6 memorable ODI encounters between India and England

#2 World Cup match at Bengaluru, 2011

Zaheer Khan brought India back into the match

In the group match against England, India won the toss and elected to bat first. With the help of a spectacular century from Sachin Tendulkar and some important contributions from the middle order, India posted a total of 338 runs in 49.5 overs. Chasing the target of 339 runs, England got off to a good start with the captain Andrew Strauss leading the charge. He along with Ian Bell looked set to overhaul the target. Comfortably placed at 280/2 in the 43rd over, England opted for the batting powerplay. MS Dhoni handed over the ball to Zaheer Khan and in a matter of minutes, he turned the match on its head. He first cleaned up Bell and then with a searing yorker sent Strauss back to the pavilion for a well made 158. England pressed the panic button and quickly lost some more wickets. Needing 14 runs to pull off a victory in the final over, they only managed 13 runs and the match ended on a tie.

If it weren't for Munaf's short run from the last ball of India's innings, Indians might have won this game!
