Live Cricket Score Warne’s Warriors 141/4 | Overs 17.2 | Batting: Jonty Rhodes 20(14), Ricky Ponting 48(38): It’s all over for the Blasters. Jonty Rhodes who copped a few nasty ones early on finished it with a six. Ricky Ponting played a brilliant knock scoring 48 off 38 and ensured the Warriors’ innings was glued together.

Live Cricket Score Warne’s Warriors 112/4 | Overs 15 | Batting: Jonty Rhodes 1(4), Ricky Ponting 41(34): It’s getting tense here. That’s as good a T20 match you’ll get in terms of balance between sides. Warriors seemed to be cruising at one stage but Murali has gotten rid of Andrew Symonds for one and it’s getting a little tough now. Akhtar needs another couple of wickets. OUT! Andrew Symonds 1(7) lbw Muralitharan

Live Cricket Score Warne’s Warriors 104/3 | Overs 13 | Batting: Andrew Symonds 1(2), Ricky Ponting 34(31): It’s running away from the Blasters now. They need wickets in a hurry and in a clutter too. AND there it is. Shoaib Akhtar has done him in with a bit of extra pace. Akhtar has been absolutely fantastic today. Blasters need more of these. OUT! Kumar Sangakkara 41(29) c Jayawardene b Akhtar

Live Cricket Score Warne’s Warriors 88/2 | Overs 11 | Batting: Kumar Sangakkara 29(23), Ricky Ponting 32(27): It’s good going for the Warriors at the moment. That said, the Blasters spinners are doing a good job in restricting the duo of Ponting and Sangakkara. Carl Hooper has kept it very tight. Muralitharan has been almost as good as ever but wickets are the need of the hour.

Live Cricket Score Warne’s Warriors 59/2 | Overs 6 | Batting: Kumar Sangakkara 19(9), Ricky Ponting 14(11): It looked troubling for Warriors two overs ago but Ponting and Sangakkara have already pulled it back. Both are in their elements and have taken full account of anything overpitched.

Live Cricket Score Warne’s Warriors 29/2 | Overs 4 | Batting: Kumar Sangakkara 5(4), Ricky Ponting 2(4): That’s not a very good start for the Warriors. Shoaib Akhtar troubled the batsmen with short deliveries and got Matthew Hayden to nick one off his glove to the keeper. Kallis was run out carelessly in the same over. He was lazily looking for a run and underestimated Muralitharan’s arm as he was sent back by Ponting. The throw came searing to Moin Khan and he was run out. OUT! Matthew Hayden 4(4) c Moin Khan b Shoaib Akhtar, OUT! Jacques Kallis 13(12) run out Muralitharan

Live Cricket Score Warne’s Warriors 12/0 | Overs 2 | Batting: Jacques Kallis 13(12), Matthew Hayden 0(0): Shoaib Akhtar’s first over was a thing of class for someone who has been away for cricket for so long. He had pace and bounce and even bowled a snorter to Jacques Kallis which the all rounder just about managed to keep out. Shaun Pollock was slightly less threatening.

Live Cricket Score Sachin’s Blasters 140/8 | Overs 20 | Batting: Curtly Ambrose 1(7), Muttiah Muralitharan 2(2): It’s not ended too well for the Blasters especially after the start they received thanks in large part to Sehwag’s blitz. The Warriors spinners were outstanding and took wickets with great frequency. But it could well be a defendable total! OUT! Carl Hooper 11(19) lbw Symonds, OUT! Moin Khan 1(2) c Kallis b Symonds, OUT! Shaun Pollock 11(9) c Kallis b Symonds

Live Cricket Score Sachin’s Blasters 120/5 | Overs 16 | Batting: Shaun Pollock 1(2), Carl Hooper 7(13): The Warriors spinners have done a great job for their side. After the great spells of Warne and Vettori, Symonds has bowled a crucial over getting the wicket of a dangerous looking Jayawardene for 18 off 15 balls. OUT! VVS Laxman 8(9) st Sangakkara b Warne, OUT! Jayawardene 18(15) c Agarkar b Symonds

Live Cricket Score Sachin’s Blasters 94/3 | Overs 11 | Batting: Mahela Jayawardene 2(3), VVS Laxman 6(6): Brian Lara’s stay at the crease is rather short-lived. Warne has his second wicket and it’s two of his contemporaries. The Blasters find themselves in a fair bit of trouble at this stage but Mahela is at the crease now and has the classy Laxman for company. OUT! Brian Lara 1 (8) lbw Shane Warne

Live Cricket Score Sachin’s Blasters 87/2 | Overs 9 | Batting: Brian Lara 1 (4), VVS Laxman 1 (1): Daniel Vettori has done it for the Warriors with the crucial wicket of Sehwag! Sehwag smashed 55 off 22 deliveries before falling. Classic pair of Laxman and Lara at the crease now. This is the opening the Warriors needed. Great over by Vettori! OUT! Virender Sehwag 55(22) b Daniel Vettori

Live Cricket Score Sachin’s Blasters 85/1 | Overs 8 | Batting: Virender Sehwag 55(21): Virender Sehwag has been absolutely destructive and has reached his fifty off 20 balls! Meanwhile, the Warriors have something to cheer about now that Sachin has fallen to Shane Warne in the 8th over of the innings thanks in large part to a stunning catch by Kallis at mid off! OUT! Sachin Tendulkar 26 (27) c Kallis b Warne

Live Cricket Score Sachin’s Blasters 27/0 | Overs 4 | Batting: Virender Sehwag 18(10), Sachin Tendulkar 7(14): The Blasters have amassed 27 runs in the opening four overs. Wasim Akram, Allan Donald have bowled quite well. Sehwag has found his touch alright but Sachin struggling just a wee bit.

Live Cricket Score Sachin’s Blasters 8/0 | Overs 1 | Batting: Virender Sehwag 7(4), Sachin Tendulkar 1(1): Virender Sehwag runs it down to third man first up for a single. Sachin gets a single through covers next. Sehwag drives through covers next for a couple of runs. Sehwag guides the next ball to third man for four. Wasim Akram puts in dots the next couple of deliveries.

TOSS: Shane Warne tosses the coin with Simon Taufel overseeing. Sachin Tendulkar calls heads but it’s tails. Warne says he’ll bowl first. Sachin says he would have liked to bowl first too.

The players made their way out to the middle amid loud cheers from the fans. The assemble for the American national anthem.

The crowd at the Citi Field is picking up and finding it’s voice. As expected, it is likely to be a packed house at the home of the New York Mets for a historic game of cricket.

Sachin Tendulkar vs Shane Warne; Virender Sehwag vs Wasim Akram; Sourav Ganguly vs Saqlain Mushtaq; Brian Lara vs Courtney Walsh; Kumar Sangakkara vs Muttiah Muralitharan; Jacques Kallis vs Shaun Pollock; Matthew Hayden vs Curtly Ambrose. These are the contests most cricket fans would only have imagined in a video game. And yet, due to the Cricket All-Stars League 2015 that will be a reality when Sachin’s Blasters take on Warne’s Warriors in New York.
