Australia v India 2007-08 / Scorecard

India in Australia T20I Match

Australia v India

Australia won by 9 wickets (with 52 balls remaining)

T20I no. 52 | 2007/08 season
Played at Melbourne Cricket Ground
1 February 2008 - day/night (20-over match)


India innings (20 overs maximum)		R	M	B	4s	6s	SR
G Gambhir	c Hopes b Bracken	9	9	6	1	0	150.00
1.4 and now a soft dismissal, the ball landing outside off and Gambhir hardly gets any bat on a tame would-be-lofted drive to mid-off where Hopes takes an easy catch 12/2
V Sehwag	run out (Clarke)	0	5	3	0	0	0.00
0.5 from Lee, Sehwag's run-out at the non-striker's end, dropping down his hands, Clarke stopping the ball well at point with a dive to the left and a direct hit shudders down the stumps. Sehwag crashes his bat into the ground as he walks off, furious 5/1
KD Karthik	b Lee	8	9	8	1	0	100.00
2.6 booming low full toss, Karthik plays all around it and he just didn't see it, the ball skittles the sticks 20/3
RV Uthappa	c DJ Hussey b Bracken	1	7	3	0	0	33.33
3.2 slower ball, a touch of loop in at the right hander who waits for the ball to cross him and then drives uppishly to mid-off where David Hussey gets on the international scoresheet for the first time 20/4
RG Sharma	b Hopes	8	15	8	1	0	100.00
6.4 Hopes strikes with his fourth ball! The ball comes in on a good length on off, Sharma shapes to swivel a pull round, misses, and his off stump is clipped 32/5
MS Dhoni*†	c Lee b DJ Hussey	9	30	27	0	0	33.33
11.4 swivels in on middle, a touch short, and that's Hussey's first wicket as Dhoni stands tall and swats a pull to deep midwicket which doesn't quite have the legs 49/6
IK Pathan	c †Gilchrist b Bracken	26	41	30	0	0	86.66
17.3 He's gone this time, stepping back, exposing his stumps, and trying to crack a back-foot cut off one which nipped in, Gilchrist taking the edge 74/10
P Kumar	c Voges b Noffke	6	8	10	0	0	60.00
14.1 outside off, plenty of room, driven hard but aerially to a wideish long-off 60/7
Harbhajan Singh	c Clarke b Voges	1	5	3	0	0	33.33
15.2 swivelled in to the middle stump and a magnificent catch from Clarke, who's fielding has been excellent from the off, removes the batsman with a diving effort 63/8
S Sreesanth	c Hodge b Voges	0	1	1	0	0	0.00
15.3 steps down the track, outside off, to meet the ball that doesn't quite come on to the bat, shapes to drive over cover, takes a slight edge, spoons to gully and that's another terrific catch, scooped low 63/9
I Sharma	not out	3	8	6	0	0	50.00
