India vs Bermuda ICC World Cup Cricket Match 2007
Group B, Match 3, IND vs BER: India beat Bermuda by 257 runs
Mar 19, 2007
India plundered Bermuda to claim victory by highest run margin and also achieved the highest total with the bat in the World Cup. Bermuda was bundled out for 156 runs. For India, the bowling attack clicked on the right time and the batting order was ripe with attack as Sehwag and Yuvraj peaking in their respective forms.
After frustrating Indian bowlers for a long time, Dwayne Leverock finally gave way. Leverock edged Sachins delivery into the hands of wicketkeeper Mahendra Dhoni. Leverock made 9 runs from 30 balls.
Needing a big victory under their belt after Saturday's upset loss to Bangladesh, India plundered Bermuda to post 413 for five in their Group B match at Trinidad on Monday.
Reported Earlier: Needing a big victory under their belt after Saturday's upset loss to Bangladesh, India plundered Bermuda to post 413 for five in their Group B match at Trinidad on Monday.
This the highest total ever in World Cup history and betters the 398 that Sri Lanka hit against Kenya at Kandy in 1996.
Barring opener Robin Uthappa, all the Indian batsmen tore into the Bermuda bowling. Virender Sehwag played an imperious knock to bring up a one-day hundred after a gap of almost three years.
Sourav Ganguly played patiently before launching himself. Sachin Tendulkar and Yuvraj Singh also made full use of the opportunity - bringing up smashing fifties.
Yuvraj also hit seven sixes, one short of Ricky Ponting's record of eight sixes in a World Cup innings.
Bermuda captain Irvine Romaine won the toss and put India in to bat in a Group B match at Trinidad on Monday.
India has made one change to their playing XI, bringing in Anil Kumble in place of Harbhajan Singh.
India Team: S C Ganguly, V Sehwag, A R Uthappa, R Dravid, S R Tendulkar, Yuvraj Singh, M S Dhoni, A B Agarkar, A Kumble, Z Khan, M M Patel
Bermuda Team: I H Romaine, D A Minors, O L Pitcher, D C C Borden, D L Hemp, J J Tucker, L O B Cann, M O Jones, K A D Hurdle, R D M Leverock, S D Outerbridge
Group B, Match 3: India 413 for 5 (50.0 overs) beat Bermuda 156 all out (43.1 overs) by 257 runs
