316.67 - Robin Uthappa's scoring rate against Dwayne Bravo. In six deliveries, he hammered Bravo for 19 runs.
4 for 39 -Bravo's bowling figures, which are his best in an ODI and a testament to how he came back after the initial mauling. These figures beat his earlier record of 3 for 14 against Bangladesh in the Champions Trophy last year.
42.22 - Marlon Samuels's ODI average against India in India, which is much better than his career average of 29.37. In only 11 such games, he has hit one hundred and three half-centuries.
33.50 - Brian Lara's ODI average against India. His 83 at Chennai was only his sixth fifty-plus score in 41 games against them.

7.73 - Sreesanth's economy rate in the West Indian innings (67 runs in 8.4 overs). It was the sixth time in 24 ODIs that he has gone for more than seven runs per over.
