Second Innings

The Asia XI would have had to break records if they were to successfully reach the target of 346. At the time, only 326 had been successfully chased in One Day Internationals.
They started well, but the World XI made the breakthrough in the tenth over as Cairns dismissed Sanath Jayasuriya with the score at 59-1. Sehwag, however, reached 45 before he was caught by Chris Gayle off the bowling of Shane Warne.
Fellow spinner Daniel Vettori finished with figures of 3-58 which included the wicket of captain Ganguly.
A partnership between Rahul Dravid and Kumar Sangakkara was formed, however Sangakkara edged Darren Gough behind for 24. Dravid was unable to build a partnership with anyone else and was left stranded on 71 not out.
The Asia XI were all out for 232 and lost the match by 112 runs.
