Batting first, Australia were pegged back early by India’s spinners on a slow pitch. With Gilchrist and Hayden dismissed inside the first 8 overs, runs were hard to come by. But Michael Clarke (44 off 28) provided late fireworks, lifting Australia to a competitive 235/5. India looked well-placed in reply as Sachin Tendulkar (38) thrilled the Kolkata crowd with sublime strokes. But the turning point came when Andy Bichel dismissed Tendulkar, sparking an Indian collapse. Clarke’s all-round brilliance (2 wickets) and Ian Harvey’s clever slower balls (4/40) ripped through the middle and lower order. India folded, falling short by 37 runs, as Australia lifted yet another trophy. Despite the defeat, Tendulkar’s consistency earned him the Man of the Series award, while Clarke was named Man of the Match for his decisive impact. ⏱️ Key Moments Gilchrist & Hayden dismissed early, India on top Clarke’s counterattack: 44 off 28 with crucial boundaries Australia set 235/5 on a tough wicket Tendulkar’s fluent 38 thrills Eden Gardens crowd Bichel gets Tendulkar at a crucial stage Clarke strikes twice with the ball Harvey’s 4 wickets (including two in two balls) seal the game Australia clinch the TVS Cup 2003 Final by 37 runs Tendulkar named Man of the Series 🏏 Match Facts: Match: India vs Australia, TVS Cup Final 2003 Venue: Eden Gardens, Kolkata Date: Nov 18, 2003 Result: Australia won by 37 runs Man of the Match: Michael Clarke (44 & 2 wkts) Man of the Series: Sachin Tendulkar 👉 Relive more classic India vs Australia ODI battles from the 2000s! #indiavsaustralia #highlights #cricketmax #final
