India won by 29 runs

• ODI no. 3147 | 2010/11 season
• Played at Punjab Cricket Association Stadium, Mohali, Chandigarh
• 30 March 2011 - day/night (50-over match)

	India innings (50 overs maximum)		R	M	B	4s	6s	SR
	V Sehwag	lbw b Wahab Riaz	38	32	25	9	0	152.00
	5.5 141.5 kph, Taufel has given Sehwag out and he's asked for a review against the lbw decision immediately. He didn't even check with Tendulkar. Brilliant decision from Taufel. That ball pitched just in line with leg stump, short of a length, and skidded on to Sehwag, beating the batsman's attempted flick off the back foot. That ball didn't bounce as much as Sehwag thought it would. He was on his toes playing the shot. The only doubt was whether it pitched in line, it did. Pakistan are ecstatic. 48/1
	SR Tendulkar	c Shahid Afridi b Saeed Ajmal	85	160	115	11	0	73.91
	36.6 87.0 kph, finally, they've held one! Sachin falls. And guess who's there to take the catch? Afridi drops to his left to hold onto a stinging drive at short extra cover. 'If you want the job done right, then do it yourself,' he's thinking. Possibly. Relief flows visibly over the Pakistanis as they gather at the fall of the wicket. Plenty of smiles out there now 187/5
	G Gambhir	st †Kamran Akmal b Mohammad Hafeez	27	55	32	2	0	84.37
	18.5 90.3 kph, Lovely stuff from Hafeez! Beaten in flight and stumped! Gambhir went down the track but couldn't reach the pitch of the ball. Panic. He then tried to stab the ball away but is now beaten by the turn. More panic. The ball has gone past him and he looks back, trying to get back but no luck. Kamran whips off the bails. India two down. 116/2
	V Kohli	c Umar Akmal b Wahab Riaz	9	20	21	0	0	42.85
	25.2 139.4 kph, Pakistan have taken a catch! Wahab strikes again! Caught at backward point. It landed on a length around off and angled away, Virat played a strange shot as if he was surprised by how it seamed away - Wahab hardly gets the ball to bend in - and had a weak waft at it. He just stabbed at it. Edge and pouched! 141/3
	Yuvraj Singh	b Wahab Riaz	0	1	1	0	0	0.00
	25.3 146.2 kph, Crashing full swinging delivery! Sensational moment! Wahab, who was kept in this game instead of Shoaib, has done the job. What a little big moment. Pakistan huddle is on. It was full, it was pacy and it swung in beautifully past the hurried stab and crashed into the stumps. Clatter! It didn't land at all. He just took the pitch out of the equation 141/4
	MS Dhoni*†	lbw b Wahab Riaz	25	64	42	2	0	59.52
	41.4 143.7 kph, well, that's one way to take the faulty catching out of the equation! Dhoni is rapped on the pad as he shuffles to off, huge appeal and Taufel has given him out! Dhoni wants a review though ... but it's not going to help, three reds as it pitches and hits him in line, definitely hitting the stumps and that's gone. India's hopes of making a defendable total are beginning to evaporate here 205/6
	SK Raina	not out	36	69	39	3	0	92.30
	Harbhajan Singh	st †Kamran Akmal b Saeed Ajmal	12	28	15	2	0	80.00
	46.4 91.8 kph, doosra, missed and stumped! Harbhajan jumped down the wicket and aimed for the straight boundary, but ran straight past the ball and is easily stumped by several metres. Ajmal the clear winner in the battle between the two offspinners 236/7
	Z Khan	c †Kamran Akmal b Wahab Riaz	9	14	10	1	0	90.00
	49.2 137.9 kph, gone! Caught behind, it was only a matter of time. Another enormous heave, this time he does lay bat on ball but it's a thin edge and safely pouched by Kamran. Five wickets for Wahab Riaz in a World Cup semi-final! 256/8
	A Nehra	run out (Wahab Riaz/†Kamran Akmal)	1	1	2	0	0	50.00
	49.5 from Wahab Riaz, Nehra's been watching too much of Zaheer! A big swing, nowhere near it ... but Raina calls him through for one! Kamran throws to Riaz, who runs back and takes the bails off, Nehra doesn't bother to dive, easily run out 258/9

