Cricket is a pressure game, and when it comes to an India-Pakistan match the pressure is doubled.

We spend three days of our last week in the HBL Karachi North Cricket stadium ,watching a very interesting cricket match. It was played between the teams of The Educator Dar-us-Salam campus and nasara schools.Both team were quite strong and the match was very interesting.

The match started at 9.00.am. But the spectators had reached the play ground from early morning. We were astonished to see such a huge crowd. The captains of the teams arrived in the ground only ten minutes before the fixed time. they inspected the pitch and then the players of both the teams were introduced to the umpires.

the first innings of the game started exactly at 9.00.am. On the first day,the Nasara school team had to field, while the The Educator school team was batting. the game become thrilling from the very start. The first wicket fell after the first two overs and Anas was out for only seven runs. now Rehan and Rafay started to play. They played very carefully,and increased the score slowly but steadily. At last at about 10-30 Rafay was out and Azhar place took his place.The game become more interesting when Azhar hit two fours. people clapped their hands with joy and the students of the two schools encouraged their players by raising interesting slogans.

The first inning of the match was over by 4.00.pm and the score of the both team was quite high. the second innings was played on the next two days. Thus the game continued for three days . On all these days there was a great rush. The The Educator team scored 561 runs in both the innings, while the nasara school team scored only 540. Thus, The Educator school team won the match by a very narrow margin.

The match was very interesting and everybody enjoyed the match and praised the players.
