Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Where was this ICC World Twenty20 India/England match held?

Answer: Kingsmead Stadium, Durban

This was a decider of both the teams. There were more Indian cheer fans as India had only two matches at the Wanderers. All other matches were at Durban. England lost to New Zealand and South Africa, so they had to win against India to stay back. India lost against New Zealand in the while.

2. Who were the umpires in this match?

Answer: Billy Doctrove and Simon Taufel

They are very famous umpires and are most common in World Cups.

3. First innings, India bats first. How many runs was the first wicket for?

Answer: 136

Sehwag and Gambhir got their 50 by that time. The wicket fell in 14.4 overs.

4. How many sixes were hit by Sehwag?

Answer: 3

Well, one of them was on the shorter boundary. One was inside the crowd, and one was the one which went to back, and the fielder missed the catch.

5. What was the dramatic thing that happened in the 19th over?

Answer: Yuvraj Singh hit 6 sixes in one over

Yuvraj Singh was the first one to hit six 6's in one over in any Twenty20 World Cup. In the world, Yuvraj Singh and Herschelle Gibbs are the first ones to hit six 6's in a World Cup separately. Gibbs against Netherlands (50 over World Cup) from March to April, and Yuvraj Singh in September's ICC Twenty20.

India ended scoring 218/4. Yuvraj Singh also scored the fastest 50 in the Twenty20 World Cup in only 12 balls because of those 6 sixes. He ended up in 58 off 16 balls, and 7 sixes in his innings.

6. Who were the openers of the English cricket team?

Answer: Darren Maddy and Vikram Solanki

This was a very strong batting line up, but could England beat India? If yes, they can be in the series.

7. How many runs was the first wicket partnership for?

Answer: 53

Irfan Pathan took the wicket of Darren Maddy.

8. What was England's final score?

Answer: 200-6

India won the match by 18 runs. Luke Wright was out on the second last ball of the English innings by Harbhajan, just one inch short of the six. Harbhajan balanced well, got the catch, and Andrew Flintoff hit a boundary of the final ball.

9. How many runs and wickets were totally taken in this match?

Answer: 418-10

That was a match. India wins! All thanks to all the players of the match for such a great performance. Over 400 runs hit in 40 overs (10.18 runs). That was a memorable match for India. All Indian cheer fans will remember this match in their life.

10. Who was the Man of the Match?

Answer: Yuvraj Singh

The top most innings was hit by Sehwag, but because Yuvraj Singh got six 6's in one over (6 balls), he got the Man of the Match award.
