Chanderpaul takes West Indies to incredible win

ARNOS VALE (St. VINCENT) JUNE 17. Shivnarine Chanderpaul (unbeaten 28) lashed 13 runs from the final four balls of the match off fast bowler Daryl Tuffey to inspire the West Indies to a remarkable victory over New Zealand in the fifth and final one-day international here on Sunday.

The home team overhauled New Zealand's formidable 291 for eight off 50 overs off the last ball of the match, losing six wickets. The West Indies needed 15 runs off the last over and was limited to a single and a leg-bye off the first two balls.

But Chanderpaul, returning after retiring hurt earlier, swatted Tuffey to all parts of the ground in the last four deliveries to spark an incredible series-clinching victory.

Three successive fours drew the scores level before, with the field drawn in, the single needed was achieved with another lofted shot over the infield. — AP
