India made a
couple of changes to theiR Playing eleven – Yusuf Pathan and Singh made way for
Amit Mishra and Praveen Kumar.
Australia made half-a-dozen changes to the (Micha)eleven that last played the Indians – Adam Gilchrist, Matthew Hayden, Clarke, Andrew Symonds, Nathan Bracken and Stuart Clark made for Shane Watson, Tim Paine, Cameron White, Callum Ferguson, Nathan Hauritz and Peter Siddle.
On winning the toss, Ricky Ponting, Australia’s skipper, chose to bat. Watson had no reason to be in seventh heaven – he didn’t get off the mark. Fourteen balls into the match, he was caught by Harbhajan Singh. Ashish Nehra broke the three-run stand.
The second Powerplay of Australia’s innings was between the 11th and the 15th over. They scored 50 off 10.1 overs (64 balls). India had conceded three extras at that point.
The second-wicket pair put on 50 off 52 balls. While Paine’s contribution to the partnership was 28, Ponting’s contribution to it was 20. Extras’ contribution to the partnership was a couple.
Paine’s half-century – which included seven boundaries and a six – came off 51 balls. Sixteen overs into the match, the first drinks break was taken. Australia had scored 84 for the loss of a wicket at that point. While Paine was batting on 54, Ponting was batting on 27.
Paine eventually faced 58 balls, scoring 56. Eighty-six balls after Watson’s dismissal, he was caught by Harbhajan. Mishra broke the 84-run partnership.
Australia scored 100 off 19.2 overs (119 balls). India had conceded three extras at that point. The third-wicket pair put on 50 off 57 balls. While Ponting’s contribution to the partnership was 21, Michael Hussey’s contribution to it was 29. Extras didn’t contribute to the partnership.
Ponting’s half-century – which included three boundaries and a six – came off 67 balls. Australia scored 150 off 28.1 overs (172 balls). India had conceded three extras at that point.
The third-wicket pair put on 88. Ponting, whose 88-ball innings included four boundaries and a six, eventually scored 65. Ninety-seven balls after Paine’s dismissal, Gautam Gambhir ran him out.
A hundred and ninety-seven balls into the match, the second drinks break was taken. Australia had scored 175 for the loss of three wickets at that point. Hussey was batting on 49. His half-century – which included four boundaries – came off 45 balls.
The third Powerplay of Australia’s innings was between the 36th and the 40th over. They scored 200 off 36.3 overs (224 balls). The number of extras India had conceded at that point gave them no reason to be in seventh heaven.
The fourth-wicket pair put on 50 off 45 balls. While Hussey’s contribution to the partnership was 18, White’s contribution to it was 30. Extras’ contribution to the partnership was four.
Hussey’s 65-ball (Sach)innings included five boundaries, eventually scored 67. Forty-four balls after Ponting’s dismissal, he was caught by Tendulkar. Ishant Sharma broke the 52-run partnership.
White, whose 30-ball innings included a couple of boundaries and a six, eventually scored 35. He was unbeaten, as was Ferguson, who had no reason to be in seventh heaven – he scored just a couple.
India eventually conceded nine extras. Australia scored 234 for the loss of four wickets off 42.3 overs, before the match was interrupted by rain (as a result of which it was abandoned).
Suresh Raina bowled a wicketless over, conceding eight. Kumar bowled eight wicketless overs, conceding 34. Harbhajan bowled nine wicketless overs, conceding 54.
Sharma bowled 7.3 overs, conceding 53. He picked up a wicket. Nehra bowled eight overs, including a maiden. He conceded 38, picking up a wicket. Mishra bowled nine overs, conceding 45. He picked up a scalp.
Both Australia and India shared a point apiece.
