India clinch Future Cup

On a day when three batsmen engineered rescue acts in bowler-friendly Belfast, India prevailed, sneaking a thrilling six-wicket win to clinch the Future Cup.

It was India's first one-day series triumph outside the subcontinent since their memorable Natwest-Series win in 2002 and will provide them a big boost.

South Africa made a match of it, thanks largely to the crackling 99-run stand between Herschelle Gibbs and Justin Kemp, but both those innings were overshadowed by a sizzler from Yuvraj Singh.
