World Giants need 12 runs in last over

Munaf Patel is raging! First he needs to be calmed down by Kaif after he thinks the umpire unjustly signals a wide. Then Amit Bhandari drops a catch at short fine leg. Venugopal fumbles, and Munaf Patel now lets loose at his teammate. Venugopal raises his hands in apology.

Imran Tahir, on 40, on strike for the last over.

Imran Tahir smashes 23 runs in Gony's over

Imran Tahir is giving it a mighty whack! Smashes Gony for six on the off side, almost loses his balance after hitting the shot. Ends the over with another six! It's Imran Tahir vs India Maharajas at the moment! 23 runs are scored in Gony's 18th over.

World Giants need 48 runs in 3 overs

Morkel tries to go big, but is caught at long on by Kaif, a second wicket for Binny. Sidebottom joins Tahir at 10. Venugopal Rao drops another sitter! 

World XI 162/7 after 17, need 48 runs in 18 balls

Munaf Patel breaks Sammy's stumps

Munaf Patel breaks the stumps! Once hyped as India's pace sensation, the sight of a broken stumps for Munaf can evoke many memories. For now, he gets Sammy out for 28. Out comes Imran Tahir at 9. 

Venugopal Rao continues his spell. Morne Morkel and Imran Tahir may have been called tail-enders all their lives, but they are ensuring their team does not go out without a fight.

World XI 148/6 after 15, need 62 runs in 30 balls

Sammy threatens twist in tale

Now Badani strikes! Kaif sticks with his spinners and it brings the reward. Danger man Haddin is bowled. Sammy and Morne Morkel now in the middle for the World Giants, who have their lower order exposed. Sammy swings for the long on fence. Six! 

Gony back into the attack in the 13th. Sammy swings again. Six! Can Sammy bring about a twist in the tail? Another six! 82 metres! Kaif, fielding at long off, is running in after every ball to have a word with his wards. Sammy is then dropped in the deep by Venugopal.

World XI 124/5 after 13

Venugopal Rao rescues India from 5th bowler problem

Badrinath takes over 5th bowler duties from Badani. Haddin plunders 17 runs off the over.

Time for...Venugopal Rao. Who is so unused to bowling that he tries to give his cap to the umpire, who says it has been more than a year since that stopped being a cricket custom. He is thus bowling with his cap on.  And he gets a wicket! Albie Morkel is out.

World XI 100/4 after 11

Kaif ends Pietersen onslaught

Pietersen gets to his 50 but then skies a shot. Kaif has hours to call for the catch and get under it. Badani and Kaif - two of India's most athletic fielders in their prime - celebrate the wicket. Pietersen is out for 53 off 27 balls, Binny takes the wicket.

World XI 78/3 after 9

Pietersen begins onslaught

Hemang Badani into the attack in the 7th over. The team does not have a specialist spinner today, Badani, Badrinath, Venugopal, Yusuf are the part-timers Kaif can go to. Pietersen smashes a six over deep extra cover. Another over deep midwicket. 17 runs off Badani's over.

Gony doesn't fare any better in the 8th over. KP smashes a 87m six - the longest of the night so far. 12 runs off the over. Pietersen on 47*.

World XI 71/2 after 8
