India vs South Africa Twenty20 World Cup: Can Yuvraj Singh do it Again?

Today, Yuvraj Singh did something that no other Indian batsman could ever do- hit 6 sixes in the same over. In fact, Yuvraj Singh hit the fastest fifty in any form of cricket. He scored 50 runs in just 12 runs and it is a record for Twenty20 and in any form of cricket.

I am giving you the score card of that moment from this blog:

After 19 Overs: India 207/3 Six 6s from Yuvraj Singh. It is a record in Twenty20 cricket. Yuvraj recorded the fastest fifty in Twenty20 cricket. He is now 50 off 12 balls.

18.5 Overs: India 201/3 Fifth six of the over from Yuvraj Singh. Stuart Braod looks helpless

18.4 Overs: India 195/3 Fourth six of the over came from Yuvraj.

18.3 Overs: India 189/3 Another huge six from Yuvraj. He is now 36 off 9

18.2 Overs: India 183/3 Yuvraj hit another six. Yuvraj is now rocking

18.1 Overs: India 177/3 Yuvraj hit most probably the biggest six of the tournament

Yuvraj Singh smashed fast bowler Stuart Broad for six sixes in an over as India piled up 218-4 in a must-win match against England in the Twenty20 world championships on Wednesday.

The left-hander's feat in the 19th over gave him the fastest 50 in the tournament off just 12 balls, eight deliveries less than what Bangladesh captain Mohammad Ashraful achieved against the West Indies.

Yuvraj finished with 58 off 16 balls with seven sixes and three boundaries as India set England a formidable target of 11 runs an over at a Kingsmead stadium overflowing with joyous Indian fans.

Now, tomorrow, India is playing against South Africa and it is a match for survival for India. India must win against South Africa. If they can win the match then India will bein the semi-finals of Twenty20 World Cup 2007 or else India will have to come back home. Millions of Indian people will surely pray for Yuvraj Singh to do the same feat again in the match India vs South Africa.
