Chasing a victory target of 274 runs in the allotted 50 overs, the hosts lost quick wickets and were all out for 176 in 44.5 overs. The only Indian resistance came from newcomer Atul Bedade and old guard Navjyot Singh Sidhu. Both scored 52 runs -- Sidhu making the runs off 80 balls and Bedade doing so off only 55.
Though Brian Lara failed to score beyond 10 runs, Carl Hooper and Keith Arthurton contributed 61 and 37 runs respectively for the Indies side.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
