Bravo-inspired Windies beat India by seven wickets

Dwayne Bravo bulldozed defending champions India with bat and ball to hand the West Indies an emphatic seven-wicket win in the Twenty20 Super Eights match on Friday.

Bravo claimed four wickets in India’s 153-7 before smashing 66 not out off 36 balls to lead his team home with eight balls to spare in a group E game before a packed Lord’s here.

Bravo signalled the entertaining win by lofting pace spearhead Zaheer Khan for six as the West Indies gained important points ahead of their remaining matches against South Africa and hosts England.
