Bang bang bang viru

Well it was another weather truncated match in the Newzeland soil. yes it was Raining "Water drops and SIX's'. A good toss to have won by Vitory and choose to bat first. Ryder and McCullum initally started off steadly. the Ball was doing a bit and there was a bit of carry for the new ball bowlers. as soon as ishant was brought in it was a run feast for the openning pair. Then came yuvi and yusuf, who bowled well but yuvi was denied a wicket simply Dhoni could not collect the ball cleanly and stump McCullum. But yuvi got hte wicket of Ryder soon to be followed by Taylor giving a wicket to yusuf, and the middle order slumped. In came McGlashan and Elliot who gave the needed runs to their team. The rain intrupted and play was called for 47 overs a side affair. at the end the score stood as 270/5 in 47 overs.

And for the indians the total was reviced as 281 in 47 overs according to the DWL method. Walked in the indian openners  Viru and Gautham. Both did not see a reviced total at all i think all they saw was the ropes. Then the Viru show started. in India it was te holi celebration the festival of colours, so Viru showed "Black, Blue , Green", Viru showed a rainbow  of colours to the NZ players by his raining sixes.. He crossed 50 in just 33 balls and completed the ton with a six of Vitory in just 60 balls. fastest by an Indian to have scored, beating Azras 63 balls century which stood  before as a record for almost 23 years. 

the rain gods intrupted again but the damage was done already by now. the target was reviced as 221 in 37 overs. india where 201/0 with almost 70 balls in hand that te sky openned up yet again. The call was made and india was declared the winner, the match result was "India won by ten wickets"

the irony about the match when rain came in at 19.2 overs the required run according to the DWL method  was 97/0 compared to the 169/0. the match was swon by then itself. The loss was evident when you could see Guptil turn around towards the crowd asking for ball in the long off as soon as Viru hit a ball shows the faith the oppenents have on viru
