Best clutch moment in cricket #euphoriacricket #cricketplayer
One of the most clutch moments in ODI cricket was a 2010 match between Australia and Sri Lanka in Melbourne. Australia set a target of 240 for Sri Lanka. The Sri Lankan top-order collapsed, reducing them to 107-8 in 26 overs. Winning from this situation seemed impossible, especially on a big ground like the MCG, with only Malinga and Muralitharan left to bat with Angelo Mathews. But the Lankan Lions were not going down without a fight. Malinga joined Mathews and started smashing Australian bowlers all around the park. Together, they took Sri Lanka's score from 107-8 to 239-8. With only one run needed to win, Malinga got out. With one wicket remaining, one run needed, and Murali on strike, the match was perfectly poised for either a draw or a Sri Lankan victory. Murali kept his cool and flicked Watson down the leg side for a four, giving Sri Lanka a famous win against Australia in Australia.
