 In a surprising revelation of his destructive side, Sanjay Bangar overshadowed the contrasting centuries by Rahul Dravid and Chris Gayle as India pulled off another memorable victory, defeating West Indies by five wickets in the fourth one-day international here to ay.
Bangar, known more for his gritty role as a Test opener, produced a swashbuckling unbeaten 57 off just 41 balls with five fours and two sixes which helped India overtake West Indies’ mammoth total of 324 for four with 2.2 overs to spare to record the third highest successful chase in the history of one-day cricket.
 The victory, which saw India equalise the seven-match series 2-2, revived memories of their stupendous win over England in the NatWest Trophy final at Lord’s in July where the Indians had successfully chased 325.
By defeating West Indies today India have squared the seven-match series 2-2.
West Indies scored 324 for four in their stipulated 50 overs and India reached the target with five wickets and 2.2 overs to spare. Scorecard
