It is a Forgotten Thrilling battle between the two teams were over 600+ runs were scored during that era. Where Ajay Jadeja & Md Azharuddin played one of their Best ODI inning adding up a World record partnership of 223 in the 5th wicket.
Chasing 303 India were 64/4 in a stage, while Jadeja scored 119 (121 Balls 8 Fours 1 Sixer) & Azhar 111* (117 Balls 5 Fours), both getting their Highest ODI score, bought the game closer.
While 5 runs required off the last delivery Azhar managed 2, and the Indians ended up with 300 runs which is their Second ever score of 300 in ODI, fell just 3 short of the required target.
