The teams of India and Pakistan faced each other in the final of the T20 World Cup in South Africa. Pakistan needed 13 runs in the last over to win. Dhoni looked at Joginder and asked him to bowl the last ball. Joginder also came forward and took the ball. His first ball was wide. Came back next ball and no runs were scored. Misbah-ul-Haq scored a great six off the second ball. After that, the Indian fans were left breathless. From here, Pakistan needed six runs to win while the Indian team needed one wicket. Joginder bowled the next full-length ball and Misbah tried to play a scoop over short fine leg but he failed and was caught by fielder S. Sreesanth. Afterwards, the Indian team’s joy was visible.
