Former England one-day captain Adam Hollioake took a hat-trick on Monday to spur the International XI to a six-wicket win over the Asian XI in their Twenty20 Tsunami relief match at The Brit Oval in London on Tuesday.
Hollioake marked his return to The Oval, where he was a popular and innovative captain of English county Surrey, with the wickets of Rahul Dravid, Chaminda Vaas and Anil Kumble from successive deliveries.
Former Australia batsman Greg Blewett took the International XI past the Asian team's 157 with 91 not out from 61 balls, which included five sixes and seven boundaries.
India's Rahul Dravid, who captained the Asian XI, sparkled with a quickfire innings of 62 from 47 balls. The other Indian batsmen Virender Sehwag (1) and Mohammad Kaif (3) failed to make an impact.
Sri Lanka's Sanath Jayasuriya (27), Mahela Jayawardene (24), Kumar Sangakkara (15) and Chaminda Vaas (14) were the only other batsmen in double figures for the Asian XI.
Organisers added more than one million pounds ($1.83 million) to the relief fund for the tsunami, which struck off the Indonesian coast on December 26 last year.
Two other cricket fund-raising matches have been staged in Melbourne and at Lord's.
Brief scores:
Asian XI: 157 all out in 19.1 overs (Rahul Dravid 62, S Jayasuriya 27, Adam Hollioake 3-16)
International XI: 161-4 in 18.1 overs (Greg Blewett 91 not out, Scott Styris 39 not out).
Result: International XI won by 6 wickets
