Los Angeles: Sachin’s Blasters suffered their third successive defeat against Warne’s Warriors, going down by four wickets in a last-over thriller, to lose the Cricket All-Stars T20 Series 0-3 at the Dodger Stadium here.  Indian stalwarts, Sachin Tendulkar (56) and Sourav Ganguly (50) showed glimpses of the past, as they hit half-centuries to help their team post a challenging 219 for five in 20 overs.

However, the Warriors overhauled the target with just one ball to spare, scoring 224 for six, riding on some spectacular innings by Kumar Sangakkara (42), Ricky Ponting (43) and Jacques Kallis (47).  
Electing to bat, skipper Tendulkar laid the foundation for a big total, as he first shared a 23-ball 55-run partnership with Virender Sehwag (27) and then forged a 74-run stand with Mehela Jayawardene (41) in just 34 balls.
