This was a group match between Australia and West Indies at the Kennington Oval in London. Australia had batted first and scored 169/7 in their 20 overs with David Warner scoring 63 and contributions from lower order batsmen.

When the time came for the West Indians to chase, Chris Gayle decided that he wanted to end the game in a hurry and with his opening partner Andre Fletcher going in the same vein, went after the Aussie bowlers in the most brutal form possible. Gayle took special liking to Brett Lee and hit Lee’s 3rd over and the 5th over of the match for 26 runs. He hit Lee for 3 sixes and 2 fours in the over, with two of the sixes going out of the ground.

Gayle scored 88 off 50 balls with 6 fours and 6 sixes and Fletcher made 53 from 32 balls and West Indies won the match in the 16th over, making 172/3.
