Suresh Raina directed from the front with a score 72 as India win over the hosts in the last and second Twenty20 International on Sunday with seven wicket.
Raina's 44-ball bang had two sixes and six four in it. Suresh Raina and Vijay batted with easiness and were rarely troubled by the peak bowlers. Vijay just missed out his half century but Raina preceded the excellent job and carried the Indian team home even after losing a good partner Yusuf Pathan.
In the opening 10 overs India made just 47 together with five boundaries, spinners struggled to hold flow of run and finally in the last over India made 93runs.

The slow bowlers could not able to made the same enchantment they did in the first Twenty20 and got 95 runs in the 12 overs mutually shared by Amit Mishra , Pragyan Ojha, and Ashwin. Ashwin made a good score of 48 runs out off his four overs.

Taibu made 45 out off 40 balls with two fours, created the hosts innings well .Charles Coventry made 28 in 13 balls rescued the side with a rebellious 43-run stand for the fourth wicket.

Earlier to that opener Brendan Taylor performed 27 in 33 to assist the side overcomes of the early losing game. Indian player, particularly Ashok Dinda did a marvelous job. The fast bowler gave away just 15 runs in his four-overs and took two wickets. This is a great advantage for Indian team. Things were placed wonderfully for India but rough batting by Coventry and Taibu made it a challenge for the visitors.
