India was restricted by Zimbabwe on 274/6 in their 50 overs quota. But later when Zimbabwe came into bat, Indian bowlers thrashed the opposition with a couple of initial wickets. 

When Zimbabwe was 210/8 and the win was almost there for the Indian team, one man Dougie Marillier stood tall between team India and the victory. He played a fantastic knock of 56*(24), and invented the eminent “Marillier scoop shot”. He rocked the ball of Ajit agarkar over the wicketkeeper Rahul dravid’s head which went over the boundary for a six. 

 

• Sachin Tendulkar’s brutal revenge on Henry Olonga

The bouncer hit him on the helmet by taking a thick edge of his gloves. After the dismissal, Olonga held a wild celebration before Tendulkar which he didn’t like.

But in the final game, Sachin Tendulkar took full revenge on Henry Olonga. India and Zimbabwe were contesting for the trophy. Sachin has scored a brilliant century i.e 124*(92), and hit along through all corners of the ground. In that game, Henry Olonga conceded 50 runs in just 6 hours of his spell.
