00:00Even in their 50s, the cricket gods provided us with another chapter of the Brian Lara vs. Sachin Tendulkar battle
00:06But it was Dwayne Smith doing all the early damage as the skipper Lara looked on. It wasn't his classic drive
00:12But the Prince of Portaspain worked this one to the boundary
00:18But he wasn't there either for a good or a long time
00:23And India would look to take advantage as they struck a few blues
00:26The biggest blue was that of Smith on 45
00:33Lendl Simmons though would help the West Indies cause
00:39He would provide a needed punch in the late overs as he raised his 50
00:45But when he fell on 57 the Caribbean masters were sitting to fall below a challenging total as they would stutter to
00:52148 for 7 of their 20 overs
00:55In contrast, India would make a solid start with Ambati Raidu and Tendulkar at the crease
01:01But the little master would not be the one doing the damage at the start
01:06As Raidu was picking off the West Indies pacers in the power play
01:11Tendulkar would not be held back for long as he showed his class and every stroke he made was driving his fans crazy
01:20But he would be bested by Tino Best with the score on 67
01:25Without a demanding required run rate
01:29India were in control as Raidu impressed and the frustration took its toll on Best as India were cruising
01:35Raidu eventually departed on a man-of-the-match top score of 74
01:40As India eased home on 149 for 4 in 17.1 overs
01:46Taking the inaugural International Masters League crown on home soil. Terence Clark, TV6 Sport
