india's performance in the world cup was superb india won world cup by young brigade of Dhoni...
the world cup was played in South Africa And a total of 12 teams participate in it

india lost only 1 match against new zealand by 10 runs ......
Brief highlight on final are as :
India won the toss and chose to bat on what was considered to be a traditionally batsman-friendly pitch at the Bullring.
Umar Gul took the wickets of both Yuvraj Singh and Mahendra Singh Dhoni, leaving India with 157/5 in 20 overs;
only Gautam Gambhir (75 from 54 balls) produced a notable innings.
A 21-run over from Sreesanth swung the game towards Pakistan.
However, Irfan Pathan and Joginder Sharma slowed the scoring dramatically. With Pakistan needing 54 from 24 balls,
Misbah-ul-Haq hit 3 sixes off Harbhajan Singh in one over. Sreesanth was also dispatched for 2 sixes,
as Pakistan went into the last over needing 13 runs to win, with only 1 wicket remaining.
Joginder Sharma bowled a wide first ball, followed by a dot ball. Misbah followed by taking six off a full-toss; Pakistan needed just 6 runs to win from the last four balls.
Misbah attempted to hit the next ball with a paddle-scoop over fine leg, but he only managed to sky the ball, and it was caught at short fine-leg by Sreesanth,
leaving Pakistan all out for 152 runs. Irfan Pathan was awarded the Man of the Match for his spell, which included 3 wickets for 16 runs, including that of Man of the Series, Shahid Afridi......
Have a nice day Jaspal..............
