What a match we've had. The rain threatened to play spoilsport all day long but in the end the match went down to the last over with Dhoni playing yet another useful innings to guide India home under pressure with the visitors going 2-1 up in the ODI series.
11 were needed off the final over but a six by Dhoni on the second ball pretty much clinched the game for India. It was well set up by Gambhir and Karthik who put on a huge opening stand. India stuttered after the last rain break but a calm Dhoni ensured that India remained on track.
