T W O

Trembling both cricket teams which I am referring to

Who wins who loses now is worrying not one but two

Opposes Pakistan rival India who also thinks alike too

                                          F A T E S

Final is now final for both at semi stage as Iqbal states

Admittedly this is always best game with history traits

Trillion could be possible though billion certainly rates

Excitement will increase from first ball in both estates

Soldered will be all before tv screens closing their gates

                                            A R E

Arch rivals when play supporters shouts are heard afar

Revengeful and ferocious they turn putting other in jar

Extinguish will never their anger even if one sprays tar

                                              I N

Indian eleven is in field but millions outside pray for win

Never lagged behind Pakistanis doing alike be out or in

                                         D O U B T

Decidedly as they qualified for semi only one will sprout

Other one toils hard to shine so that opponent gets gout

Under all circumstances one who wins call others as lout

Bulge wills not Pakistan this time and I can safely rule out

Tumultuous is the scene none knows who is knocked out
