World cup 2011: Bangalore: A tie match: Sachin: Strauss


27th march India’s 2nd match with England in Bangalore will be remember for many things, first it was a tie match ,Sachin’s 47th hundreds and then England captains one of the best ODI century. Both team shares a point each, both team neither happy nor sad. its like Happy v/s sad or sad v/s happy. This the 4th occasion when match tied in ODI world cup history. This match was one the most thrilling match in this ongoing world cup 2011 series. Excitement was on the high, fans were crazy inside the ground, load cheers for team India, all around India India !!!!!Go india.

India started slow but steady. As always our Virendra Sehwag started with boundry. Initially Sachin was very slow but watchful and by the time Sehwag started speeding up his innings we got out by a very fine catch by Matt prior. Goutam Gambhir came into the crease and he also started slowly. Both Sachin and Gambhir added more then 100 run into the score and then Gambhir departs. Sachin was still steady and with Yuvraj Singh he put of good runs in the boar. And then Sachin started showing his as usual class ,hiting five massive sixes. It was treat to watch Sachin’s bating as usual, it was a master class, Bangalore people got their worth of ticket.120 runs scored by Sachin and total scored reached 338 runs. India missed few chance ,score could have been better but still this was par score to defend.

England’s innings: lead by captain Andrew Strauss with Kavin Petersan they unlike India started with firework from very first over. They were going very well then Munaf Patel got Kavin ,he took a blinder. Then Trot also could do much and got out cheaply. But Strauss had some different plan for this match ,he keep getting run not much boundary but single twos were flowing very easily. With Ian Bell, Strauss played his best ODI innings of his life. Bell was lucky to get not from umpire as well as third umpire using UDRS, controversial decision but fact was both these batsman played our spinner bowler very well. They reached very near to target of 339 but when they took power play ,lost the rhythm when Zahir Khan strike twice in two consecutive ball ,match turned round to India. India got chance to win this match by claiming two more wicket by giving few runs. Last two over they need 30 runs to win and Captain Dhoni had very few option and he gave ball to Piyush Chawla.He conceded 15 runs in the penultimate over but still had chance ,England needs 14 run to win the match .Munaf came ,Shehzad hits six and they managed to score 13 run in the last over ,it is a tie. Match got tied ,it was such a cliffhanger after such a huge runs in board India couldn't stopped English man and English man lost a the way to win after jam innings from their captain. Neither captains were happy nor sad.

Match was very exciting, fan enjoyed lot with lot of runs, and Favorite team has time to worry about their bowling strength. It was evident that our bowling is very week; we could lose any match if bowler keeps performing like this. In order to win the match India needs to score always more then 350 plus runs which is very difficult at time. Let’s hope India does well in rest of the match and head to quarter with good result and win the world cup 2011.Jai ho!!!!!!!!
