So that is it from this game! We do have a decider which will be the third ODI. It will be played on the 22nd of December at 1330 local (0800 GMT). Till then, goodbye and take care!

Man of the Match, Rohit Sharma, says it was a much-needed victory for them after losing the first game, they wanted to be at their best and it all went good. The partnership with Rahul was important, he was taking his own time and Rahul allowed him to do so. Overall it was a complete performance. On Rahul, the Indian vice-captain says that he is a good talent and he makes it look very easy and he is a solid player who is growing in confidence. The running between the wickets between the two is not up to the mark but they will work on it. Says that he takes time to assess the pitch and then takes it from there. On the long innings, Rohit feels that once you get past the ton, it is about being mentally strong to go on and bat for a longer time and as long as the set batter is out there, he can score as many runs as possible. Ends by saying that having played 200 ODIs, he feels that it is his responsibility to take the team in a commanding position.

India skipper, Virat Kohli, says what has been good is, if you see the last three games, they have done well batting first. Feels that batting second has never been an issue and this is something they needed to be good at. Happily adds that they are happy to be able to get 40-50 runs extra which is exceptional. On batting of Iyer and Pant, Kohli says that they were brilliant. Also mentions the centuries of Rohit and Rahul at the top. The more they get confident in T20 cricket while batting first is much better, they are more focused on expressing themselves in the 50-over format as there is not a big tournament which is around the corner. Tells that no. 4 was not an issue but it was made an issue. Feels that Iyer has done well in the recent past and has grabbed the opportunity which came to him and they are happy a youngster is taking responsibility and doing well. On the lost review, the Indian skipper says that reviews are left upon the bowler and the keeper, they thought the ball did not turn a lot and hence he went for the review. Adds that he was really unhappy the way they ended up taking it. On the dropped chances, Kohli feels that catching has been poor and they should be a lot better on the field and it is very important to live up to the standard they have maintained. Says that they are one of the best fielding sides in the world and probably the wish of wanting the ball to come to them will help them.

West Indies skipper, Kieron Pollard, says that they gave it away in the last 20 overs and they could not execute their plans. They needed to be disciplined but they could not be so. The small areas cost them and they need to execute their plans a lot better, in the batting department, they are confident and back themselves to do well, maybe 30-40 runs less and it would have been different. There are some talented youngsters in the squad and it is just a matter of putting the pieces together and execute well. There is still one game to go and they need to look forward to doing well there. On both the captains scoring ducks, he says they did not last for long out there, Virat hasn't scored a lot in both the games and they're expecting him to come back hard in the next game.

Starts by saying that it has been a perfect day for him. Yadav says that he does not have words to describe the second ODI hat-trick. On his return to the ODIs, Kuldeep says that he has been working really hard. Tells that he has been bowling on proper lines and length and says that it is a very satisfying performance. Reckons that the score was a massive one and mentions that they knew that the Windies batters will come hard at them. On the hat-trick ball, Kuldeep says that he was confused about which ball to bowl. Tells that he eventually ended up bowling the wrong'un with the second slip and luckily got the outside edge. Thanks the crowd for coming in large numbers and says that he will try to perform well again in the final ODI.

The Indian bowling was decent overall! They started off well but had no answers to the carnage by Pooran and Hope in the centre. That partnership did get them worried a little and that showed as there were a few misfields and also a dropped catch which did not help their cause. However, Shami's double-wicket over and Kuldeep's hat-trick killed the game completely. Those two were easily the pick of the bowlers for tonight. Stay with us for the presentation. Before that, Kuldeep Yadav is chatting with Sanjay Manjrekar.

The Windies needed something special to chase this down. Hope and Pooran did exceedingly well to keep them in the game for a while but to keep that going was always going to be difficult. They were the only two who showed some fight. Both scored in the 70s but a mammoth effort was needed from them which they failed to deliver. Nothing else to talk about in this West Indian batting line-up. Except for Lewis amongst the genuine batters, nobody crossed the 20-run mark. Paul though played a handy cameo right at the end but the game till then was dead and burried.

A comfortable win in the end for India and that was pretty obvious after the efforts from their batters. Hundreds from the openers and scintillating knocks from Pant and Iyer set the tone for them early on. Their bowlers then ensured there was no upset on the cards as they restricted the Windies to well below than what they needed.

OUT! Caught at slip and it's second ODI hat-trick for Kuldeep Yadav. First Indian to have two ODI hat-tricks. What an over this is turning out for the Indians. A full ball outside off, Joseph goes for the drive. It catches the outside edge and goes low towards Jadhav at second slip. He gobbles it nicely just above the turf.

Alzarri Joseph is the new man in. Another batsman who comes to face a hat-trick ball.

32.5

Kuldeep Yadav To Jason Holder OUT!

OUT! Two in two for Kuldeep and West Indies are crashing. This was always on the cards though. Brilliant from Kuldeep to beat Holder with this flighted ball outside off. Holder goes for the drive but misses as the ball spins away. Pant, behind the wicket collects the ball and whips the bails off in a jiffy. He along with Kuldeep celebrate as the umpire signals for the third umpire. Holder though is walking off. Here comes the replays, yes, keep walking Holder as the replays confirm that his back leg is in the air.

An appeal for a stumping has been taken upstairs but Holder is already walking.

Keemo Paul is in next.

32.4

Kuldeep Yadav To Shai Hope OUT!

