CUTTACK — England put up another sterling performance to down Sharjah cup champions Pakistan by four wickets, registering their third consecutive victory in the six nation MRF world series for the Nehru cup at the baraball stadium here Sunday.
Backed by some intelligent bowling and superb fielding, En gland first restricted Pakistan to 148 for nine wickets in the allotted 50 overs and then hit up 149 for the loss of six wickets in 43.2 overs.
AHMEDABAD — Despite a sterling knock of 80 by inform Navjot Sidhu, India ended up with only 227 for eight on a good batting track against Sri Lanka in their allotted 50 overs in the preliminary league match of the MRF World Series for the Jawaharlal Nehru cup tournament here.
Sidhu who has been in cracking form this season, struck five fours and a straight six in his 90 ball knock before being run out in the 42nd over of the innings and his setback perhaps cost India another 30 vital runs as the other batsmen could not get going at more than six runs per over in the last ten overs.
