54 Required From 4 Overs - India 6/121
India have the daunting task of scoring 54 runs from 24 balls to win the Twenty20 match against Australia in Brisbane. Sourav Ganguly (20* from 10 balls) will be the key for the tourists against the likely bowling duo of Andrew Symonds and either Michael Clarke or Michael Hussey.

Ponting Gambles On Hussey - India 6/135 (17.0)

With only 3 overs remaining and 40 runs required to win (at a run rate of 13.33 per over), Andrew Symonds (0/14 off 1) and Hussey have been trusted to finish out the match.

I think the game's pretty much over now,it was mainly the inexperience by the Indian batsman to adapt to this form of the game that cost them the match.
Kumble Caught On The Deep - India 8/148
Anil Kumble was caught at Deep mid off by Nathan Bracken only meters inside the fence off the bowling of Michael Hussey as India left their tail exposed with the score at 8/148. Kumble attempted to keep the run rate soaring close to the 13.33 needed for victory, but was unfortunatly only meters short of the mark. Hussey furthering his claims for a regular bowling place in the team with his 2nd wicket.

Hussey Picks Up 3 In An Over! - India 9/148
Michael Hussey completed a dream over with the wicket of Zaheer Khan for a golden duck to leave India only 1 wicket away from a Twenty20 international defeat in Brisbane. Khan was caught in exactly the same position as Anil Kumble was the ball before.

Harbhajan Singh and Ajit Agarkar face a huge task to win the Twenty20 clash for India at the Gabba. The pair require 27 runs from only 12 balls and cannot afford to lose a wicket against the bowling of Andrew Symonds (19th over) and Michael Hussey (20th over).
