Host England out of World Cup T20 – West Indies defeat England in a rain affected match

Brief summary of the Match:
West Indies 82 for 5 (Sarwan 19*, Chanderpaul 17*) beat England 161 for 6 (Bopara 55, Pietersen 31) by five wickets (D/L method)

A rain curtailed match left England out of the T20 World Cup. England must have felt disheartened at the fact that after scoring a hefty 161 runs the target for West Indies was just 80 runs in 9 overs. Ravi Bopara fared well with the bat scoring 55 runs but all efforts of England batsmen went in vain as West Indies under the safe hands of the Ramnaresh Sarawan & Shivnarine Chanderpaul scampered West Indies for an important win which gave them a spot in the Semi Finals.
