The Indians failed to build a good opening partnership with their opener Shikhar Dhawan got out at 1 run. However partnership of 67 runs in second wicket showed light of hope to the Indians. But after the end of that partnership all hope went down for Indians. 48 runs from skipper Sachin Tendulkar and a 27 off 10 balls cameo from Kieron Pollard wasn't enough to reach the target of 169. They scored 146 in the allotted 20 overs with a loss of 9 wickets. Shadab Jakati got 2 wickets and Muttiah Muralidharan, Doug Bollinger, Suresh Raina, Albie Morkel got 1 wicket each.
