“We knew we had to play to win the game and not through Duckworth-Lewis, but still we were 10-15 runs behind,” he said.
Sangakkara’s pull shot found Pollard in the deep, Angelo Mathews was bowled by Sammy trying to play a scoop shot and then Jayawardene fluffed his reverse pull to trigger a batting collapse aided by two run-outs down the order.
Samuels was adjudged Man of the Match, while Australia’s Shane Watson, highest scorer in the tournament and the second highest wicket-taker, was named the Player of the Tournament.
