3rd ODI vs India
CW made two changes for the third match, Corrin coming in for Dean after a disappointing couple of matches, and Noble replacing Capone, who had picked up a hand injury. India won the toss and decided to bowl first.
Soon this looked like an error as the pitch looked a dream to bat on. Heads and Narang started with a brisk opening partnership of 91 before Heads was caught in the deep for 51 off 58 in the 21st over.
Dharan soon looked to continue his fine form, putting on another 118 with Narang (79) and 58 with Ballich, bringing up his hundred at better than a run a ball, and departed for 106 with his side in an excellent position at 267/3 in the 46th.
Ballich was run out for 29 in an attempt to force the pace, but lower-order hitting from Spark (22* off 8) and Ikram (12* off 5) pushed the home side's score past 300.
CW 303/4 - Dharan 106, Narang 79
India's response started poorly as Noble had Sehwag caught off the last delivery of the first over for 4. Gambhir counter-attacked with 32 off 22, with Noble's opening spell costing 8 per over, but was caught behind off Phlegm. Kambli was clean bowled soon after as Winne once again took a wicket in his opening over.
India had reached 77-3 when the spinners came on, and promptly the innings found itself in tatters. Hing was the chief destroyer, taking 5.1-0-25-5, including the big wickets of Tendulkar (30) and Laxman (13), along with Kumble and Harbhajan to take the game away from India.
The match was all but over when Corrin dismissed the last recognised batsman, Despande, for 15, and Hing completed the rout by trapping G Singh lbw. The visitors had lost 7 for 34 in just under 10 overs.
India 121 all out - Hing 5-24, Corrin 2-12
CW won by 182 runs