OUT! Caught! What a splendid take from the skipper and no third consecutive ODI ton for Hope. He has gobbled it right at the edge at deep mid-wicket. Full and on middle, Hope goes for the slog sweep and connects. It seems like it will go sailing over but Kohli at the edge of the boundary at deep mid-wicket takes a nicely judged catch and keeps himself inside the ropes. Brilliant work.

32.3

Mohammed Shami To Kieron Pollard OUT!

OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! A first-baller for the Windies captain, just like his opposite number. Is that the end of the run chase? Maybe. They needed something special from Kieron but he fails to last for more than one ball. Shami proves to be the game changer for the hosts. This is full and around off, Pollard looks to drive but gets an outside edge. Pant takes it on the second attempt. The crowd has found its voice back.

Drinks!

29.2

Mohammed Shami To Nicholas Pooran OUT!

OUT! In the air... taken and the Indians breathe a huge sigh of a relief! This stand really started to worry them. Pooran walks back after a top-class innings. Kept the Windies hopes alive of chasing this down but he needed to last longer. The short ball does the trick for the hosts. Shami bangs it short and it is on middle. Pooran looks to pull but the ball gets big on him. He gets a top edge towards fine leg where Kuldeep takes a good catch. 196 more needed in 124 balls.

OUT! TIMBER! That is a gem of a delivery from Jadeja to get the better of Chase! A dream delivery for a left arm spinner against a right-hander. Just unplayable. Also, it is so difficult to adjust to the turn on the pace at which Jadeja is bowling. This is flatter and around leg, Chase goes back and looks to defend but the ball grips and turns away.

Ravindra Jadeja To Shimron Hetmyer OUT!

RUN OUT! Brilliant, brilliant from Iyer! Wow! That is actually majestic to be honest. That stop and then the throw. Outstanding. Take a bow, young man. Did it with the bat early on and now with the ball. Jadeja bowls a short ball outside off, Hetmyer cuts it through point. It seems a certain boundary but Iyer from cover-point hares after it. He does not give up, slides and pushes it back in just before the ball crosses the ropes. The batters take two by then. They go for the third. Iyer gets back to his feet quickly, comes back into the field, picks the ball up and throws it to the bowler. Jadeja collects it and dislodges the bails at his end. Hetmyer is well short. Huge wicket this, we saw in the last game how destructive Hetmyer can be. West Indies in big trouble now. 315 more needed in 221 balls.

FOUR! Excellent piercing of the gap and brilliant timing! This is fuller and around off, Lewis leans into it and creams it through covers. Just put bat to ball there. 50 up for the Windies.

This is angled into the pads, Hope works it through the leg side for one.

8.1

Shardul Thakur To Shai Hope

On the fuller side, Hope closes the face of the bat too early as he tries to play on the leg side. He gets a soft leading edge towards cover.

Fuller in length and on middle, this is pushed back to the bowler. So just the boundary in the over.

Good comeback by Shami! This lands on off and once again moves away late. Lewis hangs his bat out and gets beaten.

7.4

Mohammed Shami To Evin Lewis

Deepak Chahar To Shai Hope

FOUR! Nice and fine! On the pads, it is a slower one. Hope shuffles right across and works it fine on the leg side for a boundary. Back-to-back boundaries. Excellent over for the Windies.

6.2

Deepak Chahar To Shai Hope

Some excitment among the Indian players! No review in the end! A slower short one outside off, Hope looks to pull but misses. Pant takes it low. Pant is not interested but there are a few players appealing. Nothing from the umpire though. Snicko shows nothing.

6.1

Deepak Chahar To Shai Hope

A slower one fuller and outside off, Hope leans into it and strokes it to cover-point. An extra man on the off side now.

A halt in play as Lewis has some issue with his shoe. It seems to have gotten sorted now.

1.4

Shardul Thakur To Evin Lewis

Inside edge saves the batter! This is slightly fuller, it starts on off and then curls back in. Lewis looks to play it with a straight bat but gets an inside edge onto the pads. An appeal but the umpire shakes his head.

1.1

Shardul Thakur To Evin Lewis

Almost! An inswinger to begin with by Thakur. It is slightly shorter. Lewis look to flick but misses to get hit high on the pads. The ball rolls beside the wicket. The batters go for a run. It is a race between Hope and Thakur. The latter gets to the ball and has a shy at the striker's end but misses. Had he hit, it would have been very close.

Shardul Thakur to bowl from the other end with the second new ball. He has been picked in the team for this game. Can he make an impact?

0.4

Deepak Chahar To Shai Hope

Shortish around off, punched towards cover.

0.3

Deepak Chahar To Shai Hope

DROPPED! KL Rahul, the centurion spills it down. A simple regulation chance for Rahul but he cannot hold on. A fuller length ball just outside off, Hope goes for the drive but gets a thick outside edge which goes towards Rahul. He moves towards his right. The ball comes right in and then goes out. He juggles to take in the second attempt but fails to do so. Chance for dismissing Hope for a golden duck goes abegging. How costly will this be?

0.2

Good length and on middle, Lewis looks to pull but gets hit high on the pads. The ball rolls towards short fine leg for a single.

0.1

Deepak Chahar To Evin Lewis

We are back for the run chase! The Indian players are out on the field. The West Indian openers, Shai Hope, the centurion of the last game, and Evin Lewis, the man who missed out the first game due to injury, walk out to the middle. Deepak Chahar to start for the hosts. One slip for the left-handed Lewis. Here we go...
