00:30It is my trip world champion of legends the India champions versus the West Indies
00:36champion. Match number six. That's the team Robin Uttapa, Naman Ojha, Suresh Raina, Yusuf Pathan, Irfan Pathan,
00:42Gurkirath also had a great day out. Pawan Negi looking to play his first game.
00:46Dawal Kulkarni, Harbhajan Singh and Anurit also looking to play his first
00:49game. So no Rahul Shukla and no Vinay Kumar. Maybe Vinay Kumar comes in as the
00:54impact player. Look at Chris Gayle. I love that beard. It's getting a little
00:58white but he's still fit, he's still strong. Smith looked really good. Walton I
01:03thought he was it was a pretty good inclusion. He might open the batter dead
01:08and Carter, Nurse, Edwards they all can hit big. So they're always a dangerous
01:12side. Looking at their bowling I think Edward, Badri, Ben and Best comes in.
01:17So it's a very very strong lineup.
01:28Straight away on the mark. He's done that time and time again when he was playing
01:33much more serious competitive cricket. He thinks that he can do the job. First delivery and
01:43straight to the man. A backward point. That is a massive wicket. Noman Ojha who
01:50looked good in the previous match gone early. He just got stuck in the hand. It
01:56was one of those deliveries that Noman Ojha would have liked to see at the back
02:00of the boundary. But just getting that top edge and Noman Ojha departs for
02:06naught. It's 1 for 1 the India champions. He's not gonna keep it down. Great swing
02:14of the bat. That's where he plays and he's gonna carry on playing his own way.
02:20He was looking for an out swinger and Otafa is so good on the legs.
02:30The outside edge gets the boundary and Noman Otafa with a smile apologizing to
02:37Fidel Edwards. But he will take that boundary. Take that. Take that. That's the
02:46first one.
02:50It was in the slot and always those free-flowing arms that never holds back.
03:02Noman Otafa gets one as well. The second is my trip six for the India
03:08champions this time around. Beautifully turned by Noman Otafa.
03:14Small boundaries. You get half of the bat on that new ball. This one is the middle
03:19of the bat. Look at that. Look at that. That is another one is my trip. Another
03:31six. If you're not allowed to ball bouncer that's what batters can do. They
03:36can just run down to you and meet you in the middle of the pitch and can
03:40hit you those big sixes. Look at the cap lies that free hit was Noman Otafa
03:48will get that boundary. Chipping it over mid-off. This team didn't come down
03:57straight this time. It might just roll over the boundary. Expensive over. One
04:09bounce and will take that boundary short. What about this one? Has he timed it? Yes
04:19he has. How many sixes has he hit? He's dealing in sixes only. In the slot. Noman Otafa
04:30just read it like a book. Previous occasion it was off the back foot. Knew
04:33the bowler's going to look to compensate the length as well. Has he timed it? Has
04:39he timed it? No. And will get that boundary. Just long on. Was outside that 30-yard
04:47circle. Mid-off was in the 30-yard circle. Got him. Got him.
04:56Ashley Nurse. The man with the golden arm. That's his fifth wicket in the
05:01tournament. The wicketkeeper gave a chance. Asked him to come back but he was so far
05:10away out of his crease. Walter has too much time to take those bails off. 63 for
05:18two. Raina hit a couple of good shots. Gone for 19. Oh it's gone straight up in
05:25the air. It's up a long long way and it's a good catch. Fidel Edwards takes the
05:33catch and it's a fast bowlers union. I think that catch might have been
05:37slightly closer to your good self. Pace on. Robby Utapa. He just scoops it in the
05:44air and probably the only ball he's mistimed all tournament and then it's yes
05:50Tito. Robby Utapa. 43 for 18. 65 for three.
05:59Yuvraj. That is so typically Yuvraj Singh. Over extra. Just an elegant flow of the
06:06bat.
06:12That's four. He just picked his spot. He knew exactly where the gap was on that
06:18leg side. Right. Ashley Nurse. That has been just guided away for four. Short.
06:29Pulled away. It's a mighty blow.
06:38Cut away. Beautiful shot to finish the over with the boundary. That extra
06:42delivery is meant. That over's gone for 13. Has he got enough of it? Of course he
06:50has. Yuvraj Singh. He's used to hitting he's my trip sixes. He did it six times
06:56and one over. It's a boundary and just because those ropes haven't taken back a
07:04bit. Gone again. Has he got enough of this? You bet he has. This time it's an
07:13ease my trip six. Sulemban Ben under the puck. Just in the slot for Yuvraj. He's
07:20got the confidence. He's seen that vacant area. His favorite spot. It's lucky
07:26Wilco's not here. He'd be on and on about that. Ease my trip six and he just eased
07:32it over the ropes. Indian fans enjoying it. Now Yuvraj Singh is getting a move on
07:38and they want a repeat of that famous over in South Africa. But look at that
07:47with ease. He just sends it over.
07:56Not great fielding that. Yuvraj Singh I think has hurt his back. Maybe it was
08:01that last shot. Trying to hit another ease my trip six. It is still a game of
08:12cricket. I get it. We don't want to see any injuries. What a shot that was. Use of
08:16pace. Beautiful timing. Boundary. What a shot. Beautiful looking shot. Lovely
08:25timing. It's another ease my trip six. After Yuvraj's retirement, things were
08:32getting a bit slow. Now we are back on track.
