Indians outsmarted home team. they indeed did. on a placid pitch, Indian bowlers didn't allow Australia to score freely like they always do. Indian spinners (playing together for the first time in the tournament) blocked Aussie run building..

And then, it was Sachin Tendulkar show. Along with Robin Uthappa - he placed the foundation for the chase and then fellow youngster from Mumbai - Rohit Sharma made the match winning partnership.
