Cricket All Stars 3rd T20 match Live Streaming: The third match of the Cricket All Stars T20 series will be played on the 14th November2015. The first match of the series was played at the Citi Field, New York and it brought back the nostalgic memories for the fans.
The toss was performed on the drop in pitch and Sachin’s Blasters won the toss and elected to bat. The clock turned time backwards as Sachin and Sehwag came out to open the batting and the bowlers on the other end were Pakistani great Wasim Akram and South African ‘white lightning’ Allan Donald.
Sehwag turned time back when he started hitting every bowler out of the ground and scored the first 50 of the series in just 20 balls. Tendulkar also started hitting the ball, but then came the war we were looking forward to. Warne vs Tendulkar started with Warne beating the bat and then dismissing him, Lara and Laxman in span of 10 balls. Vettori accounted for Sehwag and the Blasters could only muster 140 runs in their 20 overs.
In reply, Warne’s Warriors started steadily with Kallis and Hayden hitting their way out of a brilliant spell from Shoaib Akhtar. Akhtar bowled extremely fast and even got a few to jump on Kallis. But the match was settled by Ponting and Rhodes who finished the match by hitting 3 sixes in 4 balls.
The caravan now moves on to Houston, Texas where the second match will be take place in the Minute Maid park, home of the Houston Astros. The ground has a capacity of 40,950 and the match will be played under lights.
Date of the match – 14 November
Time – 7:30am IST (9pm ET)

The match saw the likes of Graeme Swann, Michael Vaughan, Saqlain Mushtaq, Ajit Agarkar, Glenn McGrath and Lance Klusener missing out on the game. Another big name to miss the match was former Indian captain Sourav Ganguly and it is possible that he will be available for the next two matches. This can be a conundrum for Sachin’s Blasters, as who will open with Sachin in the match, Sourav or Sehwag.
The match has spiked the interest of the USA citizens into cricket and as mentioned by Sachin Tendulkar, he has picked up a bat for spreading awareness about cricket in the places where people still know little about the game.
