Colombo, Mar 19

Dinesh Karthik did a Javed

Miandad with a last-ball six as

India pulled off an incredible

chase beating Bangladesh by

four wickets in the Nidhas T20

Tri-series final, in Colombo

Sunday night. Needing five off

the final delivery, Karthik

smashed Soumya Sarkar over

extra-cover as a second-string

Indian side held its nerve in a

tense situation to chase down

a target of 167 in 20 overs.

It would count as one of India's

famous last ball sixes --

something that Pakistani legend

did against India 32 years back

in Sharjah. Karthik's gem of a

cameo got him 29 off 8 balls

with two boundaries and three

sixes -- the last of them which

will be forever be etched in the

memory.

Skipper Rohit Sharma's (56 off

42 balls) dismissal set India's

inexperienced middle-order in

panic mode and Vi jay

Shankar's four dot balls off the

18th over by Mustaf izur

Rahaman made it very difficult

Dinesh Karthik does it in style, India

win Nidahas T20 tri-series

for India.

Karthik came at the start of

the19th over and hit Rubel

Hossain for 22 including two

sixes and two fours to bring

down the equation to 12 off the

final over before finishing it off

in style.

A partisan Sri Lankan crowd,

who were upset by

Bangladesh's behaviour did

the now famous 'Nagin Dance'

(Sbnake Dance') along with

Indian supporters leaving the

Togers distraught.

Rohit started with a lofted

boundary over long-on off his

opposite number Shakib.

Young off-spinner Mehidy

Hasan Miraz then got a taste of

what world class batsmanship

is as he was hit for two huge

sixes -- one over deep mid-

wicket and other over long-on

along with another boundary.

Shikhar Dhawan (10) and

Suresh Raina (0) were out in

quick succession but the Indian

captain was in his element as

Bangladesh's ploy of using

spinners in the Powerplay

didn't prove to be as effective

as India.

Rohit hit left-arm spinner

Nazmul Islam over mid-off for a

boundary and then an inside

out lofted shot over long-off

fetched him a six.

Wells, Mar 19

Former US Open champion

Juan Martin Del Potro stunned

top-ranked Roger Federer 6-

4, 6-7 (8/10), 7-6 (7/2) Sunday

to win his first Indian Wells title

and second consecutive ATP

crown. The 29-year-old from

Argentina handed Federer his

first match defeat of 2018 and

extended his own win streak to

11 matches, including a title run

earlier this month at Acapulco.

“I’m still shaking,” Del Potro said.

“It’s difficult to describe with

words. It’s like a dream.”

Del Potro, nagged by wrist

injuries throughout his career,

survived three match points

before claiming the

championship in a third-set tie-

breaker, ending a two hour, 42

minute marathon contest.

“I cannot believe I won this

tournament, beating Roger in

a great final and this level of

tennis. We played great tennis

today,” Del Potro said. “I just

want to keep winning titles like

this if I can.”

Del Potro won the first five

points of the deciding tie-

breaker then closed it out when

Swiss superstar Federer, who

had won a career-best 17

Del Potro outlasts Roger Federer to

claim Indian Wells title

straight matches to start the

year, smacked a forehand long.

It was an emotional match for

both players as each took turns

questioning the chair umpire.

Del Potro urged him to stop the

pro-Federer crowd from

making noise on his serve and

an irritated Federer also had a

couple of lively conversations

with the umpire.
