Time for the Presentation.
Earlier in the game, India got to a big total after they displayed their aggressive batting approach yet again quite convincingly. Almost all India batters contributed with Akeal Hosein and Joseph bowling decently for the Windies. However, just like in the batting department, Indian bowers also worked as a team and powered India to series win here at Florida.
India were absolutely clinical with the ball. There were a lot of questions before the game about Avesh Khan's place in the Indian playing XI and the young man has answered all those questions with the ball in this game. He got two early wickets in the Powerplay and then there was a big misunderstanding between Pooran and Mayers that gifted India a big wicket of the West Indies skipper. Indian bowlers then, never let the Windies get back in this game as Arshdeep Singh, Bishnoi and Axar Patel along with the experienced Bhuvneshwar Kumar all did their job perfectly as India completed a convincing performance with the ball.
West Indies had a tough task in front of them at the halfway mark. However, they do have a strong and powerful batting line-up and they would have fancied their chances of chasing down this total. They came out all guns blazing and went onto score 61 runs in the Powerplay. The problem though was they lost three wickets in that phase and continued to lose wickets at regular intervals throughout their innings. Most of the batters got the start but no one really made it count and in the end, they folded out for just 132.
India seal the series with a dominating win! They had a good total on the board but they still needed to bowl well as the pitch was quite flat and with short boundaries on this ground. They did that perfectly as all the bowlers did their job to perfection and in the end West Indies have fallen well short of the target.
