Rain-marred win just Super for Windies

West Indies won through to the second round Super Eights of the World Twenty20 after beating England by eight wickets in a match turned on its head by rain here on Monday. England made a challenging total of 191 for five, featuring 55 from former Ireland batsman Eoin Morgan, after being sent in to bat by West Indies captain Chris Gayle. But rain, which had interrupted Sri Lanka's victory over Zimbabwe earlier here Monday, effectively rendered that score meaningless.

Instead, the West Indies were left with a revised target of 60 in six overs under the Duckworth/Lewis method for rain-affected matches and they got home with a ball to spare.

England now have a winner-takes-all clash against Ireland, who suffered a 70-run Group D thrashing by the West Indies last week, here on Tuesday to decide which team will join the hosts in the Super Eights.

Paul Collingwood, England's Twenty20 captain, made no attempt to hide his feelings. "Obviously we are very, very frustrated. I thought the boys played what was a fantastic game today," he told Sky Sports 1.

Runs on the board

"I think 95 percent of the time when you put 191 runs on the board you are going to win the game.

"Somehow Duckworth/ Lewis seems to bring that equation down a fair bit.

"I don't know what equation you should have but you shouldn't have that one.

"It does get very frustrating as a team when you've pretty much played a very good game there and you still come out losers," the all-rounder added.

"We wanted to win both games, but we have to win tomorrow (Tuesday)." There was a brief moment of worry for the West Indies when off-spinner Graeme Swann took two wickets in two deliveries to leave the home side 42 for two in the fourth over. PROVIDENCE, Guyana, Tuesday AFP
