In the second game of the DLF Cup against West Indies, India won the toss and elected to bat first. Opening the innings with Dravid, Tendulkar adorned the role of the aggressor first up, scoring the bulk of the runs in the 75-run partnership for the first wicket.

Once Dravid was sent back by Dwayne Smith, Pathan walked out at three and the duo stitched together a partnership of 125 runs. While the all-rounder was dismissed for 64, Tendulkar carried on to make a well-made 141 in 148 deliveries, with 13 boundaries and five sixes! He was particularly harsh on Dwayne Bravo and Fidel Edwards.

India made 309 in their stipulated overs and the West Indies had raced away to 141 in 20 overs before the rain came pouring down. The West Indies needed to be at 113 in 20 overs according to the D/L method, and the game was handed over to them.
