Pakistan defeat India

Sports Reporter
Pakistan kept their hopes alive in the Akai Singer Champions’ Trophy when .they defeated
arch rivals India by four wickets at the packed Sharjah Cricket Stadium yesterday.
Left-handed opener Saeed Anwar smashed a match-win ning 104 off 128 balls as Pak-
istan. chasing a fighting Indian total of 239 for seven in the stipulated 50 overs, raced on to collect 243 for the loss of six wickets and with 16 balls to spare.
It was Anwar's 14th ton in the abridged version of the £me and his seventh at the sert venue. The southpaw, who was later adjudged man-of-the-match. played the sheet-anchor role in his side's chase after dashing partner Shahid Afridi was magnificently
caught and bowled by Indian off-spinner Rajesh Chauhan after scoring a run-a-ball 19.
Middle-order bat Inzama-mul Haq struggled to make 19, but it was wicketkeeper Moin Khan who shared a vital stand with Anwar to guide Pakistan home. Moin was unbeaten on 49.
Pakistan will take on England today.
Reuters adds: Four dramatic dismissals added to the theatrical atmosphere of the clash after India won the toss.
The first two wickets to fall were run outs which could not have been decided without slow-motion television cameras.
Saurav Ganguly and Saba Karim put on 31 for the opening wicket before Ganguly drove a ball back to fast bowler Wasim Akram who deflected it on to the wicket, leaving Karim stranded by a tiny margin.
Ganguly had reached 50 with his third six and added 112 with Navjot Sidhu when a quick throw from Inzamamul Haq enabled wicketkeeper Moin Khan to run out Sidhu.
It was four minutes before, amid uproar among the 15.000 capacity crowd. Sidhu was given out even though replays showed the ball had fallen from Moin's hand as he broke the stumps.
In the next nine balls two more wickets fell. Robin Singh, sent in to boost the scoring rate, was caught by Moin but only after he had knocked over the square leg fielder Manzoor Akhtar.
At 147. Indian captain Sachin Tendulkar was caught at short mid-wlcket by Inza-mam, who tore a muscle in his side as he dived and had to leave the field.
