Collingwood and Flintoff added 31 runs for the sixth wicket
partnership and looked like trying to salvage something out of
the match. But then, Ashish Nehra had other ideas; he claimed the
wickets of Collingwood (18), White (13) and Irani (0) as England
were in real danger of being shot out for a paltry total. England
were 107/8, and Nehra had bowled the third best bowling
performance in World Cup history – 10-2-23-6, and that also
helped him win the Man of the Match award. The only consolation
for England was the form of Freddie; he sparkled with the bat too
– making 64 runs off 73 balls, hitting three towering sixes.
England were bowled out for 168 in the 46th over, and India took
one step closer to Super Six – winning by 82 runs.
