Bravo! Bravo! Bravo! Would you believe it. Goodness me. It was a length ball on off stump, Bravo absolutely nails it over deep mid wicket for a colossal hit. Its a gigantic hit and its in the Caribbean Sea ! Take a bow master.

Red Steel won by 4 wickets (with 0 balls remaining)
Joson: "WOW!!! What a match !!!"
Asad: "That was a fairytale for any cricket enthusiast!"
Qaiser: "What a finish... last ball Six...remind me Javed Miandad. Well done Bravo."
What a game of cricket we had! After the horrifying start to the innings Ramdin and Jimmy Neesham provided the oxygen needed and they managed to score 179. Ramdin played a knock of his life scored 84 of 45 and he missed Sunil Narine badly. Needing 180 to win on a improbable win Red Steel started pretty poorly and It was Bravo brothers. They left no clue whatsoever and Guyanese are shell shocked with the hitting.
It seemed Red Steel misread the script but it was Darren Bravo who saw his team home and he's been adjudged Man of the Match for his splendid innings.
