Chasing 329, the MS Dhoni-led side were bowled out for 233 at the Sydney Cricket Ground on Thursday.   ( Also Read:  "Only one team can win": MS Dhoni ) Despite Umesh Yadav's four-wicket haul and some miserly bowling by Mohammed Shami and the spinners, Steven Smith's century followed by James Faulkner and Mitchell Johnson’s (27 off 9) cameos ensured that they set India a formidable target.   Although Shikhar Dhawan's brisk 45 helped India to a decent start, the defending champions faltered after the opener’s departure and were reduced to 108 for four. India faced an uphill task from there on and couldn’t recover from the early loss. While Ajinkya Rahane and MS Dhoni added 70 until the former was dismissed, India couldn’t keep pace with the creeping run rate and also lost wickets at regular intervals and were bowled out by the Mitchell Starc-led attack.   E...

With a comprehensive 109-run win over Bangladesh in the quarter-final clash at the Melbourne Cricket Ground India advanced into the semi-finals of the ICC Cricket World Cup, 2015. Rohit Sharma, who had been in patchy form on the tour, lifted India to a formidable total in the all-important knock-out game against Bangladesh. The stylish opener, who last scored a century (138 vs Australia) at the same venue, chose the big occasion to come good again. He held the innings together with a stoically compiled 137 as wickets fell at other end. He bided his time at the crease as he shaped the innings and changed gears later to capitalise on the start. He found an able ally in Suresh Raina (65 off 57) and their 122-run stand for the fourth wicket helped India set Bangladesh a 303-run target.   The Umesh Yadav (four for 31), Mohammad Shami-led attack then bowled the opponents out for 193 to take India into the next round.   Earlier, after beginning the game with a beautif...

India galloped into the quarter-finals with a six-wicket win over Zimbabwe in their last game of the league phase of the ICC Cricket World Cup, 2015. Left struggling on 92 for four, Suresh Raina (110*) and MS Dhoni (85*) scripted India's reply with well crafted unbroken 196-run partnership to chase down the 288-run target.

After Dhoni Elected to field in Auckland, Mohammed Shami, Umesh Yadav and Mohit Sharma put up a disciplined performance as they struck early blows and later reined the opposition in after the spinners had been bludgeoned by Brendon Taylor and co.
