and that's a win for India by 5 wickets. They also get the bonus point. Very good knock by the elegant Badrinath.

A little like in the match against Australia, here too, India's reply started badly and they lost 4 of their top order batsman for only 60. After that, it was Badrinath and Karthik who steadied the sinking ship. Together, they added 68 invaluable runs for the fifth wicket before Yusuf Pathan came in and smashed a few meaty blows to help the hosts gallop across the finish comfortably. But the man who kept his head while all around him were losing their's was the captain S. Badrnath. Once again, he showed why he is held in such high esteem. Thank you for joining us. Have a good evening.
