India win a thriller by 2 runs.

With 4 needed to win from 2 balls, McDonald hits hard and high to long on but is caught. Hartley mistimes his shot for the winning runs and the best thay can do is scramble a single.

Brown scored a good 79 and Hartley, 47 from 44 balls.Badani was named Man of the Match for his 100.
