The spectacular Men in Blue have made our country proud.” India’s men’s cricket team won a nail-biter final game against South Africa in the Twenty 20 world cup match on Saturday ,putting an end to the country’s 13 year drought in the global cricket arena..Both India and South Africa were undefeated going into Saturday’s match in Barbados .South Africa seemed like it had a chance of winning the game ,but India thwarted the team’s attempt to exceed India’s 176 runs .This was India’s second T20 world cup win ,the team won the inaugural T20 world cup in 2007 .It was also India’s first world cup win in 13 years in any type of cricket ,after a series of heartbreaking close final matches over last 12 months.” Guys understand when the pressure is on what needs to be done,’ ‘said Rohit Sharma ,India’s team captain. ”Today was a perfect example ,we stuck together with backs to the wall .We wanted this really bad -very proud of the bunch of boys and the management .Cricket is the world’s second most popular sport but many Americans are unfamiliar.T20 is an abbreviated form of the gam4e .In T20 match ,each team has 20 o9vers.In each over ,a bowler similar to a pitcher from the opposing team throws six balls for the batsman similar to batter to hit .Batsmen make runs each time they hit a ball ,which are counted as points for the team .There are two batsmen playing in each over. ”To get a run ,the easiest or probably the hardest way to do it is to whack the ball as hard as you can so that it crosses the boundary line ,which is the end of the field,” NPR’s Mumbai ,India ,producer Onmkar Khandekar told MORNING Edition .If you can do that ,then you start running between what they call the pitch .And the more you run ,the more runs you get.”
In fact Virat Kohali ,one of the team’s top batters ,played a key role in India’s eventual win over South Africa. The Indian team was in early trouble after deciding to bat first -they had only 34 runs in the first five over’s .This means that within the first quarter of India’s time batting ,the team had averaged approximately only one run per ball. But Kohali was able to bring that average up .When India was doing batting ,the score was 176-7 ,meaning that they had made 176 runs with 120 balls ,and seven had gotten out .Kohali announced at the end of the game that this would be his last time playing in T20 World Cup .Kohali pulled off an amazing performance in his final game ,scoring what’s known as a half-century in cricket ,which is when a batter scores 50 runs in the time his team was batting .When South Africa went up to bat ,the team looked strong ,they made 147 runs in 15 over’s in part thanks to Heinrich Klaasen .But once he was out ,the team started to falter. Marco Jensen scored only two runs before Indian bowler Jasprit Bumrah threw a ball that resulted in an out .In short Indian team created a history when it won the T20 world cup and defeated South African team.
