West Indies won the toss the second time around at the Kallang. On the reserve day of the final of the Coca Cola Singapore Challenge , the West Indies captain Brian Lara put India in to bat. Courtney Walsh, who dismissed Tendulkar the previous day did the job once more for his captain. He bowled a tight line and length and cramped Tendulkar throughout the first over. Walsh banged the last ball of the first over just short of a length outside the off-stump. It was a ball that Tendulkar had to offer a stroke to. The ball flew off the outside edge to thirdman. Hendy Bryan at thirdman juggled the ball, and on the third attempt got hold of it. With Tendulkar back in the pavillion after just one over, with no runs on the board, India were on the back-foot immediately.

Sadagopan Ramesh, looked uncomfortable against the high quality fast bowling of Courtney Walsh, did not last very long. With the score on 27, Ramesh hit a simple catch to Brian Lara and was gone, having scored just 13. Rahul Dravid came in at the fall of Ramesh's wicket. Though Dravid had not been in the best of form in the recent past, he looked solid. Dravid batted sensibly along with Ganguly and pushed the Indian score along. Both Ganguly and Dravid settled into a good rhythm and kept the scoreboard ticking over. Dravid began to regain batting touch and tackled the West Indian bowling with confidence. Nehemiah Perry, the off-spinner was perhaps the weak link in the West Indian attack and both batsmen scored freely off him. Ganguly then tried to hit Perry over long-on, but was caught by Dillon in spectacular fashion.Dillon raced along the boundary ropes and threw himself full length and held the catch. The effort left him with a sore shoulder. The fall of Ganguly's wicket was crucial, and it ended a 78 run partnership. Ganguly had made 46 off 67 balls.

Vinod Kambli was the next man in and he failed yet again. In the match played on 7th September Kambli got off the mark by coming down the wicket and hitting Perry for six. This time around, Kambli showed no such aggressive intent. Kambli pushed his front foot out, to defend a ball from Perry and over balanced in the preocess. Ridley Jacobs whipped off the bails in a flash and Kambli was gone having scored just one run. At 108 for 4 India were in trouble. Nikhil Chopra was once again sent in ahead of Robin Singh and played the innings of his life. Chopra batted fluently and played the ball to all parts of the ground. He played himself in and then began to cut loose. At one stage Chopra was 27 off 44 balls. From then on, Chopra swung the bat cleanly and moved rapidly to 61 off 63 balls. Chopra's knock included 3 fours and 3 sixes. Chopra was finally out trying to heave Perry out of the ground. The ball took the top-edge and flew straight up in the air. Jacobs got under the ball and comfortably took the catch. Chopra's innings had taken India to a very stable position at 210 for 5. While Chopra was going well, Rahul Dravid found form and took over. At the fall of Chopra's wicket Robin Singh came out to the middle. With very few overs remaining, Singh tried to flat-bat Adams over long-on and was well caught by the substitue fielder Griffiths at the boundary. Dravid's unbeaten effort of 103 off 124 included 8 fours and 2 sixes. India finished up with 254 from their allotted 50 overs. Taking into account the fact that Tendulkar was dismissed for a duck, India had clawed its way back into the match.

India came out to bowl, all fired up. Debashish Mohanty attacked the West Indian batsmen from the first ball, and neither Campbell or Jacobs looked comfortable. Campbell shuffled across his stumps and played down the wrong line to a straight ball from Mohanty. The ball repped the pad below the knee roll and the umpire had no hesitation in giving him out. Jimmy Adams came in at number three and continued to play as he has throughout the Coca Cola Singapore Challenge. Ridley Jacobs hit a couple of boundaries, but was getting frustrated because he did not get enough of the strike. Jacobs swung across the line to a Mohanty straight ball and missed completely. He lost hios off-stump after he had made 20. West Indies were 31 for 2 as Brian Lara joined Adams. Adams played excessively cautiously and barely managed to rotate the strike. In contrast, Lara looked in ominous form as he swung Chopra through the on-side for consecutive boundaries. Lara raced to 18 off just 10 balls, including four cleanly struck boundaries. Trying to dominate Chopra completely, Lara dragged a ball from wide outside off-stump onto his stumps. At Lara's dismissal West Indies were 60 for 3. Just 7 runs later, Adams departed, being caught by Ganguly off Chopra. Adams patchy innings had yeilded 21 runs.

Ricardo Powell and Chanderpaul got together for what looked like West Indies' last hope of winning the game. Powell began to play an innings that took the game away from the Indians. Chanderpaul looked like the ideal foil to Powell and stroked the ball freely through the gaps. In a momentary lapse of concentration Chanderpaul hit a high full-toss from Kumble straight down Chopra's throat in the deep. The cause looked all but lost for West Indies at 128 for 5.

Nehemiah Perry joined Powell and the Kallang Ground was witness to one of the finest One-Day knocks in recent times. Ricardo Powell collared the bowling to all parts of the ground in a supreme display of power hitting. When the ball was even slightly short Powell rocked back and sent the ball out of the ground. He drove the ball firmly through the off-side and gave the fielders no chance as the ball rocketed to the boundary. Powell was calm and composed when the West Indies were in strife. Powell brought up his fifty off justr 44 balls and did not slow down at all. Perry supported Powell excellently and his mature knock helped Powell to keep going. Powell's swashbuckling knock of 124 off 93 balls included 9 fours and 8 huge sixes. Powell was finally dismissed as he top-edged a pull to Rahul Dravid. Powell had taken West Indies to the doorstep of victory. Hendy Bryan and Nehemiah Perry took West Indies to victory with 2.2 overs to spare. Ricardo Powell was undisputedly the man of the match and the man of the series.

The West Indies won the Singapore Coca Cola Challenge in characteristic calypso fashion.
