India beat England by 19 runs in 4th one-dayer, clinch Hero Honda Cup

Paul Collingwood (22 runs off 14 balls) and Samit Patel (11 runs off 9 balls) batted valiantly and tried to help England reach the victory target, but it was too little, too late. England finished their innings 178 runs for 8 wickets off 22 overs.

Indian pacers Zaheer Khan, Ishant Sharma and Munaf Patel picked up two wickets each while Harbhajan Singh picked up one.

For England, Graeme Swann picked up two wickets while Stuart Broad and Samit Patel picked up one each.

Sehwag, adjudged Man of the Match, joined the elite 6000-club on Sunday, when he hit the 36th run. He is the sixth Indian to do so after Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid, Saurav Ganguly, Mohammed Azharuddin and Yuvraj Singh. His fifty against England is his 32nd fifity of his ODI career.

"I think all the three fast bowlers did a wonderful job in shaping up the victory for us. Zaheer has been quite consistent in our recent wins while Ishant and Munaf bowled really well. Their bowling figures say a lot as Zaheer gave away just 20 runs while Munaf and Ishant conceded 21 and 42 runs respectively while taking two wickets apiece," Sehwag told reporters after the match.

"I think the two stoppages due to rain helped us somewhat though we did not have any plans for that. We were confident that if the Duckworth-Lewis Method came into the picture we would have an advantage as we had scored around 106 runs for the loss of one wicket before the second interruption," he added.
