Shivam Dube says sending him at no. 3 was a plan, he backs himself in that position and he is pleased he played well. Informs he was told before that he will be batting at no. 3. States he likes playing power shots and that is his strength. Ends by saying the pitch was not easy to bat on and he felt he should be concentrating more on timing the ball and it worked well in the end.
The target is a very competitive one and Windies will have to bat really well if they are to chase this down. The wicket is tacky and India will fancy themselves to defend it. Will there be a series decider? Stay tuned to find out for now, Dube is seen giving an interview.
The Windies bowling was very erratic! Too many extras, a lot of bad deliveries which did not help their cause. At one time, India were striking at above 9 per over which is very good on this wicket. Holder and Pollard were very poor with the ball. Walsh had a decent outing. Williams made a good comeback from the last game and Cottrell was decent. Overall though the Windies won't be very pleased with their performance.
The Indian innings once again saw an early wicket, this time it was Rahul. Rohit too did not contribute a lot. The Indian innings however was about a youngster, Shivam Dube. His first real opportunity to make amends with the bat and he grabs it. Promoted at no. 3 and Dube managed to score a blazing half century. The Indians were struggling at once but his knock took them in a commendable position. Pant then took over things once Shivam was dismissed, he kept losing partners at the other end but he continued scoring runs. At one stage 180 or 190 looked likely but the pitch really kept getting worse and India fell well short of the 18-run mark.
Just the 26 runs from the last 4 overs and the Windies have managed to pull things back nicely. However, it is India who will be the happier of the two sides walking back as one feels, the score on the board is more than enough on this surface.
