Match set.. Clash between the "Best Bowling Attack" Vs "Best Batting Attack".. Ultimately only one can be victorious at the end of the day. And who was that? It was the mighty Aussies, mainly due to the slam bang hitting of Watson and Warner(MOM), which yielded them a 49 run victory over India in the first Super-8 encounter.
W for Wictory
Australia won the toss and elected to bat. Harbajan started the bowling for India. First over was maiden. It was just an indicator for "Silence before storm." Watson and Warner then stromed into the Indian Bowling attact to bring 104 run stand between them. Jadeja was severe on the receiving side. Both Watson and Warner hit Jadeja for 3 consecutive sixes in two overs. Aussies scored only 24 runs in the last 4 overs and eventually reached 184/5
Lone Charger
When India stepped in for batting,their target was as mighty as ever. So they have to pile up maximum runs in their first 6 overs. In that process, they lost their top 4 batsmen for just 23 runs in 5 overs. Hopes of victory faded for Indians. However Rohit sharma was lone fighter scoring 79 runs in 46 balls and remained not out, leaving the selectors a strong message with is bat. India were bowled out for 135 in 17.4 overs.
India now should win both the encounters against Sri Lanka and West Indies to enter the semis.
