The pitch where the International Masters League is being played is a complete batting pitch, besides the Indian players playing in the Masters League are 2011 World Cup players and all are great players. Although it was a little slow at the beginning of the game, but seeing the speed that master blaster Sachin Tendulkar was doing, it seemed that the 270+ run rate was going to 10.83, but while playing a small sweep shot, Shane Watson took a catch for 50 runs for just a little bit more, he made 42 (30) runs.
Stuart Binny and Yusuf Pathan formed a partnership with Binny scoring 36 runs off 21 balls and Yusuf Pathan scoring 23 runs off 10 balls. The score is 220-7(W) in 20 overs.
