West Indies started very well while chasing the target. The openers added 64 runs for the first wicket. They looked good when Dwayne Smith and Kieron Pollard were at the crease. However, Pollard’s dismissal brought back pressure on the team. The Indian spinners did a tremendous job to bowl well despite the dew factor.
Dwayne Smith’s excellent 97 went in vain, as West Indies bowled out for 215 in 46.3 overs and lost the match by 48 runs. Kieron Pollard (40) and Darren Bravo (26) were the other top contributors. For India, Shami took four wickets, while Jadeja took three wickets. Amit Mishra took two wickets.
