The WI side chased down a 217-run target in 19.2 overs as Shane Watson's 48-ball century (107 off 52; nine fours and nine sixes) went in vain. Ashley Nurse, meanwhile, emerged as the most successful of the Windies bowlers, returning figures of three for 16, while Jerome Taylor and Ravi Rampaul picked two wickets apiece.

But, according to Ranaut, the CBFC didn’t object to the film but recognised the varied groups’ complaints. Emergency has indeed courted several controversies—some even before her incendiary comments. On August 21, the Akal Takht, the Sikhs’ highest temporal seat, and the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) demanded a ban on the film for trying to “character assassinate” Sikhs. The SGPC chief, Harjinder Singh Dhami, called a press conference, seeking an FIR against Ranaut. The movie, he added, could “cause anger and resentment in the Sikh community”.A week later, the Shiromani Akali Dal (or, well, SAD) issued a legal notice to the CBFC, demanding that the Censor Board revoke its certificate. It said Emergency distorted historical events and figures, especially Sikhs, “inciting communal tensions” and “spreading misinformation”. Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee, too, sent a similar letter to the censor board. Around the same time, Telangana Sikh Society’s 18-member delegation met the Adviser to the Telangana Government (SC, ST, OBC & Minorities), and raised concerns about the movie. On August 29, the Chief Minister, A Revanth Reddy, said his government would consider banning the film.

Simmons and Dwayne Smith struck quickfire fifties to lead the WI’s chase, with Brian Lara contributing with a 21-ball 33, and setting the tone with a 99-run third wicket stand with Simmons.
