ICC World Cup

[ORS]

Anyone following today's action in the final? I'm at work, so I'm tracking the score online.

 

Can't believe India is making it interesting coming down to the wire with a goose egg from Sehwag and only 18 from Tenduklar.

I've been following it since some of the opening rounds. I'm rooting for India but Lasith "La Slinga" Malinga is my favourite player overall.

[ORS]

Now Gambhir is out 3 short of a century. I suspect there will be 1 billion upset fans shortly.

[ORS]

India needs 36 runs with 40 balls and 6 wickets remaining. Interesting, and within reach.

[italstallianion]

Any power plays remaining?

[ORS]

India's 3rd powerplay isn't shown on the box score as having been used, so I'm guessing they still have it.

[ORS]

Looks like they'll use it during overs 46-50.

 

33 needed with 6 w / 34 balls.

[italstallianion]

If they have the power play remaining (which the batting team usually uses at the end anyway), then I think they'll be able to win. They need a run rate of 6 (1 run per ball) and with the defense pulled in, and with plenty of wickets to spare, they can start teeing off for the boundaries.

[ORS]

It's now 28 needed, 6 wickets and 25 balls remaining, with the power play on per the full scoring summary.

 

It'll be tight.

[ORS]

Singh with a 4, 17-6-19....

 

hold me.

[italstallianion]

It's looking good, but La Slinga Malinga is one of the remaining bowlers and he's 8-0-31-2 which is really good. India might have to chip away at him and hope to tee off on Kulasekara who is 8-0-57-0.

[ORS]

Singh with a couple of singles, 15-6-17....holding the line, which, as you mentioned, is what they need to do against Malinga.

[ORS]

Dhoni with a pair of 4's, 7-6-14. End in sight.

[ORS]

Dhoni swats a 6 to win it. Cup to India.

[italstallianion]

And boom goes the dynomite. India has done it.
