India began the match in the best possible fashion when Sourav Ganguly won the toss and promptly elected to bat. But the joy was short-lived as the skipper himself became the first wicket to fall after a struggle that lasted only 21 balls. Feet going nowhere, Ganguly slashed at a wide ball from Brett Lee and was caught behind easily by Adam Gilchrist for nine. Understandably, Lee and Gilchrist could scarcely conceal their glee.
