The bunker called Old Trafford

News of the bodies of Indian jawans being deliberately mutilated before being sent back to India after the Kargil war broke out had reached not just every Indian town and village, the word had even travelled to Old Trafford, Manchester as Indian were set to take on Pakistan in a crunch super Six encounter.
While both sets of players engaged in a customary pre-match formalities where they exchanged handshakes, the atmosphere was tense."It was like being in a bunker," commented a senior Indian cricketer later. The tension showed in both teams as India struggled to 227 on a difficult pitch thanks to half centuries from Rahul Dravid and Mohd Azharuddin and a robust 45 from Sachin Tendulkar.
Javagal Srinath got the initial breakthroughs getting rid of Afridi and Ijaz Ahmed, but Saeed Anwar took control and biffed his way to 36. Azharuddin quickly summoned Pakistan's nemesis, Venkatesh Prasad. Prasad had done well in the 1996 quarterfinals in Bangalore and in a Test match at Chennai where he had picked up six wickets.
The move clicked as he picked up 5-27 which included wickets of Anwar, Salim Malik, Inzamam, Moin Khan and Wasim Akram in 9.3 overs to bowl India to a famous and emotional 46-run win.
