Superb Sarwan Leads Windies To Win

Sarwan - super knock.

A superb bowling effort and a fine rearguard action by Ramnaresh Sarwan and Denesh Ramdin helped the West Indies secure a tense five-wicket win via the Duckworth-Lewis method in their rain-affected second one-day international in New Zealand.

With the match reduced to 28 overs per side after a four-hour rain delay in Christchurch, the Windies were set a target of 158 after they kept the Black Caps to 152 for eight in their innings.

The West Indies looked dead and buried at 110 for five in the 23rd over but a quickfire 28 from 18 deliveries by Ramdin and 67 off 65 from Sarwan saw the tourists win to go 1-0 up in the five-match series.
