After Namibia won the toss and send India in, Virender Sehwag and Sachin Tendulkar set a scorching pace. Sehwag, who batted in his usual blustery manner, stroked four crisp boundaries while making a run-a-ball 24. He was dismissed when he pulled Rudie van Vuuren straight into the hands of Dannie Keulder at short mid-wicket.
