New Zealand seemed to be the favorites when India needed 18 off the last over with just the one wicket remaining, but big hitting from Jadeja brought it to 2 off 1 ball. The final delivery though brought just a single and if the same thing had happened in a T20I, there wouldve been a Super Over, but we dont have that luxury in ODIs yet. So the result will remain a tie. Perhaps a fitting result, for both sides didnt deserve to be on the losing side after such a humdinger. Phew! One of the great ODI games and it has ended in a tie, leaving India with still a possibility of squaring the series, if they win the last two matches. Todays tie also ensures that they dont lose the No. 1 ranking in ODIs for the time being. India looked down and out when Dhoni fell, but a super counter-attacking stand of 85 between Ashwin ande Jadeja tilted the game in the visitors favor, before the game took another twist with Ashwins wicket.
