India 291 for 4 (Tendulkar 79, Dhoni 50*) beat Australia 283 for 7 (Hayden 92, Symonds 75) by eight runs
India held their nerves in the nail-biting final moments to snatch a dramatic eight-run victory in the fourth One-dayer against Australia and keep themselves afloat in the seven-match series on Monday. India's bowlers fought back from a blistering opening by Matthew Hayden to snatch an eight-run victory and keep the seven-match series alive. Two of India's additions at Chandigarh, RP Singh and Murali Kartik, bowled superbly in the dying stages and Zaheer Khan held his nerve with a composed last over to secure the win.
The Indian batting line-up came good as they rattled up 291 for four and then stopped the mighty Australians at 283 for seven to reduce the margin to 2-1 at the Sector 16 stadium. The Australians were cruising along comfortably at 268 for five till the 46th over before two wickets in the span of two balls completely changed the complexion of the game much to the delight of a vociferous home crowd.
Batting first, India owed their total to some lusty hitting by Robin Uthappa (30 runs off 18 balls) and captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni who slammed 50 off just 35 balls. Sachin Tendulkar (79) and Sourav Ganguly (41) provided a solid start to the side.
Highlights coming soon...
