Tendulkar leads India to victory
03 January 2008
Set a victory target of 240 thanks in part to Matthew Hayden's 82, India secured the win in the 45th over when Mahendra Singh Dhoni found the boundary to hand the tourists the early initiative in the best-of-three final.
Tendulkar's masterly 117 - his 42nd ODI ton - came off just 120 deliveries and included 10 boundaries.
The veteran opener was ably supported by Rohit Sharma, who hit a brisk 66 off 87 balls to bolster India's response.
Earlier, Hayden made 82 to help the home side recover after being reduced at one stage to 24 for three.
