Yuvraj ton powers India to a facile win; IND 3-0
Result: India won by 49 runs
April 3, 2006
Yuvraj Singh hit a sizzling century as India dented England's morale further with a convincing 49-run victory in the third cricket one-dayer here today, a result which left them needing just one win to clinch the series.
After setting a stiff target of 295, built around Yuvraj's breathtaking 76-ball 103, Irfan Pathan grabbed three top order batsmen in quick succession to trigger an early collapse before the visitors folded up for 245 in 48.5 overs to give India a commanding 3-0 lead in the seven-match series.
Raina, 19, cracked one six and five fours in his 67-ball knock for his second successive half-century following his match-winning 81 not out in the previous game at Faridabad.

The Venue
Nehru Stadium, Margao, Goa
April 3, 2006
Described by Lonely Planet as "succulently hybrid and determinedly individual", Goa is famous for its beaches and spaced out backpackers.
The former Portuguese enclave also boasts a cricket ground in Margao which has hosted five one-day internationals.
India have lost all three of their games at the Nehru Stadium, which was established in 1989.
The ground can take 27,300 fans and a few hundred Brits on holiday may well get their hands on the odd ticket.
