India Masters set the tone with a commanding batting display, led by blistering half-centuries from Ambati Rayudu (63 off 35) and Saurabh Tiwary (60 off 37), before Yuvraj바카라™s late-order fireworks (49 not out off 20) propelled them to an imposing 253/3.
In response, West Indies Masters matched India바카라™s aggression with an explosive start. Dwayne Smith (79) and William Perkins (52) launched a fierce counterattack, slamming destructive fifties and forging a menacing 121-run opening stand. But just when the visitors looked in control, Stuart Binny바카라™s introduction turned the tide, his crucial breakthroughs derailing the chase and steering India Masters to a memorable victory.
In the end, Binny바카라™s three-wicket burst, and a smart final over from Irfan Pathan got India Masters over the line.
