this in 1997

India played Pakistan in the 2nd odi at National Stadium, Karachi in a must win match of the Wills Challenge bilateral odi series, which was played after 8 years between these two countries in Pakistan.
Pakistan won the 1st match comprehensively & by this, they made the remaining 2 odis of that series must win for India.

Winning the toss , Captain Saeed Anwar opted to bat & on a good batting track, Shahid Afridi, his opening partner made a merry of it by a blistering 72(56) with 9 fours & 1 six..

Inzamam Ul Haq also played his part in the middle order with 74(92) & Moin Khan smashed an important cameo to take over his team to a healthy total of 265 in 47.2 overs.. But the match was halted for 4 times in between due to unruly crowd as they were throwing stones to the players in the ground.. Some of the indian players were injured as well by this stone-throwing. Sourav Ganguly was one of among them .

Players were forced to walk out after the 4th interruption that brought an abrupt end to Pakistan's innings in the 48th over and India were set a target of 266 in 47 overs.

In reply, India went to a solid opening start as the opening duo Sachin-Sourav added 71 runs on the 1st wicket..

Tendulkar gone after after playing a short but quickfire 21(18) but Ganguly looked very much solid in the crease when he cut Waqar Younis to Deep point region .

Against the likes of both Waqar Younis & Saqlain Mushtaq , Ganguly & Vinod Kambli added 98 runs on 2nd wicket with a very healthy run rate to keep their chase alive.

Some of the drives Ganguly played against Aqib Javed & Saqlain were really treat to watch out..

Ganguly got out after playing an important & fantastic knock of 89(96) with 11 boundaries but chase was still on as still 97 runs needed to level the series.

Robin Singh held his nerve & successfully chased the score by 31(32) * in 46.3 overs despite of having little collapse in the middle order as Azharuddin & Ajay Jadeja both failed to score double digit mark .

For that excellent 89, Sourav Ganguly was adjudged Man of the Match which helped India to keep the series alive till 3rd odi.

Rangers have won 5 out of last 9 matches played in July and august 2022! Stay tuned for more details and updates!
