4th Match, ICC KnockOut, India v Australia, Statistical Highlights
Rajneesh Gupta
October 8, 2000
- It was the 1633rd ODI match in cricket history.
- It was India's 447th and Australia's 466th match in ODI history.
- It was the 62nd match between these two sides. The record now
reads: India 23, Australia 36, no result 3.
- Yuvraj Singh, playing his second match and first innings, scored
his maiden ODI fifty. He opened his account with a four (off Ian
Harvey) and his first three scoring shots were fours.
- Yuvraj Singh now holds the record of playing the highest score
for India in his first innings (not necessarily on debut). The
previous record was in the name of Brijesh Patel who made 82 against
England at Leeds on 13-07-1974 in India's first ever match.
- At 18 years 300 days, Yuvraj is the second youngest to score an
individual fifty for India after Sachin Tendulkar who made 53 against
Sri Lanka at Pune on 05-12-1990 at the age of 17 years 225 days. The
world record is held by Pakistan's Shahid Afridi when he made it at 16
years 217 days.
- The catch of Vinod Kambli was 150th dismissal (130 catches and 20
stumpings) for Adam Gilchrist. He becomes second Australian and
seventh wicketkeeper to do so. By reaching this target in his 99th
match, Gilchrist now becomes the quickest to do so. The previous
record was held by countryman Ian Healy who made his 150th dismissal
in his 111th match.
- Venkatesh Prasad hit the only ball he faced (bowled by Ian
Harvey) for a six. He became only the second batsman in ODI history to
hit a six in one ball innings. The only other batsman is Pakistan's
Wasim Akram who hit a six off the bowling of Viv Richards against West
Indies at Calcutta on 01-11-1989. Akram's six infact ended the match
as Pakistan won the Nehru Cup.
- Australia's total (245) is the sixth joint highest by a team in a
one-day international without an individual fifty. It is also a new
record for Australia. The highest such totals are:

- Michael Bevan was run-out for the 14th time in his career and
third time against India.
- It is a strange coincidence that Australia has crashed out of
both the ICC Knockout Tournaments - losing their first game to India.
- Yuvraj Singh won his maiden Man of the Match award. He is the
second youngest to win award for India after Sachin Tendulkar who was
17 years and 225 days old while winning his maiden award (v Sri Lanka
at Pune on 05-12-1990).
