Presentation ceremony...

Earlier in the game, Nicholas Pooran won the toss and opted to bowl first which proved to be a wrong decision as the Indian openers scored 73 runs in the first 10 overs itself. West Indies did pick up a few wickets but with the opposition just three down, the hosts were on the back foot. The top 3 for India all scored runs and put them in a great position to get a big total. The Indian innings crumbled in the final 10 overs and most of it was due to some really good bowling from the Windies pacers but India managed to cross the 300-run mark which is always a positive thing. West Indies fought tooth and nail in the chase and showed that they can bat under pressure but no one from the top order managed to bat through. The Indian bowling attack got the wickets and managed to see off the opposition, winning by a very small margin in the end.

India will be a relieved side as after posting big total on the board, they would have expected to win by a more comfortable margin but they were challenged to dig deep. Mohammed Siraj got the early breakthrough for his side but after that, the Indian bowlers were treated to a bit of hammering. Shardul Thakur who proved to be expensive early on came back in the middle overs and got his side back on top after which India had a strong grip on the game. The Indian bowlers managed to pick up wickets at regular intervals but were never able to shut out the opposition which almost proved too costly in the end.

Heartbreak for West Indies as they managed to get in touching distance of the total but fell agonizingly short. Even though the hosts lost the match, seeing contributions throughout the batting order will be a big positive for them going forward as they even managed to play the complete quota of 50 overs, only for the 7th time in about 40 matches. Kyle Mayers was prolific at the top order and Shamarh Brooks supported him well. King got a half-century but it was the fight put up by Akeal Hosein and especially Romario Shepherd that got the Windies ever so close to chasing down the target. In the end, it proved to be a mountain too steep to climb but they will look to level the series in the next game.
