| Rain takes sheen off Tendulkar ton | | Windies win on D/L method | |
Kuala Lumpur, Sep 14 Sachin Tendulkar's sizzling unbeaten 141 on comeback went in vain as the West Indies won the rain-hit second cricket one-dayer of the DLF Cup series by 29 runs on Duckworth-Lewis method here today.
Tendulkar seemed to have put India in the box seat with his scintillating knock, propelling the team to 309 for five in the day-night encounter at the Kinrara Oval.
But the Windies ran away with the victory after making 141 for two in 20 overs, which was more than the required par score of 112/2 at that stage, before showers disrupted the proceedings.
Opener Chris Gayle set up the chase with a 35-ball 45 and the momentum was sustained by Ramnaresh Sarwan, 37 off 49 balls, and captain Brian Lara, 27 off 30 balls.
West Indies had lost the opening match of the series by 78 runs against Australia on Tuesday.
India take on the three-time World Champions at the same venue on Saturday.
