When Shane Warne turned a World Cup semifinal on 'fast and bouncy' Mohali pitch
Veteran curator Daljit recalls the magical spell which single-handedly won the match for AustraliaMOHALI: It won't be an understatement to say that Shane Warne left an indelible mark on almost all cricket venues in which he played. The PCA stadium here in Mohali was witness to Warne's first magic spell in a world event. It was the World Cup semifinal against West Indies on 14 March 1996. In a match dominated by fast bowlers on a lively pitch that offered steep bounce, Warne single-handedly won the match for Australia in the last 10 overs as West Indies fell five runs short of Australia's 207.
