India lose a thriller against WI despite Rahul's century

August 27, 2016 23:10

India 244-4 (20 ovs) vs WI 245-6 | Scorecard

Bravo to bowl the final over. Dhoni throws his bat at the first ball but gets a thick outside edge but Marlon Samuels at short thirdman drops the easiest of catches.

A single makes it seven needed from five balls for victory and Bravo is really fuming at Samuels' poor effort.

Rahul makes room but can't beat the fielder at deep point for a single. 6 needed from 4 balls.

Dhoni has a swing on the leg side but can't get it away and picks a leg bye. 5 needed from 3 balls.

Bravo bowls a low full toss as Rahul drives it to long-on for just a single.

The last ball is a yorker which Dhoni gets over the bowler on the bounce for two runs to make it two needed from the last ball for victory.

Dhoni can't finish off the match as he is caught off the last ball of the match at short thirdman as India lose by 1 run.
