Indians expected India to win this encounter. But they didn't. They lost to west Indies by 14 runs and are on the verge of exitting from T20WC. Gayle was brutal as ever for his 98. He was earlier dropped by yusuf Pathan and Dhoni while he was on 47 which then turned out to be a costly miss
Bad Decision again
India won the toss and elected to bowl first. India played with the same playing XI. Initially the run rate of windies was quite slow. courtesy some good bowling for Harbajan Singh. and Asish Nehra who picked three wickets.Then it started to peak at the right time. Gayle was brutal. He reached his fifty and then hardly took single. He just dealt in boundaries and unfortunately missed a ton. He ran himself out when he was on 98. Ecentually windies set a target of 170 for India
Different Day - Same Story
It may be a different oppositon. It may be a different set of bowlers. It was the same story but on yet another day. Bounce was the weapon used by windies. Eventually they succeded too. Openers were sent back at the early of the innings. Raina gave India some hope of Victory. But due to poor short selection he was out. After his departure , India lost wickets at regular interval. None was upto their potential. They ended up scoring just 155 runs
To Qualify for Semis , India should now win Srilanka either by 21 runs or should chase down the target within 17.4 overs. Also Australia should beat West Indies.
