We are back for the chase!
...THE RUN CHASE…
Right then, India have posted a good score here and a Windies batters need to step up their game to chase this total down. They have failed to cross 200 in this series so far and it would not be an easy task even today. Can they grab 10 important World Cup Super League points? An interesting second-half of this game coming up.
Shreyas Iyer is down for the chat. He says that it wasn't easy to bat early on as the ball was seaming and swinging and him and Shikhar decided just to take it slow. He adds that the bowlers were also not sticking to one line or length and it was a test of patience as batting did get easy later on. He mentions that the wicket was a bit two-paced and the opposition came out with a good bowling plan. He mentions that the score they have is a really good one on this surface but it might get easier for batting later on and they will have to bowl well to get the win. Also says that he is ready to bowl if the captain needs him and is disappointed at himself for getting out the way he did especially with 15 odd overs still left.
West Indies with their fragile batting lineup needed to take early wickets to restrict India to a chaseable score and they did just that, Alzarri Joseph getting rid of Sharma and Kohli in the same over yet again. Odean Smith with all his x-factor managed to get the wicket of struggling Dhawan in his first over. West Indies were denied wickets in the middle overs after that as the partnership build but Walsh provided the important breakthrough just when the game seems to be drifting away and then came back to take the wicket of another set batter Iyer in the 38th over. They would have been hoping to restrict India to a lesser total after that but now have a decent score to chase on this pitch and need to bat better than what they have done so far.
When you talk about India playing an ODI game more often than not you will see top 3 or one of the top 3 playing a major role with the bat. However, it was not the case today as all three of them departed early. It was down to the rising stars of Indian cricket, Iyer and Pant to rebuild the innings. They did their job to perfection and stitched together a partnership of 110 runs. Both of them went on to get to their respective fifties on the way but Pant could not carry on and fell in the 30th over. SKY could not hold on for long and Iyer also departed while trying to up the ante against the spinners. It was Deepak Chahar who seems to be on a mission to prove himself as an all-rounder, provided the impetus at the end of the innings and Sundar also played a handy knock in the end. Overall India will be pleased with their effort with the bat.
India have gone past 260 here and they will be happy with this total after losing three early wickets. West Indies bowled well in the patches but with little more discipline they might have restricted India under 250 here. There is help for the bowlers in this pitch and India will fancy their chances of defending this total.
