We are back for the chase!
... THE RUN CHASE ...
Right then, West Indies have posted a decent total but their bowlers will need to be in point to defend this against a strong batting line-up of the visitors. India will be confident enough of getting to this total as their batters are in good form and will look to take the first game of the series. Join us in a bit to see how the chase unfolds.
India, on the other hand, were hot and cold with their bowling effort, but ultimately will be happy with how things went. They leaked a few too many boundaries at the start but Yuzvendra Chahal turned the game around by getting rid of King and Mayers in the same over which was followed by Kuldeep Yadav as he dismissed Charles soon after. They were taken aback by the clean hitting of Pooran and Powell but still managed to squeeze in some good overs. Hardik Pandya brought himself back in the attack and got the big wicket of Pooran which has made a significant difference in the total. The return of Kul-Cha proved to be the right decision for the visitors while Arshdeep Singh also picked up a couple of wickets in the end and Mukesh Kumar also bowled a brilliant last over. All in all a complete bowling performance from them.
West Indies got off to a brisk start with Brandon King finding the boundaries with ease but Kyle Mayers struggled to even get off the mark. They suffered a setback when both their openers were sent back in the same over while Johnson Charles also couldn't do much. After that, Nicholas Pooran joined his skipper Rovman Powell at the crease and started to counter-attack and took the Indian bowlers to the cleaners. Unfortunately, Pooran holed out at 41 but Powell continued to take on the bowlers along with Shimron Hetmyer but they kept losing wickets which took the momentum away from them as they were restricted under 150 with Powell top scoring with 48 off 32 balls.
A fine bowling effort from India! They have restricted the host to 149 runs and never let them settle in. There were moments of individual brilliance for the Windies but once again they failed to perform collectively. Hardik Pandya managed his bowlers really well and with some excellent death bowling, they will be the happier side going into the break.
19.6 overs (1 Run) Mukesh Kumar has not conceded a boundary in his last two overs which were bowled in the death overs! This is a low full toss as he attacks the stumps. Romario Shepherd knocks this towards long on and takes one. West Indies end their batting effort one run short of 150!
19.5 overs (1 Run) Wide yorker bowled outside the off stump. Jason Holder digs this out towards deep cover and takes one.
19.5 overs (3 Runs) NO BALL! Another yorker-length delivery bowled in line with the stumps. Jason Holder gets an inside edge towards fine leg for a couple of runs. Looks like Mukesh Kumar has overstepped and it will be a no ball. Free-hit coming up...
19.4 overs (1 Run) A yorker this time and at the stumps. Romario Shepherd looks to dig this one out but gets an inside edge onto his pads. The ball rolls into the off side and they steal one.
19.3 overs (1 Run) On a fullish length once again and outside off. Jason Holder knocks this to the left of cover-point and takes a run.

India have gone over time and they have been given a penalty for the slow over-rate. Only four fielders are allowed outside the inner ring. Also, Mukesh Kumar to bowl the last over.
18.6 overs (1 Run) A long over finally comes to an end! This is bowled short and outside off. Jason Holder swats this towards long off to get off the mark with a run.

This is bowled slightly short and outside the off stump. Rovman Powell looks to cross-bat this over long on but does not get a clean connection. The ball goes straight down the throat of Suryakumar Yadav in the deep and West Indies lose their sixth wicket. Will they be able to reach 150?

West Indies have now lost half their side and may be struggling to get to the 150-run mark. India will be happy with their bowling in the death overs.
