India seek to level series in must-win tie

India will have to quickly connect their batting deficiencies and choose the composition of the team just as it enters the second and final Twenty20 cricket international against arch rival Pakistan in Ahmedabad on Friday, hoping to level the two-match series 1-1.
India suffered a five-wicket drubbing in the first game of the series in Bangalore after a middle-order collapse that saw the hosts struggle to 130 for nine after being 90 for two at one stage.
The hosts desperately need to win the second set to level the series and the pressure will be on captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni and his men to deliver the goods when it matters most.
Apart from Gautam Gambhir (43) and Ajinkya Rahane (42), all other batsmen do not apply when faced against a strong bowling attack led by Umar Gul experienced.
In fact, all terrain Yuvraj Singh and Suresh Raina were the only non-starters who have reached double digits.
India would have the likes of Virat Kohli, Dhoni, Yuvraj and Rohit Sharma to regroup and shoot in unison against traditional rivals who are equally determined to seize the T20.
The bowling also remains a persistent headache for Indians. Except Bhuvneshwar Kumar, who finished with impressive figures of three to nine in his debut game, none of the other bowlers could disturb the Pakistani batsmen.
Ashok Dinda, Ishant Sharma, Ravindra Jadeja all struggled to get wickets or even control the flow of runs.
The decision to leave out Ravichandran Ashwin in the last match was seen as a movement that works for Pakistan and Dhoni could be tempted to play with it in the must-win tie.
The Indians had chosen to go with three seamers specialized in the last game and will be interesting to see if they go with the same strategy or include a spinner.
Dhoni decision to go ahead with Jadeja Ashwin was also criticized.
"Ashwin was not there on that computer. So our plan was that if we play the new ball, then their spinners are world class, I know Yuvraj is in great shape, but when you do not have a world-class spinner, then we can dominate, "Pakistan captain Mohammed Hafiz said.
Moreover, given countless opportunities to Sharma also been the topic of conversation and reflection Indian can have a lot of work to do before they settle for the playing XI for the match tomorrow.
It will be interesting to see if the opportunity is given to Ambati Rayudu, considering his past performances in this game format.
Pakistan, meanwhile, lived up to its reputation of a strong bowling unit with three pacers specialists - Gul, Sohail Tanvir and Mohammad Irfan lanky newcomer - wreaking havoc on a pace-friendly Chinnaswamy track.
They would look to carry the momentum tomorrow when the track also Sardar Patel can not provide much help.
Hitting the visitors, however, has been a concern for them with openers Nasir Jamshed and Ahmed Shehzad struggling to provide a platform for his career chase Bangalore.
Even Umar Akmal reliable, Shahid Afridi and Kamran Akmal failed to get great results.
Hafeez and Shoaib Malik were the saving grace and hope Pakistan continue their exploits along with other eye-catching form.
Captain Dhoni had blamed the failure of the middle order batsmen to get the good start as the reason for his team's defeat in the first game.
"The hitters came out trying to play big shots. Could easily have scored 200 if we had applied" Dhoni had said.
Remains to be seen if the batsmen put a screen better now and not go wreckless shots in an attempt to accelerate the pace of scoring.
Dhoni himself will be under intense pressure from his captaincy coming under the scanner in the aftermath of the recent debacle Test against England.
He has always been seen as a better captain in the shorter formats of the game, but the recent defeats in T20 matches have certainly dented his reputation.
The defeats have come at home, where the team is playing in family and Dhoni has a tough task to lift team morale.
Teams:
India: Mahendra Singh Dhoni (captain), Gautam Gambhir, Ajinkya Rahane, Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Suresh Raina, Yuvraj Singh, Ambati Rayudu, Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Piyush Chawla, Ashoke Dinda, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Ishant Sharma and Parvinder Awana .
Pakistan: Mohammad Hafeez (captain), Nasir Jamshaid, Kamran Akmal, Umer Akmal, Umer Amin, Shoaib Malik, Shahid Afridi, Saeed Ajmal, Mohammed Irfan, Junaid Khan, Sohail Tanveer, Umer Gul, Asad Ali, Zulfiqar Baber, Ahmad Shahzad.
