Jovial are Pakistanis and Indians now but both will bust

Under all circumstances one eats sweets one eats dust

Steps are common for two but weaker falls wins robust

Trained & experienced are they equally & will combust

                                            F E W

Few not rather millions will see semi today as I construe

Excited rather ignited are both equally listen hullabaloo

Winners will touch zenith and the loser goes timbuktoo

                                        H O U R S

House is full for days together no question of any hours

Offered are few tickets in black to be bought by powers

Understandably Dhoni facing Afridi is not bed of flowers

Resolute are both equally and in game are superpowers

Sees Pakistani premier semi in stadium not from towers

                                           A W A Y

As bowler will run millions stop their breath to start pray

Wickets whenever will fall many weep others say hooray

And today’s winner moves to final and loser goes to quay

Yap will one but who I don’t know so wait don’t go away
