321 off 40 overs is one thing. Finishing it off in 36.4 is quite another.And that too after losing Tendulkar and Sehwag for relatively few. And that too at the fag end of a summer full of disappointment and discontent. An asking rate so ridiculous that it bordered on the impossible brought something out of India that hasn't been seen overseas from the moment Zaheer Khan pulled his hamstring on the first day of the Lord's Test. This team is capable of pulling off outrageous feats when they are clicking, and boy - have they clicked. This is an epochal moment in India's ODI cricket history. Keep an eye out for that man Virat Kohli. He's going to topple some batting records along the way.
what a match , and someone was saying that indian batsmen can't bat outside india subcontinent , well they chased down 321 within 37 overs .
and btw what an over it was...
34.6 Malinga to Virat Kohli, FOUR, 24 runs in that over from Malinga and his reputation as the best death bowler has taken a pounding, full but for the third ball on the trot, Kohli flicks it to the deep square leg fence
34.5 Malinga to Virat Kohli, FOUR, another low full toss on the pads, Kohli once again flicks it to the fine leg fence
This chase is almost similar to the 434 chase between Australia and South Africa in Johannesburg in 2006. Mick Lewis gave away 0-113 in 10 overs. Malinga is almost giving the same quantity of runs in this match. He is still not done yet.
34.4 Malinga to Virat Kohli, FOUR, Malinga has been annihilated here, another low full toss that curves back into the pads, Kohli flicks it past the short fine fielder and to the long leg boundary
34.3 Malinga to Virat Kohli, FOUR, Kohli is getting India home here, fuller length ball outside off, Kohli latches onto it and blasts it through wide long off for another boundary, that ball screamed for mercy across the track
34.2 Malinga to Virat Kohli, SIX, this is awesome batting, full ball on the pads, Kohli gets underneath it and lifts it non-chalantly, the timing is brilliant and it sails into the stands at deep mid wicket
34.1 Malinga to Virat Kohli, 2 runs, another yorker on the stumps, Kohli whips it to deep mid wicket and it goes into the gap for a couple, gets to his 9th ODI century, it has been a wonderful knock by this lad from Delhi, it is his 2nd century against SL and his first in Australia
42 runs needed off 36 balls to win with the bonus point. It is getting easier for India.
