Shane Warne's side beat Sachin Tendulkar's team by six wickets

Restricting Sachin's side to 140 for eight, Warne's team reached 141 runs by losing four wickets with 16 balls to spare.

Rickey Ponting (48*) and Jonty Rhodes (20*) added a quick-fire 37 runs in the fifth wicket partnership to reach the target.

Rhodes smashed three sixes in his innings to ensure a victory for his side at the end of a competitive match which aimed to popularise the game in the global platform.

Ponting hit three boundaries and equal number of sixes in his knock.

Former Sri Lankan cricketer Kumar Sangakkara, who recently retired from international cricket, contributed 41 runs with his willow.

Shoaib Akhtar picked up two wickets in his fiery four overs spell.

Shane Warne's team took 1-0 lead in the series.

Earlier, former Indian cricketer Sachin Tendulkar's 'Sachin's Blasters' were restricted at 140 for eight.

In a match between all former international cricketers, Sachin Tendulkar (26) and Virender Sehwag (55) opened the batting like old days and added 85 runs in the first wicket partnership.

Sehwag's showed his class and played some of his signature flashy shots all around the park in his  22-ball knock.

He hammered six over boundaries and three boundaries which set the stage on fire.

Sachin was giving him good company on the other end while smashing two boundaries and six in his 27-ball innings.

After Sachin was dismissed by former Australian cricketer Shane Warne, followed by Sehwag, the side lost momentum with ex-cricketers returning to the pavilion one after the other.

VVS Laxman (8),  Brian Lara (1), Mahela Jayawardene (18) and Carl Hooper (11) failed to contribute with their willows.

Fans cheered aloud every shot as the former cricketers showed their skills on the ground after a long time.

Warne and Andrew Symonds shined with the ball as they took three wickets each with Daniel Vettori and Allan Donald picked up single wicket apiece.
