Just 11 Overs gone and they are 6 down. Pathan must help Peitersen to stay for a long period of time at the crease. Great works SR. This story is great.
 
World XI in a bit of trouble here as KP is running out of partners.

Excellent work with the graphics and presentation mate.
 
KP batting nicely but he is running out of partners atm. Nice work with graphics and presentation :)
 
Pathan and Kp now had to the most hardest thing...stabilize the innings as well score runs to put a good target to defend....Pathan looked positive and he supported KP really well...KP and Pathan both went after Aussie bowlers...Pathan played some glorious strokes down the ground....he was smashing everyone for a boundary..but at the same time they both rotated the strike so that the bowlers dont get settle easily....KP was looking in his dangerous form...he played some great shot to his Hampshire team mate Shane Warne....Punter had to think a lot on his strategies now...bowling changes in the form of Hopes and Symonds were not effective....

KP and Pathan made all important 90 runs partnership...Pathan played a really matured innings...the most important partnership for World XI

Pietersen reached his century in the last over with a great uppish cut to Shane Warne...KP became the second man in T20 international history to score a century....first being Chris Gayle....
Warne striked atlast...Warne got his first wicket of the evening in his last spell...he got the wicket of Pathan who played an outstanding innings....Pathan was fooled by a short pitch ball no bouncing at all...Pathan was bowled by Warne..Vettori came in and took a couple of the first ball and wasted the last 2 balls of the over....

AT the end World XI were able to make 177 with the lost of 7 wickets in 20 overs....

great batting by kp and world xi are in strong postion looks like this is going to be a good match if aussies bat well
 
KP really did well to post a decent defendable total against australia. Can't wait to see how aussies go
 
It was a superb recovery in the end. This might go in anyway still. Should be an interesting second innings.. looking forward to it :)

Nice presentation. :thumbs
 
That was a superb effort by Pietersen and Pathan there. They dug themselves out of a big hole. Great works SR. This is going to be a very tight game.
 
World Eleven are now back n this match thanks to Peitersen and Pathan,Great presentation aswell mate.
 
Australia had to chase 178 in 20 overs....Gilchrist and Hayden opened the batting...Gilly's intention was to finish it quickly...the first ball he tried to go over the top but couldn't time it and got a couple...but soon he was bowled unluckily by BOnd...the ball was short pitched and it didn't bounce as much as Gilly expected and he was bowled...World XI celebrated....Aussie 2/1
