India BEAT Australia By 38 Runs In 2011 WC Warm Up

WOW. INDIA start their World Cup Campaign with a bang by winning their warm up!!! What a remarkable turnaround from them. Australia were just chasing 215 for victory and at one stage were 118/1 in just the 22nd over! However, the Aussies collapsed and were cleaned up for 176 to give India a 38 run victory! Young leg spinner Piyush Chawla claimed figures of 9-0-4-31. Congratulations to the Indian supporters.

Imran Khan backed India to successfully lift the World Cup on home soil. He also mentioned how highly he thought of MS Dhoni's captaincy. I agree with both of these points. Here you have a top professional who avoids giving unbiased statements. On balance, India are hot favourites for this World Cup.
