Scorecard : India vs England 5th ODI, Cuttack : 26 November 2008

Filed under IndvEng Cuttack

Pietersen-111-Cuttack-ODI.jpg Match : India vs England, fifth One day International of Hero Honda Cup 7 ODI series.
Venue/Date : Barabati stadium in Cuttack in Orissa in India.. 26 November 2008.
Debuts : none from either side.
Result : India won by 6 wickets.
Man of the match : Virendra Sehwag.
Umpires : Amish Saheba (India) & Dyrall Harper (Australia).
ODI No. : 2783.

Already 4 played and as many lost, England team were desperate to win something in the series as they came to Cuttack for this 5th ODI of Hero Honda Cup series in 2008 in India.. They played good cricket (specially Owais Shah who has been England's batsman in the series so far and captain Pietersen who scored unbeaten century), but failed to defend their fine looking total.

Indians began their chase in emphatic manner with Sachin-Sehwag dominating and then, although visitors got 3 quick wickeyts - India's captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni along with Suresh Raina made another century partnership and spoiled any hope of England win..

A 5th loss in a row, this England's tour of India is slowly becoming humiliating and as I mentioned in the preview - no other team has lost 7 matches out of 7 ODI series - England are seriously looking down the gun barrell now.. will they win at least one match? that remains to be seen.. 2 more game to go.!
