Australia v India

India won by 15 runs

T20I no. 45 | 2007/08 season
Played at Kingsmead, Durban (neutral venue)
22 September 2007 - day/night (20-over match)


India innings (20 overs maximum)		R	M	B	4s	6s	SR
G Gambhir	c Hodge b Johnson	24	37	25	4	0	96.00
7.6 what a catch! Johnson bowls it short, Gambhir swivels and connects well with the pull, the ball's flying hard and flat for six but Brad Hodge covers good ground, then realizes he's overrun himself, moves back and holds onto a very, very good catch to send him back! Immense effort and Australia have picked up their second wicket 41/2
V Sehwag	c †Gilchrist b Johnson	9	25	13	1	0	69.23
5.2 but he's gone now! Johnson bowls this one back of a length, the ball sits up more than Sehwag expected, and he gets an outside-edge going for a slash over point, cramped for room, and Gilchrist gleefully takes it 30/1
RV Uthappa	run out (Symonds)	34	38	28	1	3	121.42
14.3 from Johnson, Full and straight. Driven really hard towards cover. Andrew Symonds half fields that one. The ball goes just wide of him. Uthappa wants the single and has come down the pitch. Symonds grabs the ball and looks for the keeper. Gilchrist is not in position behind the stumps yet. Symonds lines the stumps up and throws them down with a rocket. 125/3
Yuvraj Singh	c Hussey b Clarke	70	38	30	5	5	233.33
17.3 Yuvraj tries to repeat the stroke and this time does not quite get hold of the ball. The ball sails high and towards midwicket but does not have enough on it to clear Michael Hussey. End of a terrific innings from Yuvraj and Gilchrist's gamble with bowling Clarke has paid off 155/4
MS Dhoni*†	run out (†Gilchrist)	36	21	18	4	1	200.00
19.5 Johnson to Sharma, slower ball just outside the off, Rohit moves to leg and has a massive heave but misses. Dhoni takes off for the bye but is short of his crease as Gilchrist throws down the stumps with a direct hit 184/5

5.2 to Sehwag, but he's gone now! Johnson bowls this one back of a length, the ball sits up more than Sehwag expected, and he gets an outside-edge going for a slash over point, cramped for room, and Gilchrist gleefully takes it 30/1 7.6 to Gambhir, what a catch!

Australia innings (target: 189 runs from 20 overs)		R	M	B	4s	6s	SR
AC Gilchrist*†	b Sreesanth	22	21	13	2	2	169.23
5.1 bowled em! Sreesanth pitches full on the stumps, Gilchrist doesnt move his feet an inch, instead choosing to fatefully play from deep in the crease, misses out on the attempted on-drive, and loses his middle stump! Big wicket for India! 36/1
ML Hayden	b Sreesanth	62	61	47	4	4	131.91
14.4 Biggie! Sreesanth comes round the stumps and powers the yorker in. It's quick, it's on target, it's just a bit too good for Hayden's ambitious shot. The ball sneaks under bat and uproots the off stump. This is a huge, huge wicket from Sreesanth in his comeback over 134/3
BJ Hodge	c Joginder Sharma b Pathan	11	15	10	0	1	110.00
8.4 gone! Wasnt a decent ball, pitching well outside leg stump on a short length, but all Hodge can do is swivel and pull it straight to Joginder at short fine leg! 68/2
A Symonds	b Pathan	43	37	26	3	2	165.38
16.4 Another strike! It's a big one for India as Symonds loses his off stump. Pathan is bang on target as Symonds backs away and tries to hit. The ball crashes into off stump and India are right back in this nail-biter of a game 156/4
MEK Hussey	c Yuvraj Singh b Joginder Sharma	13	28	12	0	1	108.33
19.3 short of a good length and outside the off, big heave to the on side, that one goes high rather than far, Yuvraj Singh runs across to wide long-on and holds the catch. Now surely that is the end of that. Big, big wicket for Joginder in a big over 167/6
MJ Clarke	b Harbhajan Singh	3	2	3	0	0	100.00
17.1 Yorker! Michael Clarke doesn't expect this from Harbhajan and has no answer as he walks down the crease and the ball just spears into the leg stump. Another really quality bit of bowling and this might just be the wicket that tilts the scales in India's favour 159/5
BJ Haddin	not out	5	14	8	0	0	62.50

B Lee	b Joginder Sharma	2	1	2	0	0	100.00
19.5 full, straight yorker and Lee has no chance as he has a big heave. The leg stump is uprooted and the Indians erupt in celebration. Another wicket as India really drive this win home 169/7