	Pakistan innings (target: 261 runs from 50 overs)		R	M	B	4s	6s	SR
	Kamran Akmal†	c Yuvraj Singh b Khan	19	40	21	3	0	90.47
	8.6 123.9 kph, Done in by the slower one. And also done by his own favourite square drive. It was full and outside off stump, Kamran couldn't resist the temptation and reached out for his square drive. But he ended up slicing it straight to point. 44/1
	Mohammad Hafeez	c †Dhoni b Patel	43	66	59	7	0	72.88
	15.3 125.6 kph, What was Hafeez thinking? Again, yet again, a lovely 30 -40 and he has combusted. He went for a paddle sweep, yeah a paddle sweep, to a full delivery outside off stump and edged it to Dhoni. Oh dear. Pressure? or over confidence? 70/2
	Asad Shafiq	b Yuvraj Singh	30	61	39	2	0	76.92
	23.5 75.3 kph, whoops! Shafiq's gone. Too straight and a touch too full to cut, Shafiq went back and tried to, he missed and the ball skidded straight past him and hit middle stump, the Indians get into a huddle. He was cramped for room and short of time to play that shot 103/3
	Younis Khan	c Raina b Yuvraj Singh	13	44	32	0	0	40.62
	25.4 78.8 kph, caught at cover! A slow ball on a good length outside off, inviting Younis forward and into the drive. He takes the bait and spoons the ball towards Raina who leaps and takes the catch at head height. India are back in this ... 106/4
	Misbah-ul-Haq	c Kohli b Khan	56	134	76	5	1	73.68
	49.5 117.0 kph, there's the game! Misbah swings, the ball goes miles up in the air and lands safely in Kohli's hands at long-on 231/10
	Umar Akmal	b Harbhajan Singh	29	35	24	1	2	120.83
	33.1 86.4 kph, bowled 'im! Bhajji strikes straight away, it wasn't the doosra - more of an arm ball - but Umar played it horribly, neither forward nor back and swishing hopefully through the line of the ball. It nipped past the bat and clattered into the off stump 142/5
	Abdul Razzaq	b Patel	3	12	9	0	0	33.33
	36.2 116.2 kph, gone! Bowled! Munaf sends down a slower ball, another legcutter, and Razzaq plays down completely the wrong line to lose his off stump. India surge ahead with that wicket, they've got control now. 150/6
	Shahid Afridi*	c Sehwag b Harbhajan Singh	19	25	17	1	0	111.76
	41.5 98.6 kph, gone! Harbhajan sends down a high full toss, Afridi attempts to smash it baseball-style down the ground but the ball takes the top edge and swirls up for cover to take an easy catch. The captain departs, he had to go for his shots but couldn't execute that one too well. This is India's game now 184/7
	Wahab Riaz	c Tendulkar b Nehra	8	16	14	1	0	57.14
	44.5 127.4 kph, there's another one! Full and straight, Riaz swings mightily across the line but all he can do is send the ball straight up in the air, an easy catch for Tendulkar at cover. India are just two wickets away from a World Cup final. Pakistan are still alive, but only just. The pressure really told on Riaz there, all those dot balls made him feel as though he absolutely had to hit the boundary 199/8
	Umar Gul	lbw b Nehra	2	9	3	0	0	66.66
	46.1 130.4 kph, gone! Full, swinging, and Gul is struck flush on the foot as he swipes across the line. He asks for a review but to no avail, that's stone dead. Gul's unhappy day comes to an end. India are just one wicket away from a dream final 208/9

