Chris Gayle's whirlwind display of hitting helped West Indies pull off a thrilling 15-run win in the first ever Super Over contest in an international Twenty20. When West Indies tied the scores at 155 off the last ball of their innings, the crowd at Eden Park was witness to the latest rule in cricket and, batting first in the one mandatory Super Over, Gayle thumped Daniel Vettori for 25 runs to put pressure on the three New Zealand batsmen to come. In reply, the left-arm spinner Sulieman Benn held his nerve to take two wickets and concede just 15 from the four legal deliveries he bowled. Jacob Oram was caught in the outfield on Benn's third delivery before Ross Taylor hit the next ball, a shoulder-high no-ball, over the ropes for six. But Benn then yorked Taylor to complete a famous victory for the visitors.
