It was the day for semi-finals. India is going to have a match with England it was going be really an intresting match. India won the toss and choose to bowl. It was 6th over England was at 63 with no loss. India needed a wicket that's when Swati came to the field and bowled the first ball. It was good ball with 0 and that over went really good 0,1,0,0,W,1. And that was first wicket for India. Other bowlers continued to take wickets further. England got all out only in 19.3 by scoring 233 and the target for India was 234. As I said it is going to be really an intresting match.

Ayush and Ishi were also grown up and were a crazy fan of cricket. 2nd inning just started. 5th over was going on and the score was 38 with 3 down just then Archana came to the field and in the first ball she hitted a six. After 2 overs another wicket falls and the commentators announced that Swati Nigam coming to the field. Happiness can be seen on Abhi's face and others were a bit confused

With Swati

She came to the field

Swati: Aru dono mil ke marte hai aur finals tak pohchate hai challl bachi fire hai tu
