WINDIES post 205-4 in T/20 semis
KINGSTON, Jamaica — Bolstered by a blistering half century from talismanic opening batsman Chris Gayle and powerful hitting at the end by Kerron Pollard the Windies posted a competitive 206-4 against Australia in the second semi-final of the World T/20 in Colombo, Sri Lanka today.
Gayle batted out the full compliment of overs and was in imperious form as he destroyed the Australian bowling attack. He was supported by Pollard, Dwayne Bravo and Marlon Samuels after opening partner Johnson Charles fell cheaply.
The winners of the match will challenge hosts Sri Lanka in Sunday’s final.
