(Gambhir 49*) by 11 runs (D/L method)
In the end, it was probably afitting end to a solitary Twenty20
international sandwiched between South Africa's tour of New
Zealand,the Asia Cup and the Indian Premier League. In the end, itwas
rain that proved decisive in what was shapingup to be a close chase
and what could have been the highest successful one in T20Is. In the
end, MS Dhoni was once again left to rue the profligacy of his
medium-pacers and assorted part-time bowlers.
Gautam Gambhir had launched India's pursuit of 220 in a blaze of
boundariesbut even a total of 71 for 0 after 7.5 overs proved to
becomfortably behind the Duckworth-Lewis par score of 82, such had
been South Africa's dominance earlier with the bat.
