Will India Win this Match?

Ind Vs Pak 2nd Test End of Day 4 Jan 2006 Faislabad

This will be the question in the mind of some of the Indian fans when the play start on Day 5. I know this is not going to be an easy task especially when you have seen that it took 4 entire days for the teams to get out once. But then if a few things happen the way I want them to happen India can still win this match.

First thing needs to happen is Younis Khan needs to get out early. Looking at Pak minus 2 batsman(especially Inzy), India have some chances on getting Pak out in the next 40 overs. 40 Overs will probably mean another 120-150 runs. What that means is India will need to score about 275 runs in 50 overs. On a pitch like this with Sehwag and Dhoni blazing India can have an outside chance of winning this match.

In the end however if Younis khan and Akmal plays well all chances of having a result might go down the drains and we will be stuck with another boring day of batting with bowlers taking another beating. But if a little wishful thinking can change the course of the match, I still think India has an outside chance of winning this match.
