24th Match, Group E: India v South Africa at Nottingham, Jun 16, 2009

ICC World Twenty20 - 24th match, Group E

India v South Africa

South Africa won by 12 runs

T20I no. 113 | 2009 season
Played at Trent Bridge, Nottingham (neutral venue)
16 June 2009 - day/night (20-over match)


South Africa innings (20 overs maximum)		R	M	B	4s	6s	SR
GC Smith*	c Jadeja b Harbhajan Singh	26	37	26	2	0	100.00
8.3 Harbhajan has lured Smith to his demise. Smith was charging out, Harbhajan slowed up the pace, retained the flight but got it to dip rapidly on Smith who lunged out in the end, trying to drag it to the on side and top-edging it high to midwicket. Harbhajan pumps his fist. 59/2
HH Gibbs	b Singh	5	7	3	1	0	166.66
1.4 ah! the commentator's curse. He gets a fatal inside edge. It was a heavily packed off-side as Dhoni had moved an extra fielder after the previous four and Gibbs went for the leg side. Mistake. It wasn't all that short and it was outside off stump, Gibbs went for the pull and dragged it back to his stumps. 13/1
AB de Villiers	c & b Jadeja	63	56	51	7	0	123.52
17.2 AB falls after a very fine knock on a sharply turning track. He rushed down the track, didn't reach the pitch and tried to adjust with a big slog sweep but the ball turned to get the leading edge. Jadeja back-pedaled to get under the ball. 110/4
JP Duminy	st †Dhoni b Raina	10	20	15	0	0	66.66
14.4 Stumped! Duminy, who never looked in on this spin track, was beaten in the flight as he lunged forward before he was beaten by the turn. Dhoni did the rest. Seeing Duminy struggle, you just have to nod in admiration at how well AB has played on this spin track. 98/3
MV Boucher†	c Singh b Khan	11	17	15	1	0	73.33
19.2 Caught at the long-off boundary. It was full, it was the slower one, and it was around the off stump, Bouch flayed it hard and high to left of RP who holds a good catch running around the boundary. 120/5
JA Morkel	not out	8	13	8	1	0	100.00

J Botha	not out	4	3	2	1	0	200.00

Extras	(lb 2, w 1)	3

India innings (target: 131 runs from 20 overs)		R	M	B	4s	6s	SR
G Gambhir	c Duminy b Botha	21	27	19	3	0	110.52
6.2 And spin does the trick right away. It was flighted around the off stump, Gambhir tried to chip it over extra cover but the ball spun to take the edge and flew towards deep cover 48/1
RG Sharma	c Steyn b Duminy	29	39	28	3	0	103.57
9.5 SA are doing superbly here. Rohit falls to a spinner now. Very risky shot. He shuffled outside off stump and tried to flick it from there but ended up slicing a dolly of a catch to backward point. 56 for 3 and they are wobbling here. Enter the captain. 56/3
SK Raina	c M Morkel b Botha	3	7	8	0	0	37.50
8.6 Spin is king on this wicket. Botha lured Raina into the big hit with a well flighted delivery on the middle and leg stump. Raina went for the big slog sweep but was done in by the turn to edge it high to long-on. Gone! Another failure for the young man. 55/2
Yuvraj Singh	c †Boucher b Steyn	25	47	25	1	1	100.00
18.2 Big wicket. It was a similar delivery to the previous one; another yorker length delivery outside off stump, Yuvraj tries to square drive initially, gets the bat down in a hurry in the end to jab it away and it deflected to Boucher who dived to his left to take it. The bowler appeals for a catch. Bowden is not sure and goes upstairs. The ball bounced just before the bat hit the ground and the ball took the edge to Boucher, who took it cleanly. The verdict is out. 106/7
MS Dhoni*†	run out (†Boucher/M Morkel)	5	11	12	0	0	41.66
12.6 M Morkel to Yuvraj Singh, Dhoni is run out. Yuvraj is stunned that Dhoni even ran for it. It slipped down the leg side, a wide, it runs to Boucher who doesn't collect it cleanly but the ball didn't roll away too far from him. He just took couple of steps and he had the ball. Dhoni was more than half-way down the track and Boucher relayed the throw to the bowler who took a few steps before calmly under-arming a direct hit at the non-striker's end. Yuvraj looks very surprised. 67/4
YK Pathan	c de Villiers b van der Merwe	0	2	2	0	0	0.00
13.3 South Africa climb all over India who spin away towards the abyss. Yuvraj stands alone. It was flighted delivery around the off stump, perhaps stopped a touch on Yusuf who pushed it tamely to cover. South Africa roar. 69/5
Harbhajan Singh	c de Villiers b Botha	14	18	15	1	1	93.33
17.2 Botha takes out Harbhajan with another full dipping toss. Harbhajan swung it straight to midwicket 100/6
RA Jadeja	not out	7	14	6	0	0	116.66

Z Khan	c de Villiers b Steyn	4	1	3	0	0	133.33
18.5 Zaheer holes out to AB at long-on. It was full, not yorker length, and Zaheer got under the ball and lofted it high but couldn't clear AB. And then they were two. 110/8
RP Singh	not out	2	4	2	0	0	100.00

Pakistan's cricket chief left Friday on a South Asian tour to try to win support in his battle against the ICC's decision to strip the country of its World Cup matches, an official said.

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has legally challenged last month's decision by the International Cricket Council to move the country's 14 World Cup 2011 matches due to the "uncertain security situation."

The PCB said the decision to remove Pakistan as a co-host contravened ICC articles and the 2006 agreement that awarded the competition jointly to Bangladesh, India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka.

PCB chairman Ijaz Butt flew first to Sri Lanka Friday following former ICC president Ehsan Mani's suggestion to keep "back-channel communications" with the ICC and its member countries open throughout the dispute.

Butt will meet Sri Lanka Cricket interim committee head Somachandra De Silva in Colombo and then travel to Delhi to meet ICC vice president Sharad Pawar on Monday regarding the World Cup decision, PCB chief operating officer Salim Altaf told AFP.

The PCB has complained to the ICC that the World Cup move was legally flawed and on Tuesday sent a letter to ICC Dispute Resolution Committee.

It also warned the matter could be taken to the Court of Arbitration of Sports (CAS) -- a global body based in Switzerland to solve sports related disputes -- if the need arises.

Altaf said Butt was also due to visit Bangladesh before going to South Africa to attend the semi-finals and final of the Indian Premier League.

"The chairman will also meet the head of the Bangladesh Cricket Board and will visit South Africa where he is due to meet the officials of various other boards," said Altaf.

Following the ICC decision, co-hosts India will now have 29 matches including a semi-final and the final, while Sri Lanka will host 12 matches with one-semi-final, and Bangladesh will hold eight matches and the opening ceremony.
