Champions Trophy 2013: Game-changing moments

[1]

Pollard's dismissal:
 The final Group B match was a virtual quarterfinal.West Indies, in pursuit of West Indies, in pursuit of 231 in 31 overs, were 190/5 in 26 overs and looked on course for a victory. As the dark clouds hovered over the ground, the numbers still favoured the Windies as they were above the required D/L par score.
However, the dismissal of Pollard -who was going hard at the Proteas with 28 off 23 balls -that coincid off 23 balls -that coincided the arrival of rains changed the match on its head. West Indies were reduced to 190/6 in 26.1 overs and the match was declared a tie. Had Pollard survived for one more delivery, the fate of the Windies would have been different.
Dilshan's acrobatic catch:
The final group encounter between Sri Lanka and Australia was crucial for both the teams. While it was a monumental task for the Aussies -requiring to win the contest with a massive run rate, the fate of the Sri Lankans was in their own hands. They just needed a win to progress.
After failing to chase down the target of 254 in 29 overs to boost their run-rate, the Australians were out to spoil Lanka's chances.
When the last wicket pair of Clint McKay and Xavier Doherty looked threatening to pull it off, the situation demanded something special in the field. Tillakaratne Dilshan promptly came to Sri Lanka's rescue. His stunning one-handed diving catch off his own bowling to dismiss McKay sealed the contest.
Miller's run out:
David Miller was the man-in-form for South Africa coming into the Champions Trophy. Carrying a lot of expectations, the southpaw walked in to bat against India in the tournament opener with his side struggling at 184/5, chasing 332. Miller's stay in the middle, however, was short-lived. He was dismissed (run out) without even facing a ball. After Miller's dismissal, the Proteas still managed to put on a score in excess of 300. India would have struggled to defend the target if not for the early dismissal of the hard-hitting Miller, who is known for his exploits of bailing out his IPL franchise from tough situations.
Karthik's successful review:
In the match against West Indies, Dinesh Karthik walked in to the middle, requiring 107 runs from 30 overs.
He took guard and a pacy outswinger from Ravi Rampaul beat him comprehensively in the first ball he faced. To Karthik's surprise, what followed was a vociferous appeal from behind the stumps and the umpire raised his finger.
A confident Karthik showed no hesitation in referring the decision and there was a day-light between bat and ball. Karthik, who was on a comeback trail, went on to make an unbeaten 51 and it helped India win by eight wickets.
