MUMBAI: West Indian firepower Chris Gayle’s unbeaten hundred helped his team chase down the mammoth target of 183 in the third Super-10s game of ICC World Twenty20 2016 at Wankhade Stadium, Mumbai.
West indies skipper Daren Sammy invited England to bat first on a flat track.

Joer Root (48), Buttler (30) and Morgen (27*) helped England to post a good total on the board.
West Indies in reply, were a little shaky, as they lost first two wickets earlier in the power-play.
