- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR4.5 reward for some excellent bowling by Mendis, Charles doesn't see any point in using the crease against Mendis so he decides to give him the charge, fails to read the googly and he's a long way out, easy stumping 16/15.1 Kula's got the Big Fish! Look at the bowler celebrate, slower ball - leg cutter - and really wide of the off stump, Gayle couldn't resist chasing that after being subdued for so long, thick outside edge and it loops towards Sangakkara who dives and takes the catch 16/219.2 excellent catch by Dilshan! He pulls a short one on front of square and it was in the air for quite a while, Dilshan ran to his right from long-on and kept his eyes on the ball, two fielders converge 123/514.3 big blow for West Indies with the solid Bravo gone! It was short and turned a bit too, Bravo rocked back and pulled it over mid-on, long-on takes it easily in front of the rope 81/315.5 that's Mendis' 100th wicket in T20s (including domestic)! And he gets the big man, pushed through quicker and Pollard was forward, beaten in flight and yorked himself 90/4Extras4 (b 1, lb 3)TOTAL129/5 (20 Overs, RR: 6.45)Fall of wickets: 1-16 (Johnson Charles, 4.5 ov), 2-16 (Chris Gayle, 5.1 ov), 3-81 (Dwayne Bravo, 14.3 ov), 4-90 (Kieron Pollard, 15.5 ov), 5-123 (Marlon Samuels, 19.2 ov)
