INDIA THRILLER WIN
Patel to Parnell, OUT, India have won! What a stunning collapse from South Africa. It was another shortish delivery outside off and he has cut it straight to Yuvraj at point! Parnell can’t believe what he has done. Munaf takes out the final two in this over. Parnell stands there, and bites his helmet strap. Meanwhile. Yuvraj is on a celebratory dash to nowhere. Munaf smiles. Indians mob him. Parnell stands still.
In the absence of Jacques Kallis, South Africa are carrying a long tail and it has cost them today. The critics will bay for blood. They will scream that SA have choked again.CAPTAIN COOL HAS DONE IT AGAIN.
Netherlands 0-1 Spain - Match Report
Andres Iniesta grabbed a late winner in extra-time as Spain won the World Cup for the first time.
Iniesta struck with four minutes remaining to settle a tetchy encounter which saw English referee Howard Webb brandish a record 12 yellow cards, plus a red for Everton's John Heitinga on a night when Holland shamed the 'Total Football' for which they have been synonymous since the first of what is now three final defeats in 1974.

Match: Mumbai Indians vs Delhi Daredevils
When: Tuesday, April 13, 2010, 4 pm
Where: Brabourne Stadium, Mumbai
Who won: Mumbai Indians
How: By 39 runs
Man of the match: Kieron Pollard
MVP of the match: Kieron Pollard
What’d he do?: 45* off 13 balls at breakneck speed thwarted any hopes of Delhi restricting Mumbai to a mediocre total. He was also a livewire on the field, effecting two vital run-outs - those of Sehwag and Collingwood.
Turning point: Turning point it was! Collingwood turned around to find himself run-out by some quick wit courtesy Kieron Pollard.
Dot-ball hero: Young and upcoming southpaw Pradeep Sangwan bowled 14 dot balls, testing and teasing the Mumbai Indians’ batsmen.
Captain vs. Captain: Sachin Tendulkar’s contribution with the bat and some meticulous field placing ensured the local boys another victory. Gambhir thought he had the plot, but Pollard had other ideas. The visiting captain was lacklustre with the bat as well
Off-beat moment: Play was held up in the middle of the 19th over, as McDonald’s ball which was hit for six, had to be retrieved from outside the stadium
Innovative shot: Pollard didn’t even have to try hard. He just kept his bat between the stumps, trying to pull off the 'Dilscoop', and the ball flew over fine leg for six!
Longest Hit: 95 metres were traversed, as Pollard smacked it over midwicket and signalled his arrival.
