India won the toss and looked set for a commanding total as the top order got starts. However, despite promising positions, the innings never fully accelerated and ended at 227. Australian fast bowlers Damien Fleming and Michael Kasprowicz generated sharp bounce and movement early, creating constant pressure. Sachin Tendulkar faced hostile bowling and even edged a rising delivery directed toward his throat, while India lost momentum through rash strokes from key batsmen including Mohammad Azharuddin and Navjot Sidhu. At one stage India were 168/4, but a late collapse saw the final six wickets add only 59 runs. Australia approached the chase with patience and composure. Ricky Ponting and Michael Bevan guided the innings through the middle overs, keeping the required rate under control and ensuring the pressure stayed on India. With Australia placed at 169/4 in the closing stages, the difference between the two teams became clear. While India had collapsed from a similar position, Australia held their nerve and cruised home comfortably to secure the trophy with four wickets in hand. Steve Waugh’s leadership and contribution earned him the Man of the Match award, while Ajay Jadeja was named Player of the Tournament for his outstanding performances across the series. 🏏 Match Highlights: Australia won by 4 wickets India posted 227 after late collapse Fleming and Kasprowicz extracted bounce Ponting and Bevan guided chase Australia avenged earlier defeats Steve Waugh – Man of the Match Ajay Jadeja – Man of the Tournament 📍 Match Info: India vs Australia Pepsi Triangular Series Final Delhi April 14, 1998 #IndiaVsAustralia #AustraliaWin #PepsiCup1998 #CricketHighlights #SachinTendulkar #SteveWaugh #RickyPonting #VintageCricket #CricketArchive #ClassicC
