On a difficult batting wicket, the hosts scored 220 runs in their 50 overs.
India lost half of their side for just 93 runs before Yusuf Pathan joined Suresh Raina at the crease. The duo put on 75 runs together before Raina was dismissed. Pathan dominated the partnership while still playing responsibly.
He notched up 59 runs off 50 balls, slamming six fours and three sixes. The right-hander departed with India on 182. Harbhajan Singh and Zaheer Khan then guided India to a famous win. Yusuf, one of the architects of the victory, was deservedly named the Man of the Match.
