ICC World Twenty20 Group A, Johannesburg: South Africa v West Indies 205-6 (20 ovs)Here are the Live Scores-South africa VS West Indies-World twenty20
Chris gayle, as expected, boosted West Indies to 205-6 and became the first centurion and the highest run scorer in the short history of the twenty20 cricket. The record previously belonged to the aussie captain Ricky Ponting who scored 98* against South Africa.
Gayle scored blistering 117 runs in just 57 balls after West Indies lost the toss and were asked to open with the bat in the inaugural match of the inaugural version of ICC world Twenty20.
He smashed 10 sixes, another record , and 7 fours and shared a record opening partnership with devon smith,who scored 35 runs of 34 balls.
After this Chris gayle got out,trying to pull a short-one from pollock, the other batsmen were not comfortable facing the African pace attack and got out at regulat intervals. Hence the momentum fell down.
It can be comfortably said that had it not been for gayle, The hosts would have easily been in the driving seat.
Anyways, Its still a chaseable target and we expect a fine reply from SouthAfrica too :)
