Chris Gayle is GONE and it is a huge blow for the West Indies!

It has been an excellent start with the ball for Pakistan Champions. Chris Gayle and Smith have not been able to touch ball with bat. They have only scored 7 runs in four overs and the required run-rate is climbing with every passing over. Who will break the shackles first?

The buzz around the game is increasing with the crowd building up for the second semifinal. However, first up, here is Chris Gayle and Dwayne Smith for the West Indies Champions in the 199-run chase.

Remember South Africa chased down 211 runs against them with nine wickets in hand.

What a recovery this is from Pakistan Champions!!

They were 10/3 at one stage but Younus Khan's 65 and then Aamer Yamin and Sohail Tanvir played more than cameos to take the team past the 200-run mark.

PAK-C - 102/6 in 13 overs.

Finally, a breakthrough for West Indies Champions as Dwayne Smith strikes in his first over of the game to bowl out settled Kamran Akmal.
