T20 Champs Teach Aussies A Lesson

October 20, 2007 | By Naman Bagga | Filed in: Cricket.

India proved yet again that they are the Twenty20 world champions.They convincingly defeated Australia at the CCI stadium by 7 wickets with 11 balls to spare.Here are the scores-
Australia-166-5
India-167-3

The scores tell the story and the match was always inclined towards India.The bowlers did an excellent job to restrict Australia to 166.Gautam Gambhir did a great job to give India a great start which helped them chase the decent total.He was adjudged the Man of the Match and won himself a Maruti Suzuki SX4.

Here are the awards-
Best Fielder-Yuvraj Singh who won Rs1,00,000
Most Number of Sixes-Yuvraj Singh(3) for which he won another Rs1,00,000
Best Economy Rate-Harbhajan Singh(4.25) he too won Rs1,00,000

Here are some awards which I would like to declare-
The Dark Horse-Robin Uthappa for his batting performence
Free Gainer-Virender Sehwag for his horrible bowling

What I would like to mention is that Ponting and Symonds are as old as Sachin Tendulkar and were a part of the Australian side.If Virender Sehwag consistently fails to perform India should seriously consider including an experienced player like Sachin Tendulkar in the T20 side as he is a much better all-rounder.
