World’s best rivals confronting one more time.

As India Pakistan names come together, rivalry itself follows it. There are plenty of issues, where there is no result between these two countries, but cricket is somewhere different. One has to win in this. But it is not that easy. Ground turns into battlefield, but weapons are bat and bowl. 

These two countries have played against 127 times including 5 abandoned matches. Pakistan has edge over India in total. Pakistan has won 72 occasions and India has won 51 occasions. The last time these two played against was on 15 February 2015 in Adelaide Oval. 

27^th February 2016 (Saturday) is the day when these two will be facing each other once again, almost after 01 Year. As it is world known that Cricket never remains Cricket, when these two faces each other. It is not for winning and losing, although both countries fight for their pride. The entire world will be watching this game at the edge of their seats, whether in stadium or home. 

India started their campaign of Asia Cup with win over Bangladesh, but Pakistan is going to kick off their campaign against India, which is never easy. India is hot favourite for winning this game and lifting the Asia Cup. Afghanistan’s couch Inzamam-ul-Haq and UAE coach Aaqib Javed backing India for lifting the cup. Wasim Akram quoted in The Times of India “Yes, that’ll be a good game to look forward to and given the way India are playing right now, they’re clear favourites”. 

Although all the words and records are for paper. The team only wins, when they perform good on the day. 

P.S. I hope the best team wins tomorrow.

Asia Cup – ICC T20 World Cup is knocking on the door and keeping that in eye, the pattern of 13^th edition of Asia Cup has been changed this time and will be played in T20 format from February 24, 2016 to March 06, 2016 in Bangladesh.

India is beginning this series on very high note. Firstly the white-washed against Australia in Australia and then 2-1 lead over Sri Lanka.

Double Dhamaka in Cricket on Republic Day

26^th January, 2016 was one of the best days for India in 2016. Indians were fulfilled with patriotic feelings, because we were celebrating 67^th Republic Day. We remember our freedom fighters and pay tribute to them, because without their sacrifices, this day is unimaginable.   

With this happiness, two more good news followed us. Both were from Cricket field. Where early morning, Indian Women’s Cricket Team beat world’s number one Australian women’s Cricket Team by 5 wickets. With this win, India is ahead in T-20 tournament with 1-0 lead. This win put spark in Indian women cricket team as well as in Indians. Now India has advantage and can bring Australia in pressure.  

This was not enough for the day. Now Indian Cricket lovers had fixed their eyes on Men’s performance in Cricket. On the go, 4 losses in ODI had put India in shameful condition, but the win in last ODI lighten the way for Indian Cricket Team. The good thing of this win was that India will begin new format with win in their bank.

It is always beneficial to start with a win and it helped India to win their first T-20 against Australia in 3 Matches Series. Now India is one ahead in tournament. Explosive start from the openers, sturdy performances by experienced Kohli And Raina and power hitting by Dhoni in the end helped India to reach 188.

In reply Australia could only reach till 151/3. It means India won by 37 runs. Debunant Bumrah was again impressive with ball like last ODI. He claimed 03 important wickets.

So with this “Double Dhamaka” India finished their Republic Day.

Pretty Girl On A Rainy Day

Before kick off, Let me tell you that this is my first effort to write something like this, so I hope for appreciation.

It was a rainy day. Clouds were covering entire sky. Noise of rumbling clouds were threatening children. I was on my cherries Splendor Pro. Roads had become ocean. A dog was woofing on waste picker on the street and so many people were standing underneath a shelter and cursing congress for not doing anything good for the country as of now. It was long awaited rain, so my all concentration was on enjoying the weather. Cool breeze was kissing my face and raindrops were dripping on my cheeks. A little letter, I got my goose bumps.

                                                There wasn’t so much traffic on the roads, yet I was driving on a slow speed. All of a sudden, I saw a pretty woman. Her age should be around 22 to 25 years old. She was standing by the sidewalk and giving gesture to me to whoa. I somehow manage to stop my bike, because I was immerse in her beauty. She was breath-taking. Her hairs were blonde and spreading around her shoulders. Furthermore the fringe hairstyle enhancing her beauty immensely. She was tall and thin and her face was round. She had worn turquoise color salawar-kameej. There was hardly any spot on her face. I saw her head to toe. She was emphatically among the prettiest girl, I had ever seen. She broke my contemplation, when she asked me to drop her to the Rajeev Chowk Metro station. I was in dilemma that why did she stop me rather than took an auto? Before I could build up a mountain of questions in my thought, she brought me back on the Earth. She said, “I had been waiting for an auto for a long time, now I am getting late to reach my home. My mom would be really worried for me.” I understood her situation. I agreed to give her lift and she became the pillion driver. I did not want to lose such company, whether it was only for 10 minutes. We did not talk too much on that short journey, except exchanging our names. I asked her, “where was she heading?” She had to go on the opposite direction than me. I wished, perhaps we were on same direction. But sometimes happiness comes in your life for a very short period. I dropped her on destination. She greeted me with her precious smile and descended the staircase. In a few minutes later, she got vanish. I also headed towards the way of my home. Rain had stopped now. Number of vehicles had increased on the roads. Honk of vehicles were bothering everyone, but not me because I was wallow in thoughts of the pretty girl.

Hope you liked it.

Thanks!