08:38High and handsome. Over deep mid-wicket. Ease my trip six and that also brings up
08:46Gorkiran Manza 50. Really well played with a strike rate of 159. Maybe one
08:53slower ball too many from Navin Stewart. As well as the first five balls did the
09:02trick. Maybe just made it a little bit too obvious, the game plan.
09:10And gets hit for the boundary.
09:18Slices it. Straight to the man. It was there to hit Nikhil. It was there to hit.
09:28Kirk Edwards says right enough torture for Tino. Good from Murifan Pathan. 18
09:34in the partnership of 47 and it's 186 for four. Gorkiran Man this time around
09:43finds the middle of the bat. Uses that angle really well. Over deep square leg.
09:51That's six. Brings up the 200 for the India champions as well with another
09:56ease my trip six. Such a good player.
10:01Lovely manipulator of the ball. That one goes over the ropes but generally when
10:09he's looking for a four, a boundary four. This has gone really really high and also
10:17it's got the distance that Gorkiran Man was looking for. That's another ease my trip six.
10:22We'll keep an eye on Gorkiran Man's legs here. How he gets low and also almost
10:28helps the ball on its way up. Look how he just dips that back leg and that enables
10:33him to almost scoop the ball up. Oh that sounded beautiful. Looked even better.
10:43Ease my trip six. Got the length that went really deep in the crease and right at
10:51the end the whip. The wrist coming into action as well. That's your power from
10:57Gorkiran Man. He's looking to improvise. He's looking to go towards fine line.
11:05We'll take that boundary. The one bounce over short serve. How well did he get that
11:15from outside off stump. Because you got five fielders in the 30-yard circle. No
11:20man at deep square leg. Gorkiran Man well aware of the field setting and just
11:26found that gap that he was looking for.
11:31Missed out Gorkiran. But terrific last over from the India champions point of
11:40view. Getting 18 from that last over. A little expensive was Fidel Edwards but
11:45what an innings by Gorkiran Man. 86 not out of just 42 deliveries.
11:51West Indies bonus but generally was tough going. Excellent from the India
11:56champions this evening. Robin Utapa once again played beautifully. First 43 off 18.
12:03Suresh Raina 19 from 12. Yuvraj retired hurt. Forget about the 38 from 25. Retired hurt
12:10is the key there. Gorkiran Man what a lovely innings that was. Full of
12:14enterprising strokes. Some wonderful power. 86 from 42. 229 for 5 with 22
12:23extras. Samuel Badri again expensive. Fidel Edwards one for 55 but absolutely
12:31carted. Ashley Nurse one for 31. Tina Best it was expensive but was excellent
12:36first two wickets. Could easily have picked up four or five truth be told.
12:40Well India champions have got 229. The West Indies champions with the chase
12:44need 230 for winning this game.
12:54Straight away finds the middle of the bat. Now watch the India champion bowlers
12:59trying to keep it away from bowling. Dwayne Smith would be looking to just
13:03shuffle across and try and fetch it from that off some land. That's the first
13:09boundary that the West Indies champions were looking for. Yeah another boundary
13:16just placing it beautifully down at third man. Third man up in the circle
13:20easy pickings. I was surprised that the game was not stopped because it rained
13:27quite a bit and for a long period. That's another magnificent cover drive. So calm
13:34Chris Gayle.
13:37What a good sound again. That's four more. He's hardly touched this Chris Gayle and
13:44it's pinged off the middle of that bat for four. Smashed. Can't see it. We can now
13:53because it's hit the cover out there beyond the boundary. 28 for no wicket
13:59from three.
14:05Smith is up a long time and it's a good catch. Yeah he's having a wonderful day
14:13today. Gurkirath first with the bat scoring 86 and now this catch. It was in
14:22the air for a long period and plenty of time to get under it. Look at those eyes
14:26and hands. 30 for one and Smith gone for 14. Third one. Three on the shot. Three
14:38dot balls and also on the money and that rain has just got a little heavier and
14:44now it's really looking to come down. Well at least the five overs Abhishek
14:49have been completed so that it should be constituted as a complete game if the
14:56game from here on in doesn't start again. You have enough time to wait that extra
15:02time that you get about an hour, hour and a half to wait for the rain to go away but at
15:06least the five overs are done. Play was suspended at 6.56 local time. We've had a
15:14deluge of rain. You can see how hard that the ground staff have been working. The
15:18umpires have constantly come out and reviewed the situation but unfortunately
15:24due to the rain and the fact that the game needed to start and be concluded by
15:3110 past 10 local time the groundsmen needed at least an hour to get everything
15:36ready that the umpires have decided that the match would have to be called off
15:41early because of the rain. We still have a result though and the result is as you
15:48see at the bottom. The West Indies obviously were set that 230 to win. They
15:53only got to 31 for one from the 5.3 overs and the DLS average score at that
15:59stage was 58 so they would have had to be 59 and hence why right at the bottom
16:04there Indian champions won by 27 runs DLS. So good for the Indian champions. Two
16:10games, two wins. Gokirat Mann was excellent with his 86 from 42. Tino Best
16:15with a couple of wickets. Utapa with 43 and in reply well they just couldn't get
16:20going. India were very good.
