India win series at Gwalior in the fourth one-dayer against Pakistan as a thumping series win lit up Thursday night. Due importance was not given to the dew factor as Pakistan skipper chose to bat first. Indian bowlers put in some 'extra' effort and ended up conceding a very few extras. On a pitch not very easy for stroke-making, Sachin played a pivotal role in the win and his domination of the bowling attack at the start of the innings could be seen from the fact that he scored 50 out of a team's total of 68/2. His knock plaited delectable boundary hits and he performed with artistry bestowed with distinct allure. Once again a century remained elusive, as the Great Master himself said that winning is more important than personal records. There were 2 century stands as Viru appeared in fine touch before an error in judging a single cost him his wicket. In all the 3 wins so far, (1) Yuvraj has crossed 50 (2) Yuvraj and Dhoni have figured in century partnerships and (3) The team winning the toss has lost the match. One could see from below that the number '6' figured very often in yesterday's match :
1. Match date total was 6 (1 5) 2. India won by 6 wickets 3. Pakistan lost 6 wickets 4. Sachin got out in the nineties 6 times in 2007 5. The match ended with a 6 (by Dhoni) 6. India won a home series vs Pakistan after 24 years (Total :6)
