India 413/5 in 50 overs (V Sehwag 114, SC Ganguly 89, Yuvraj 83) beat Bermuda 156/10 in 43.1 overs (DL Hemp 76*, Agarkar 38/3, Kumble 38/3) by 257 runs
Match home
After the embarrassing loss in their previous game, the indian batsmen came out all guns blazing to post the highest ever score in WC history, in an innings containing a world record 18 sixes (jointly with South Africa). By winning the match by a record margin of 257 runs, India improved their net run-rate which might be crucial at a later stage. A result everyone expected but the margin would have heartened many. The bigger test awaits on Friday, when then meet Sri Lanka.After the pelting of stones on cricketers house and burning of effigies, don't be surprised if the fickle fans start talking up India's chances at this World Cup!
