaq in the end made the Asian team to score a respectful total. But no total was enough in front of the prolific Uthappa-Gambhir duo.
