Navdeep Saini starred on his senior international debut with three important wickets as India limited the West Indies to 95 for nine batting first in the opening fixture of a three-match T20 international series at the Central Broward Stadium in Florida on Saturday. Having already enjoyed success with the Indian "A" team currently on tour of the Caribbean, Saini made an immediate impact wearing his country's colours at the highest level in claiming three for 17 off his four overs, including top-scorer Kieron Pollard who fell in the final over of the innings for 49. He achieved the rarity of a maiden in the final over but it was his earlier double-strike which gave the 26-year-old fast bowler the sort of dream start he would have wished for after captain Virat Kohli chose to bowl first after winning the toss. (Scorecard)

That's it from us!
Thank you for joining us for the live coverage of the first T20I between the West Indies and India. Do join us back tomorrow for the second match between the two sides.
Keemo Paul cleans up Krunal Pandya with a ripper. It was fast and straight and Pandya had no clue about it. India lose their sixth. They need just eight more runs for the win.
Virat Kohli goes. Big wicket for the West Indies. A slower short ball from Sheldon Cottrell and Kohli was deceived by the pace completely. Kieron Pollard completes a simple catch to send back the Indian skipper.
Good call to go for the review from Rishabh Pant from behind the stumps. It was a full toss that Kieron Pollard missed completely and the replay confirms that the ball would've hit the stumps.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar strikes as West Indies lose their eighth wicket. Keemo Paul was looking for the big shot but he could only manage to find Virat Kohli at mid-off.
