On Saturday, a ball from Kuldeep Yadav, the chinaman bowler, pitched outside the off, jumped, turned, beat the bat, and ended up down the legside – Umpire called it a wide – one felt too harsh for a great delivery. English batsmen could not read him properly but still India lost the match, which was sealed in the penultimate over of Hooda, whom Vijay Zol chose to bowl. Indiahad earlier won all their group matches; in one of them – India crushed minnows Papua New Guinea by 245 runs. Opting to bat in their last league match, the defending champions posted a mammoth 301 for six, before bowling out their hapless opponents for just 56 in 28.2 overs at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium. Defending a big total on what did not seem like the best of batting surfaces, left-arm spinner Yadav, returned impressive figures of 4/10 in8.2 overs. Earlier Afghan caused the biggest upset beating Australia – scoring 253 and restricting the stronger team to 217.
