After electing to bowl, Ravichandran Ashwin's two wickets and economical figures ensured that West Indies could post only 263/5 in their 50 overs. Kieran Powell, Marlon Samuels and Darren Bravo hit half-centuries for the visitors.
However, India's chase did not get off to the best start after Rohit Sharma (5) edged a Ravi Rampaul delivery to Dwayne Bravo at first slip. Rampaul dismissed Virat Kohli as well when the in-form batsman nicked a delivery to the wicketkeeper Johnson Charles. At that stage, India were in a spot of bother at 61/2.
However Dhawan, along with Yuvraj Singh, have ensured that India, 112 for two in 20 overs, remain on course for victory.
