That's one real close match. Hats off to Mahela for an amazing innings, played a lone hand. Think those 22 extras bowled by the Windies made all the difference. But all the credit goes to Herath, that he could defend 9 runs of the last over having someone like Pollard and Best on the crease. TBH, I was thinking of replacing him with Ajantha earlier this match. Silly me. Anyways, its been a good match, an exciting one. We'll go same for the next match, thanks. :)

India, reached the target very comfortably, but the frustrating point for them was the lack of aggression in the middle overs. Suresh Raina, tried hard to finish it as fast he could, though he could't do it with a bonus point for India, it was just enough for India to qualify with a better NRR than Sri Lanka. It was only a matter of few overs to decide who goes through!

India won by 6 wickets
  
Man of the match: Suresh Raina

Ah, can't believe what just happened. Still, down to -0.21 from +0.5. That's some margin. Anyways, best of luck to the other teams. :)

Only after I started calculations I realised that Lanka is out, had prepared the presentation before as if you were through. Never mind, just didn't click in the last match for. :thumbs

Stats as of Round 2 are now on display. Check them, and choose your players wisely for the final.

Can't believe we actually pulled it off. For a change, we clicked in all departments in this game. Wonder what on earth made me leave out Zaheer in the first few matches. :p

Hope they can repeat this in the final. Lineup coming shortly..

It was only the 2nd over of the innings when Ishant gave India the most important breakthrough, he made Gayle play across the line and it struck on the batsman's pads. Indian crowd erupted in joy, as they had Gayle in the bag, who was most successful batsman in the series so far.

Pretty nice total on a normal pitch :).
Charles played really well to stay in there & work hard for the runs,until Lendl Simmons the thrasher spoiled India's amazing run,played completly to my expectation.The Captain put in a solid score yet again.
Dwayne Bravo easily man of the series :p

We held the upper hand at one stage but let the innings slip away towards the end. Credit to Simmons and Bravo for the way they batted. Now its all up to our batsmen.
