India was set a target of 270 who could never chase down successfully a target of 239+ in Australia before that.

The top order provided a good start for India but during the middle phase of the innings, they were too slow. The skipper himself averted from taking any kind of risks and the match has gone to the wire. India now requires 13 runs off 6 balls.

Ravi Ashwin on strike and Clint McCay was the bowler. He misses the first ball and every Australia fan was delighted. The next ball he took a single and brought the skipper on strike with 12 required off the last 4 balls.

MSD didn”t look pressurized at all but this ball will be the decider, it has to go to the rope (Adelaide Oval has the biggest boundary in Australia). McCay to MSD- What a blow it was from the skipper’s willow! The ball comfortably sailed over the biggest boundary in Australia (112m). Then 6 runs were required off the last 3 deliveries and the skipper went for 3 to snatch victory with 1 ball remaining.
