Strike rate:136.36
How got Out: Not out
India stuttered in pursuit of 179 in their match against West Indies but eventually Rahul Dravid kept a cool head and steered his team to a six-wicket win with 14 overs to spare at Dambulla. West Indies, after choosing to bat, made a complete mess of things, and ended up with 178, a total that briefly challenged India, but eventually proved to be inadequate.
Bennett King, the West Indian coach, must be tearing his hair out at the performance of his batsmen. This depleted, second-string line-up, has given fans little room for hope. Their ineptness with the bat, followed up by an erratic performance in the field ensured that India picked up their first win in this tournament, albeit after a few scares, and the customary crisis knock from Dravid.
Result:India won by 6 wickets
Player of Match:Rahul Dravid
