Both batsmen added 120 runs for the second wicket, and it was their sixth 100-run stand between the two. The left-hander was looking good for a big score, but unfortunately he got run out for 72 runs. But the skipper was solid at the other crease. He brought up yet another half-century. However, it was looking like he would get his fourth successive ODI century to equal the record of Kumar Sangakkara. But against the run of play, he was dismissed by Akeal Hosein. The skipper scored 77 off 93 balls. In the end, the home team managed 275/8 in their 50 overs.
