How does Sachin complete his century and win the match?

Question

Sachin is on 99 at non striker end.
Ganguly is the striker.
1 ball to go. 1 run to win.
How does Sachin complete his century and win the match?

Answer 1

Sachin attempt to run as the bowler runs in (ball is live once he commences his run up). Ganguly would need to cross, and bowler would affect the run out at the bowlers end, so Ganguly is out and ball is not counted.

Now Sachin on strike on 99 and one ball remaining and he made a six :)

The batsmen can never cross in such an attempt.
Law 42.16: Batsmen stealing a run
It is unfair for the batsmen to attempt to steal a run during the bowler’s run up. Unless the bowler attempts to run out either batsman – see 15 above and Law 24.4 (Bowler throwing towards striker’s end before delivery) – the umpire shall
(i) call and signal Dead ball as soon as the batsmen cross in such an attempt.
(ii) inform the other umpire of the reason for this action.
(iii) return the batsmen to their original ends.
(iv) award 5 penalty runs to the fielding side.
(v) inform the batsmen, the captain of the fielding side and, as soon as practicable, the captain of the batting side, of the reason for this action.
(vi) together with the other umpire report the occurrence as soon as possible after the match to the Executive of the batting side and to any Governing Body responsible for the match, who shall take such action as is considered appropriate against the captain and players concerned.

Answer 2

In the next match, he will score century and win the Match for India....
Question doesn't say that it should be in the same match...
