Dhoni, bowlers steer India to quarterfinals

Holder then decided to switch gears. Using the long levers to excellent effect, he struck the ball straight, clean and beautiful, effortlessly transferring the pressure. Rohit put down another straightforward catch at mid-on as Taylor engaged his captain in a crucial stand of 51 for the ninth wicket.

It was an association dominated entirely by Holder. He didn’t farm the bowling – Taylor faced 18 off the 44-delivery span of the alliance – but whenever he came on strike, Holder smashed the ball a long way. He rattled from 13 off 31 deliveries at Sammy’s dismissal to his 50 in just 56 deliveries, and was eventually last man dismissed.