	WU Tharanga	c Sehwag b Khan	2	30	20	0	0	10.00
	6.1 134.6 kph, caught at slip! And Zaheer hasn't conceded a run yet. Zaheer pitches the ball on a length around off, forcing Tharanga to prod because of his line as well as the pressure he's created, the ball nips away from the left-hander off the pitch and Tharanga edges it. The chance flies quickly to Sehwag's right at first slip and he takes it before falling to the ground 17/1
	TM Dilshan	b Harbhajan Singh	33	87	49	3	0	67.34
	16.3 85.6 kph, gone! Harbhajan gets Dilshan! It was a very leg-side delivery and Dilshan went for the sweep, got a bit of glove on the ball and it's lobbed back on to his leg and deflected on to the stumps! Oh dear, what a disappointment for Dilshan but full credit to Harbhajan for building that pressure. 60/2

	27.5 87.0 kph, gone! Caught behind trying to cut! Yuvraj pushed this one across Sangakkara, whose eyes lit up as he went hard at the shot and got an edge through to Dhoni, who made no mistake. What a massive blow that is, Sangakkara was starting to look really good. And golden-arm Yuvraj does it again! 122/3

	38.1 84.1 kph, Yuvraj has a leg-before appeal turned down by umpire Taufel, and straightaway implores his captain to go for the review, Thilan went outside off stump on his knee for the big sweep, missed the delivery that went straight on with the angle, the question will be whether that hit him in line with off stump, it did, and is taking out middle stump, it is a rare occasion when umpire Taufel has to overturn his decision, this is one of them, and it is Yuvraj Singh for India again, he pushed Dhoni to go for the review 179/4
	CK Kapugedera	c Raina b Khan	1	6	5	0	0	20.00
	39.5 118.6 kph, the Zaheer slower ball, at 118.8 kph, consumes Kapu, he goes forward in a weak push that ends up in the air for a simple chance to Raina, at short extra cover, Zaheer just holds his arms aloft 182/5
	KMDN Kulasekara	run out (†Dhoni)	32	41	30	1	1	106.66

	0.2 128.7 kph, Given out lbw, and immediately reviewed. Looks like a goner on replay! Back of a length delivery on middle stump, Sehwag was rising on the toes on leg stump line as it skidded through. He was on the hop as he closed the face and looked to flick. Misses the shot. Was there an inside edge? No evidence of that. Was that high? Not really - hit him under the roll. It's hitting middle. Three reds. Superb start for Sri Lanka!

	6.1 142.9 kph, The ball that silenced a billion. Most of Wankhede is silent. Some of it is very noisy, and has Sri Lankan flags waving away in a frenzy. Sachin's World Cup is over. No 100th 100 today. Malinga gets another over, another go at a wicket, and he responds with a wicket. It's that patent back of a length ball outside off and as always, Malinga got it to go away. Sachin tried the same shot, last ball of the previoius Malinga over, trotting across and looking for the steer through the off side. This time he edged it, and though it was dying on Sanga, he wasn't going to put it down. He dives to the right and comes up with the biggest wicket of the World Cup. 31/2

	41.2 128.0 kph, No 100. "Needless shot," says Ravi Shastri on air and you can't argue with that. It was the shot for the crowds. He rushed down the track, got outside leg and went for the slog. Misses. Clatter! What a knock it has been so far, though. Under pressure, Gautam has delivered. BUt has he let the door slightly ajar now with that shot? He had the chance to slam it shut on the opposition but he has given them a whiff now. Wankhede crowd stands to applaud this knock in a World-cup final chase. 223/4

	21.4 83.0 kph, Dilshan! He's taken a blinder off his own bowling! Kohli drives and tries to get it back past the bowler, towards long-on, but Dilshan just sticks his right hand up in the air, almost in front of the non-striker's face, and plucks a magnificent catch! Could that be a decisive moment? It could very well be! 114/3

	0.2 to Sehwag, 128.7 kph, Given out lbw, and immediately reviewed. Looks like a goner on replay! Back of a length delivery on middle stump, Sehwag was rising on the toes on leg stump line as it skidded through. He was on the hop as he closed the face and looked to flick. Misses the shot. Was there an inside edge? No evidence of that. Was that high? Not really - hit him under the roll. It's hitting middle. Three reds. Superb start for Sri Lanka!
