8. What was the final result of the match?

Answer: India won by 38 runs by the Duckworth-Lewis method and with 6 overs to spare

The Duckworth-Lewis method is always used when it is raining heavily or if there is bad light. In the Duckworth-Lewis method, the target and the overs both are reduced so that the match is quickly finished and the target is chosen according to the weather.

In this match, England required 325 to win from 50 overs. But due to rain, it was reduced to 301 from 45 overs. But finally, it rained again and the target was reduced to 281 from 39 overs. But this time it rained for a longer time, so India were declared the winners due to Duckworth-Lewis method by 38 runs. Paul Collingwood was not out at 91.

The series was 3-2 now.

9. How many runs did the English team score?

Answer: 242-8

This total was the final total for the English players due to the Duckworth-Lewis method. India won the match.

10. Who was the Man of the Match?

Answer: Sourav Ganguly

Maybe the others may have took wickets or scored more than Ganguly, but he was given the Man of the Match because he scored a 50 and took 2-26.
