India's one memorable win from each edition of the World Cup

India vs England at Durban in World Cup 2003

Nehra's inspiring spell of bowling knocked England out in the 2003 World Cup

This was another crucial match of World Cup 2003 for both the teams. After electing to bat, India reached a good score of 250 on the back of contributions from Rahul Dravid (62), Sachin Tendulkar (50) and Yuvraj Singh (42). It was now left to the Indian bowlers to go for the kill on a seamer-friendly Durban wicket.

England’s innings started on a disastrous note when Nick Knight was run out by Mohammad Kaif in the very first over. Zaheer Khan took care of the other opener Trescothick. England limped to 50 for 2 in 15 overs. Earlier Ashish Nehra was introduced into the attack in the 13th over of the innings.

Nehra straightaway got into his rhythm as he had Naseer Hussain caught behind in his third over. Off the next delivery, Alec Stewart was trapped in front. Off the last ball of his fourth over, Nehra had Michael Vaughan’s wicket. By then he was unstoppable.

Nehra bowled unchanged for 10 overs and finished with figures of 6 for 23. The England batsmen had no clue to his outswingers as one after the other were caught behind the wicket and in the slip cordon. India won that match by a huge margin of 82 runs.
