Well, Then walked in Ricky Ponting who first played slowly. Even Tim Paine got out for 14 runs when Harbhajan Singh bowled him a ball which was a practice nets type catch to Yuvraj Singh.
Aussies were in Deep trouble, losing Two wickets just for 20 runs.
Then walked in Mike Hussey, who seemed to make a difference.
Punter and Huss joined 28 runs and then departed Huss for a great catch by Irfan Pathan, when Ojha came on to bowl.
Huss, of course got out for 16 runs, but played 45 balls on the poor batting surface, for which, he deserved some respect.
Punter, was too slow and came up to his half century.
Andrew Symonds, who walked in after Huss got out, played recklessly and gave his wicket to Irfan Pathan. Of course, he tried to go for a huge one but, it was Gautam Gambhir, who took an easy catch at the rope.
Cameroon White even din't last Long.
He hit some six runs and gave his wicket off to Irfan Pathan, when the ball had an inside edge, which hit the stumps.
When this was going on, Ricky Ponting tried to increase the score by hitting two sixes and 2 fours. But, the next ball he played was appealed by Yusuf Pathan, claiming for LBW, for which the umpire turned green.
Ricky Ponting, the man who played a captain innings was out.
Then, there was no nameable performances at the end. But, Mitchell Johnson secured that the Aussies will at least cross 170 runs on that poor pitch.
Target for India was175, for which Tendulkar and Sehwag walked in.
Virender Sehwag started off well along with Tendulkar for the first five overs, where Indians managed to score 36 runs.
The first ball of the sixth over was the one favoring Aussies when Binga claimed the umpire for LBW decision of Virender Sehwag, which turned green.
Then walked in Gautam Gambhir, who din't play well.
He just scored 3 runs and threw his wicket away to Nathan Hauritz.
But, at the other end, Sachin Tendulkar was fixed at crease.
Dhoni's Knock of 28 ensured Indian Victory as Sachin went bit aggressive by hitting a six and 7 fours in difference of 5 overs.
Dhoni got out when India needed 20 runs.
Sachin entered nervous ninties but the dressing room looked cool as their reqd. run rate was a run per over.
Sachin, of course, came up to his century, 2nd in this series, ensuring Indian win.

Man of the match was Sachin Tendulkar for his tremendous effort of 108* off 93 balls.
Yuvraj Singh ended 10 runs not out.

Guys, I just updated it. I actually don't have time for making Graphics and all the other stuff for the story.

Well, after a one sided One day at New Delhi, both the teams flew to Mumbai, The home of Indian Cricket.
Both of the teams got welcomed by localists and Sachin Tendulkar, who was to play the game at his home crowd was nervous as the match was scheduled on 15th November, 2009, a day, which made Sachin 20 years old in cricket and not only that, even, he had to get ONE run to get to his 17,000 Runs in One day cricket.
India was in a position of clinching the series but the Aussies were strongly determined not to do that as it was do or die match for them.
Ricky Ponting quoted

Well, its a do or die for us, which we have to win. And its official that Brett Lee would be moving back to Australia along with Cameroon White as they both have injuries in their respective ankles and they don't need immediate rest right now but we have two important home series' which are important for us.

As quoted by Punter, Brett Lee and Cameroon White returned Australia.
Replacing them, it was Clint McKay and John Holland.
Both of them joined Australia. Both the teams practiced well and Indian captain MS Dhoni quoted:

Well, we're looking forward to take the series away by winning at home of Indian Cricket. And, I have pressure playing at Mumbai as I here played last in May 2008 for Chennai Super Kings when the crowd "Boo"ed me. So, now, I'm expecting to have a "Hooo...." not "Boooo..."
Venugopal Rao returns but he might not be allowed to play match as we have to continue the winning streak.

Looking the Odds, It was Australia, who were bit weak when compared to India.

Will Australia win in this Do or Die encounter??
Expect it and win 10,000 vCash and remember, if you put the correct answer, I'll have a go with Lucky Dip and choose the winner
