The 2003 ICC Cricket World Cup witnessed an enthralling clash between two cricketing powerhouses, India and England. The match, held on February 26, 2003, at the Kingsmead Cricket Ground in Durban, South Africa, showcased a riveting contest between the bat and ball, leaving fans on the edge of their seats. Both teams entered the encounter with high hopes of securing a crucial victory in the tournament's early stages.
The Indian Innings: England won the toss and elected to field first, looking to take advantage of the early morning conditions. India's opening duo, Sachin Tendulkar and Virender Sehwag, walked out to the middle with a positive intent. Sehwag launched a scintillating assault on the English bowlers, blasting boundaries with incredible ease. However, his aggressive innings was cut short by a well-directed Andrew Flintoff delivery, resulting in a caught-behind dismissal.
