📍 Belfast, June 29, 2007 — In a match where the legend of Sachin Tendulkar grew even greater, the Indian maestro became the first player to cross 15,000 ODI runs, leading India to a six-wicket win and leveling the series 1-1 in the Future Cup 2007. Chasing 227, Tendulkar and Ganguly gave India a dream start with a 134-run opening stand. Sachin played an innings full of flair and precision—pulling Andre Nel for six, dismissively cutting Langeveldt, and driving Tshabalala for six and four in consecutive balls. His eventual dismissal for 93—his second score in the 90s in the series—came as a rare lapse, but by then, he had etched his name in history. Earlier, Zaheer Khan and RP Singh had South Africa at 7 for 2 after India chose to field in overcast conditions. Van Wyk hit a gritty career-best and Mark Boucher added a rapid half-century to push the Proteas to 226. The finish wasn't without drama—India stuttered after Tendulkar's dismissal—but an unbroken 85-run partnership between Yuvraj Singh and Dinesh Karthik ensured India got home safely. 📌 Match Summary: South Africa: 226/6 (Van Wyk 82, Boucher 55, Yuvraj 3/39) India: 227/4 in 46.3 overs (Tendulkar 93, Ganguly 42, Karthik 32*) 🏆 Man of the Match: Sachin Tendulkar A match to remember for a historic milestone and vintage Tendulkar brilliance! #INDvsSA #CricketMax #Highlights
