India win a Nailbiting Final to clinch the 1st ICC Twenty20 World Cup

India lift the ICC Twenty20 Trophy after defeating Pakistan in a nail biting final

India powered by a superb half century by Gautam Gambhir & a late slog overs burst by Rohit Sharma followed by superb spells by RP Singh & Irfan Pathan saw it clinch the 1st ever ICC Twenty20 World Cup against traditional arch rivals Pakistan by a small margin of just 5 runs.

Misbah-Ul-Haq nearly won the game for Pakistan by carting Harbhajan for 3 sixes in the penultimate over & Joginder Sharma for a six on the 1st ball of the final over, but India kept their nerve under preassure, & Misbah fell while trying to play a slog scoop shot off Joginder & Sreesanth took the catch at short fine leg to end Misbah’s fighting innings & enabled India to clinch the Inaugral ICC Twenty20 World Cup and thus brought an end  to the awesome grand finale which was a fitting tribute to both these great teams who despite having suffered major setbacks prior to the start of this tournament, fought like valiant warriors at the Wanderers, and in the end it was Cricket the sport, which emerged as the Winner.
