Opting to bat first on a placid wicket, Virender Sehwag set the tone for India blazing his way to a 102-ball 146 that contained 17 fours and 6 sixes and was well supported by Sachin Tendulkar, who made 69 and Dhoni, who made 72 as Indias posted a mammoth 414 for 7 in their 50 overs.
On most days such a massive total would have been enough to secure a comfortable win, however, that wasn’t the case that day as Tillakaratne Dilshan and Co. gave a fitting reply, keeping in touch with required rate and giving India a real run for their money.
With 11 needed in the final over, Ashish Nehra bowled 6 excellent deliveries to restrict the visitors and clinch a thrilling 3-run win for India.
