Chasing 187 runs to win, half-centuries from Dwayne Smith and Narsingh Deonarine saw West Indies through to the knockout stage of the tournament. However, the Windies that was cruising throughout in the chase got a scare when they needed 1 to win in two balls. Lara stepped out to hit off-spinner James Tredwell but missed the ball and got stumped.

It's not very common for a cricketer to say that the "best cricket team" he has ever played is a franchise and not his country but for West Indies all-rounder, Chennai Super Kings is his top team
