We are back for the chase!
...THE RUN CHASE…
Right then, the target is quite a big one in front of the Windies but the pitch is quite good and they have the power-hitters to chase this down. However, India have a strong bowling attack and it will not be an easy task for the West Indies batters. It will be a fascinating chase! Stay tuned…
Dominic Drakes come in for a chat and he says that it is a very good wicket and they did good to restrict India to that total. Mentions that Obed McCoy is a leader of the bowling attack and he tries to learn from him. Tells that it feels good to bowl the last over and to take the responsibility. Goes on to say that he is confident of chasing down this total as he thinks it is a good batting track.
West Indies never really had any control in this game. Even with wickets falling a boundary was always around the corner. At one point it looked like India would get well beyond 200. Alzarri and Akeal Hossein did well to pull things back. Obey Mckoy had an off day and was taken to the cleaners.
India started with a bang, especially Rohit Sharma who was looking to attack almost every delivery. They had a 53-run opening partnership in just 28 deliveries but both departed in consecutive overs. Rishabh Pant and Deepak Hooda steadied the innings with the former top-scoring with 44. Axar Patel played a good cameo to take India beyond 190.
This has been a very professional batting performance from the Indian team. With the start they had, they may feel like they should have crossed the 200-run mark. However, the pitch is not as easy as it seems and the total of 191 may well prove to be enough. West Indies will know they have their task cut out but will also know they have enough power to be able to get over the line.
