Indians emerge victorious:

Indians have finally crushed the world champions.The Indians have emerged victorious in the finals in both the games and have proved the world that the Australians are truly out of form.

The Indians who batted first had a very good start.The opening pair of Tendulkar and Uthappa gave a very good start and scored consistently,until a score of 90's.That was when the foundation began to rattle with Uthappas dismissal.

Yuvraj followed up and scored eloquently,but got dismissed in his 30's.Certainly a series he wouldn't like to remember as far as his batting goes.Next in line,Rohit sharma who scored a staggering and gentle 66 in the last game made way with just a few runs.All through,Sachin batted consistently and was at the peak of his form.It was his day,as had been the last ODI.Dhoni scored credibly,and the middle order played and the team somehow managed to settle with a score of 258.At a position with no loss of wickets when the team was in its 90s,the score of 300 itself seemed easily gettable.The frequent loss of wickets created panic,and they had to strain to get the score.

On the Australian side,the run getters had been Symonds,Hussey,Hayden,Hopes,who scored in 40s and 50s.Praveen Kumar had a succesful day as he Managed to scalp 4 wickets,and the low bounce of his deliveries no doubt,shattered the aussie line-up.

Finally,after an enticing game,Indians emerged victorious by 9 runs.The Aussies never let off the game and fought until the final over until they were all out.

Bracken was the man of the series and Praveen kumar the man of the match.
