WEST INDIES WIN BY 4 WICKETS WITH FOUR BALLS TO SPARE

The West Indies have won the series, taking an unassailable 2-0 lead with one game left.

11 Jan 2015

SIX! And it's all over. Sammy launches the ball out the ground.

11 Jan 2015

2 to win off 5 balls...

11 Jan 2015

That was the most expensive figures ever in a T20 by Abbott.

1/68 in 4 overs.

11 Jan 2015

West Indies 229/6

3 off the last 6 balls.

De Lange will bowl it.

11 Jan 2015

Safe to say this hasn't been Kyle Abbott's best day.

11 Jan 2015

FOUR! Do I have to tell you it's another full toss... dispatched.

7 off 8 needed.

11 Jan 2015

FOUR! Sammy smashes Abbott over extra cover. What a shot...

11 off 9.

11 Jan 2015

16 needed off 11 balls.

11 Jan 2015

FOUR! Another full toss, Ramdin inside edges it for a boundary to fine leg. A bit of luck for the West Indian.

1/50 in 3 overs from him.

Hold onto your hats folks!

11 Jan 2015

Ramdin is the new man in.

11 Jan 2015

WICKET! Another full toss gets a wicket.... Bravo will be kicking himself. He hit that straight to Ontong on the long off boundary... WHAT A GAME!

DJ Bravo c Ontong b Phangiso 10 (5b 1x4 1x6) SR: 200.00

11 Jan 2015

SIX! Too short from the spinner, Bravo smashes it over midwicket.

11 Jan 2015

Phangiso is back into the attack. A single and a dot ball off the first two...

11 Jan 2015

West Indies 202/4 after 17 overs

Run-rate: 11.88

Required Run-rate: 10.00

30 needed off 18...

11 Jan 2015

11 Jan 2015

Darren Sammy, the West Indies captain walks to the crease.

11 Jan 2015

WICKET! Abbott redeems himself... although Russell will be livid as he hits a full toss straight to the man at long off.

AD Russell c Miller b Abbott 14 (6b 1x4 1x6) SR: 233.33

11 Jan 2015

FOUR! Russell doing the business here. Abbott having a 'mare!

11 Jan 2015

SIX! Abbott has not learnt yet... searching for the blockhole, but in the slot, Russell smashes it over midwicket.

11 Jan 2015

Abbott back... Gayle had smashed him out of the attack. He has the best economy rate in local T20 cricket.

11 Jan 2015

West Indies 186/4 after 16 overs

Run-rate: 11.62

Required Run-rate: 11.50 (and climbing)

11 Jan 2015

The experienced Bravo is in next for the West Indies.

11 Jan 2015

WICKET! Wiese has another one. Pressure is a funny thing is it not! Wiese rolls his fingers over the ball, slightly shorter, Pollard hits it up in the air and Berhadien takes the catch.

KA Pollard c Behardien b Wiese 7 (5b 1x4 0x6) SR: 140.00

11 Jan 2015

FOUR! Very lucky from Pollard, he tries hit on the on side, but only gets a top edge over the keeper and down to the boundary.

11 Jan 2015

In the context of this game, four overs for 29 from Tahir is very good indeed. #SAvWI

11 Jan 2015

Russell, another big hitter is the new man in...

11 Jan 2015

WICKET! Hold on... game still on here! Samuels has holed out to long on... slightly short of a length from Wiese and Samuels got under that. Two new batsmen for the West Indies now.

11 Jan 2015

Pollard with a point to prove after not making the West Indies World Cup squad.

11 Jan 2015

Are YOU going to be able to say you were at the 438 game and, er, the 232 game?

11 Jan 2015

WICKET! Wiese has got the breakthrough, to little to late I fear. Gayle steers him straight into the waiting hands of Van Wyk. What an innings from the big West Indian.

11 Jan 2015
