Roared on by a raucous home crowd, they set a new record for the highest powerplay score at a T20 World Cup and continued on to their highest total in the history of the tournament.
After Pooran's edgy six, he followed with a no-ball that was pulled for four by Pooran before the subsequent free hit flew for wides over the wicketkeeper's head. Still the pain was not done - four leg-byes and two sixes followed.
