It was India’s chance for a redemption after getting white-washed in the Test series against England. In the end, they put up a good fight, but still fell short of victory. They were clearly 15-20 runs short in the first innings, and the following win probability graph says it all:

The win probability of India peaked at 1 in the 12th over, when Rane and Dravid were cruising along. A hattrick of sixes by Dravid put India in a strong position. Then suddenly everything unraveled from there. A succession of 4 quick wickets brought the win probability below the 0.75 mark. Raina’s cameo threatened to take India to a score in the 170-180 range, but then a second mini-collapse meant that India fell well short of the target. In the end, this turned out to be the decisive point of the game. <\/p>\n
England were always steady in the chase of the target, and even though the things did get interesting in the end, they were never really in a danger. The lowest their win probability went to was around 0.60 towards the end of the game, but Samit Patel (who accumulated 0.544 batting WPA) knocked in the winning runs with a trio of fours. <\/p>\n
