Windies knock India out of World T20

Gayle came agonisingly close to becoming the first to make two international Twenty20 centuries. But his superb knock took the West Indies to a challenging 169 for six in 20 overs after being put to bat by India skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni on a dampish pitch at the Kensington Oval.

The Indians were pathetic in their chase and the in-form Suresh Raina top scored with 32 before the innings folded for 155 for nine in 20 overs.

They were again out done by the short-deliveries, in a repeat of the last year's World Twenty20 against the same opponents.
