Dhoni's Indians succumb to Gayle's force

West Indies beat India by seven wickets in their World Twenty20 Super Eights tie at Lord's yesterday.

Defending champions India suffered their first defeat in the tournament after wins over minnows Bangladesh and Ireland.

India were blown away by all-rounder Dwayne Bravo who slammed 66 of 36 balls to follow-up his four-wicket burst earlier. Bravo came into the tournament with a reasonably good IPL where he represented Mumbai Indians. His IPL captain Sachin Tendulkar watched the encounter from the stands.
