Today is the 2nd one day cricket match between India and Australia . As India has lost the first match of 3 match series ; today's match was the do or die match for India to keep the series alive .
Again Australia won the toss and elected to bat first . That time itself I feared that scenario of first match may repeat . So I switched off t.v.
Australia posted a score of 298 . It would have been different story in Indian cricket pitches to chase and win this mammoth total .
But it is an Australian cricket track . By watching the way Indian players played in the first match , I didn't imagined India may win this match .
But Indian openers Dhawan and Rohit Sharma succeeded in giving a sizzling start . By watching them playing , it was not a dream to chase the target .
After Dhawan departed , Kohli came . Kohli must be declared man of the match . He scored a century in tense situation .
But true match began after departure of Kohli . It is Dhoni who made India to win the match . The situation was too tense . In the final over , India needed 7 runs from 6 balls .
It may sound simple to score . The way Australian fielders were fielding , chances of scoring runs were very bleak .
But Dhoni hit a sixer in the first ball of final over !!! Then it was not a problem to hit the single run to win from remaining 5 balls .
Dhoni is a great finisher and his six in final over made India to win the match .
