Yuvraj shines in India’s W’Cup win

NEW DELHI, India (AFP) — India virtually wrapped a World Cup quarter-final place yesterday as calamity keeper Kamran Akmal faced being deposed by his own brother as Pakistan’s top gloveman.

Yuvraj Singh scored a match-winning 51 not out, his third successive half century, as India pulled off a five-wicket win against the Netherlands after making heavy weather of chasing a 190 target at Delhi’s Feroz Shah Kotla.

India were reeling at 99-4 after a three-wicket burst by left-arm spinner Pieter Seelaar but scraped through with 81 balls remaining.

The Indians are now on top of Group B with seven points following three wins and a tie after a match which saw Sachin Tendulkar become the first player to make 2,000 World Cup runs.
