Shivnarine Chanderpaul was the backbone of the innings making 65
valuable runs. The left-hander was caught in the deep, attempting
to clear the ground. Still requiring 60 runs to win and just
three wickets in hand, Sarwan walked out to bat to a standing
ovation and thunderous applause at Newlands. Sarwan was a man on
mission; he flayed the ball to all parts of the field, hitting
the ball cleanly. Sarwan found good support in Drakes, as they
took West Indies to just 16 runs away from win with two overs to
spare. And then Muralitharan took over, bowling a brilliant 49th
over, giving away just the two runs. Sarwan tried his best - and
after the 50th over bowled by Pulasthi Gunaratne, West Indies
fell short by six runs. Vaas was named Man of the Match for his
little cameo with the bat and the excellent bowling analysis of
10-3-22-4.
