Hip Hip Hurray! finally India wins the game in the Fourth ODI of the Future Cup Series just by 8 runs! The Aussies still have a 2-1 lead in the match, but the Indian team did it yesterday. It is yet an uphill task for our team, because we just have 3 more matches to go. The match started off with the best opening partnership of Ganguly and Sachin and they laid an awesome platform of 91 runs. This consistency and partnership lead the match to victory! Sachin and Ganguly were always known for this.Yuvraj and Sachin also kept the pace and Dhoni's storming 50 of 35 balls was terrific. India's bowling had 5 specialists and Murali Karthik also showed a variety of attacks. The whole victory was a joint team effort, and this effort has to be kept forever.
On the other hand the Aussies were great fighters too!Hayden's 92 was very imposing until his wicket was captured by Murali Karthik.Harbhajan took Clarke's wicket and Skipper Dhoni also took some smart wickets. It was just not a day for the Aussies. But they are great fighters and the Kangaroos can pounce back. We just cannot underestimate them. We have 3 more matches to go..... The host team has to play with the same spirit and enthusiasm to win. An exciting match indeed!
