Damp conditions, moisture on the wicket and a second-string Indian team meant West Indies bowlers had everything in their favour as their captain won the toss in the only T20 played at Trinidad in 2011.

Darren Sammy, the captain, led from the front as he dismissed Shikhar Dhawan in the third over with a short delivery. He then sent back Virat Kohli and Parthiv Patel on successive deliveries in the 7th over courtesy of clever change of pace. In the following over India’s captain, Suresh Raina, too perished on a length ball and India was reduced to 56 for four in the 9th over.

Sammy finished his quota of four overs with impressive figures of 16 for four and created havoc by wrecking India’s top order. However, a sensible innings from Subramaniam Badrinath enabled India to reach 159 which proved too much for West Indies as they managed to get only 143 from their 20 overs.
