ICC World Twenty20 2007 - Twenty-first match


England v India
At Durban, September 19, 2007. India won by 18 runs. Toss: India / chose bat. Twenty20 international debuts: Chris Tremlett (England); Joginder Sharma and Rohit Sharma (India)

The match is remarkable. Yuvraj Singh’s fastest Twenty20 fifty from 12 balls and more runs from one over – 36 runs (six 6s). Earlier, Gambhir and Sehwag give a good start for India. England struggled and reached 200.

After the match, Paul Collingwood said, "I feel sorry for Stuart Broad, but it was only a matter of time before an over like that came around. It's disappointing to be knocked out, but we'll learn a lot from this."

M S Dhoni said, "What Yuvraj did was amazing for the team. We got a score that was next to impossible."

"I just went in to slog," says Yuvraj. "With two overs to go, I just thought I'd use the crease and timed it well. In England I got hit for five sixes by Dimitri Mascarenhas, so I thought I had to take my chance."

Player of the match: Yuvraj Singh
