The legendary Pakistan spinner rattled former Indian batting star Sachin Tendulkar's woodwork, giving us an apt reminder of the genius bowler's supremacy with the ball.

For his second wicket, he chose Sri Lankan right-hand batting maestro Mahela Jayawardene. Saqlain dismissed him LBW with a straighter one.

Meanwhile, Shoaib Akhtar was also seen in action, not with his bowling this time but with a catch which he took on the boundary. He nearly fumbled it up.
While batting for Sachin's Blasters, Shoaib was bounced by Andrew Symonds; he nearly escaped it considering the fact that he was not wearing a helmet.
Later, he was caught in covers.

West Indian left-batting legend Brian Lara's dismissal by Australian all-rounder Andrew Symonds was another highlight of the match.

Australian spin legend Shane Warne and Indian batting maestro Sachin Tendulkar are leading their teams in the tournament. Warne Warriors won the three-match series 2-0 against Sachin's Blasters with a 57-run win in the second match.
