Los Angeles, 15 November (CRICKETNMORE)<\/strong> \u0964 Warne's Warriors completed a 3-0 series sweep against Tendulkar's Blasters with a pulsating four-wicket win in the third T20 match of the Cricket All-Stars Series here.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Chosing to bat after winning the toss, skipper Sachin Tendulkar led from the front scoring a stroke-filled knock of 56 runs to post a strong total of 219 for five in 20 overs. Tendulkar was helped by his former opening partner Sourav Ganguly (50) in posting a big score at the Dodger Stadium on Saturday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Warriors overhauled the target on the penultimate ball of the match, losing six wickets. Their batting performance was spearheaded by Kumar Sangakkara (42), Ricky Ponting (43) and Jacques Kallis (47).<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Just as in the first T20 match of the series, the Tendulkar-Sehwag pair got the team to a rapid start, hitting a 23-ball 55-run partnership. After Virender Sehwag's (27) dismissal, Tendulkar showed no signs of stopping, striking a 74-run partnership with Mehela Jayawardene (41) off just 34 balls.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Both of them were then dismissed in quick succession, but Ganguly showed his vintage form and together with Carl Hooper (33 not out) ensured a big score with a 86-run stand off 51 balls.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Spinner Daniel Vettori (3\/33) put the brakes on Blaster's scoring. He was assisted by Courtney Walsh (1\/41) and Andrew Symonds (1\/33).<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Chasing 220, Warriors made the worst possible start with Michael Vaughan getting bowled off a Curtly Ambrose delivery.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Andrew Symonds also departed after a quick-fire 31, followed by Matthew Hayden (12) to reduce the Warriors to 52\/3.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Sangakkara and Jonty Rhodes (17) then steadied the innings and helped the team cross the 100-run mark.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

But they were still far behind in the run-rate and were dismissed in quick succession trying to up the ante.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Kallis and Ponting then blasted 88 runs off just 37 balls in a superb sixth-wicket stand to the doorstep of a win. Kallis was out with three runs still needed of as many balls.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The formalities were completed by skipper Shane Warne who lofted a six to seal the win.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Swann (2\/21) was the pick of the Blasters bowlers, with Curtly Ambrose (1\/45), Hooper (1\/37) and Sehwag (1\/12) grabbing a wicket each.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Brief scores: Sachin's Blasters 219\/5 in 20 overs (Sachin Tendulkar 56, Sourav Ganguly 50, Mahela Jayawardene 41; Daniel Vettori 3\/33); Warne's Warriors 224\/6 in 19.5 overs (Jacques Kallis 47, Ricky Ponting 43 not out, Kumar Sangakkara 42; Graeme Swann 2\/21)<\/p>\r\n\r\n
