Sehwag disappoints with the bat

London June 19. Virender Sehwag again disappointed with the bat but redeemed some pride with three wickets as Leicestershire beat Durham by 46 runs in a Twenty20 match at the Riverside on Wednesday.

Sehwag, who had made nought in his previous outing against Yorkshire, could manage only 14 in his team's score of 168 for nine in 20 overs with Brad Hodge saving the day for Leicestershire with a quickfire 64 off 44 balls with seven fours.

Opening the innings, Sehwag faced 11 balls and hit three boundaries before falling to Killeen, caught by Peng.

Chasing 169 for a win, Durham lost wickets at regular intervals and could manage only 122 in 20 overs with Sehwag emerging the most successful bowler with three for 14 from three overs.

The win put Leicestershire on top of the North Division in the Twenty20 Cup.
