West Indies pluck a thriller
December 05, 2011 18:01
India's stand-in-captain Virender Sehwag won the toss and elected to bowl first. Vinay Kumar drew the first blood for the hosts as Parthiv Patel took a stunner behind the wickets to dismiss Lendl Simmons for only 1-run.

Motera saw it all. And all in a day. West Indies surrendered, rebelled back, thrashed around while India struck, fell, collapsed, resurrected only to finish second best. Take a look to get a better sense of 50-over-a-side drama.

Marlon Samuels played a careful knock of 58 runs in 93 balls to give the Windies score the much needed impetus. R Ashwin though, had his own plans ready.

Ashwin eventually claimed Samuels, his only wicket. Samuels in a hurry to accelerate the scoring started dancing around his crease, exposing all 3 stumps even before the ball was delivered. Ashwin noticed it and fired a quick and flat delivery to disturb his off stump.

In spite of a dominating display of bowling by the Indian bowlers for most part of the match, a relentless display of power hitting by captain Darren Sammy (41) and Andre Russell (40) took the West Indies score to a respectable 260/5.

The Indian bowlers' inexperience showed in the death overs, and most of them had absolutely no answers to the scintillating stroke-play by the West Indian lower-middle order.

After the brilliant display of batting by their lower-order batsmen, the West Indian bowlers fired in unison to romp through the Indian top order and reducing the score to 105/6 in 20.5 overs.

It was Rohit Sharma's 95 that took the hosts within touching distance of what otherwise looked like an impossible target.

Sharma hit 10 boundaries and a six but was eventually run-out by Darren Sammy. Abhimanyu Mithun slapped two sixes and two boundaries but West Indies finally prevailed to stay alive in the 5-match series.
