Chasing 156 for victory, West Indies tied the scores at 155 off the last ball of their innings, to force the first one mandatory super over. Gayle then launched into Daniel Vettori taking 25 runs off the over before Sulieman Benn restricted the Kiwis to 15 for 2 in their over to give the Windies victory by 15 runs under the super over ruling.
