And the final results are out :
Kind of hard to beat the Indians on Indian soil, huh ? Look at the difference in final points, this is cricket all over again. The Uzbeks put up a fight in a terrain and environment that was unknown to them, kudos to them. What happened to the Russians ? The heat got them ?
