Superb spell by Yuvraj

Dhoni won the toss and will field first.There are many factors which influenced his decision.

He can see how his seamers and spinners bowl first.

He can chase any total, having a formidable batting lineup.

Now IRE are 147/5, off 33.5 overs and Kevin O Brien is gone, caught and bowled by Yuvraj. Yuvraj also struck, removing A R White. Porterfield is playing a gem of an innings, 70 not out, off 97 balls. He seems to be IRE's hope.

Porterfield is now out to Yuvraj for a well compiled 75, off 104 balls. A captain's innings, undoubtedly. Yuvraj is proving to be India's best spinner, as he has now the figures of 3/13 !

Now he has 4 wickets, having taken Mooney, who was lbw to him. He now has the figures of 4/28! Now he has picked up his fifth wicket and IRE are 184/8!

This is Yuvraj's maiden 5 wicket haul. He is doing a Shahid Afridi ! He becomes the first left arm spinner to take 5 wickets World Cups. His figures at the end of his 10 overs is 5/31.

Now IRE are all out for 207 and Ind need 208 to win. Zaheer got 3/30 and Munaf 1/25.
