T20 World Cup 2007 Semi-Final | Australia’s Fall of Wickets | EA Sports Cricket 07

India produced a magnificent performance to beat Australia by 15 runs and set up a dream all-subcontinent final against Pakistan at the ICC World Twenty20 in 2007. Australia threatened but India kept their nerve superbly to clinch another famous victory.

There was pace and swing as Sreesanth bowled beautifully. It was Adam Gilchrist that departed first, castled by a wonderful delivery that nipped back in. Brad Hodge didn’t last long, heaving one to short fine leg.

But the arrival of Symonds changed the complexion of the game. For much of their pursuit of 189, Australia were well in contention, with Matthew Hayden and Andrew Symonds muscling balls to the rope and India needed a hero, and they found one. Sreesanth came round the wicket and send Hayden’s off stump for a walk to end the 66-run partnership.

Australia were still marginal favourites with 41 needed from the final four overs. Symonds was still there, having biffed his way to 43 from 25 balls, but the moment Irfan Pathan pegged back his off stump with a delivery that evaded the attempted cut, the momentum shifted decisively towards India.

Harbhajan Singh conceded just three runs in the next over, yorking Michael Clarke in the process. When Joginder Sharma was handed the ball for the final over, 22 were needed. Michael Hussey was on strike but there was to be no comeback here. A miscue induced by Sharma’s lack of pace landed up in Yuvraj Singh’s hands at deep midwicket, and Brett Lee was then cleaned up by a yorker.

A tremendous team bowling performance by the Men in Blue!
