IND vs WI Live: Rare Rohit trivia!

Only the second time in ODIs since the start of January 2013 that Rohit Sharma has batted outside of the top six

IND vs WI Live: Another wicket!

India lose their fifth wicket and Shardul Thakur is not happy! He ended up edging the ball to the slip fielder but he spoke to the umpires about some possible distraction while he was batting. Slight delay but he did not make anything out of it. Out comes Rohit Sharma!

IND 100/5 after 18.3 overs.

IND vs WI Live: Kishan departs!

Ishan Kishan departs right after scoring his half-century and he is caught in the deep off the bowling of Gudakesh Motie. However, victory is just around the corner for India.

IND 97/4 after 17.1 overs.

IND vs WI Live: Fifty for Ishan Kishan!

Half-century for Ishan Kishan and this has been a great innings. 7 boundaries and one six in the knock and India is really close to victory!

IND 93/3 after 16 overs.

IND vs WI Live: Freak dismissal!

Ishan Kishan slammed the ball straight back towards Yannic Cariah but the bowler was not able to complete the catch. However, the ball bounced out and crashed into the stumps with Hardik Pandya still outside the crease. A freak dismissal but it should not bother India much.

IND 80/3 after 14 overs.

IND vs WI Live: Kishan on the move!

Yannic Cariah is the second spinner introduced into the attack and once again, Ishan Kishan has greeted him with massive hits. Two boundaries and 12 overs off his first over!

IND 70/2 after 13 overs.

IND vs WI Live: Spin does the trick!

Suryakumar Yadav seemed hell bent on playing the sweep shot and it proved to be his downfall. A turning delivery from Gudakesh Motie and it trapped Suryakumar LBW for 19. Big wicket for the hosts!

IND 58/2 after 11.2 overs.

IND vs WI Live: Spin time!

Gudakesh Motie into the attack and immediately, the movement off the pitch is clear! However, the Indian batters seem ready for it and Suryakumar Yadav welcomed him with a boundary through mid-wicket.

IND 54/1 after 10.3 overs.

IND vs WI Live: No threats!

With West Indies sticking to medium pacers, the threat level is quite low at this moment. Romario Shepherd and Kyle Mayers are bowling at a good pace but it is not bothering any of the Indian batters.

IND 49/1 after 9.2 overs.

IND vs WI Live: No spin for WI

Kyle Mayers is the first change in bowling for West Indies and it is a bit surprising that the hosts have not gone for a spinner. For India, Ravindra Jadeja and Kuldeep Yadav did very well and a spinner would have provided a different edge to the WI attack.

IND 47/1 after 8.1 overs.

IND vs WI Live: No stopping Indian batters!

Two explosive boundaries for Ishan Kishan followed by a trademark scoop from Suryakumar Yadav – This is absolutely perfect for India. The visitors are making short work of this small total.

IND 42/1 after 7.2 overs.

IND vs WI Live: New role for Surya!

Suryakumar Yadav is looking a bit tentative at No 3 but a boundary will help his nerves. This is a different batting order for India and it will be interesting to see how the cricketers adapt.

IND 28/1 after 6.2 overs.

IND vs WI Live: Gill departs!

A thick inside edge from Shubman Gill and Brandon King completed a good catch at slips. First wicket for West Indies and Jayden Seales has struck for the hosts. Disappointing end to the innings!

IND vs WI Live: Good start!

Two boundaries off the Jayden Seales over and Shubman Gill has started the run chase well. The first boundary was more accidental but the second one came from a trademark cover drive.

IND 13/0 after 2 overs.

IND vs WI Live: Surprise surprise!

No Rohit Sharma as Ishan Kishan opens the batting for India with Shubman Gill. Positive start for the left-hander as he slams a boundary through fine-leg.

IND 6/0 after 0.4 overs.

IND vs WI Live: Stat Attack

Kuldeep (4/6) & Jadeja (3/37) – the first instance of left-arm spinners picking seven (or more) wickets in an ODI for India.

IND vs WI Live: Kuldeep’s four-wicket haul!

“The way the pacers bowled was really good, Mukesh and Shardul in particular. And then Jadeja and I could handle things, the ball was spinning a bit. We had to control our lengths and the wickets were easy to get. I have been working on my rhythm and it has been amazing. The ball is coming out nicely and I’m very pleased with it. I have also been varying the pace and in the white-ball format, my focus is on hitting the right lengths. (On bowling googlies) Depends on the condition and situation, when they were 5 down I could bowl my variations. When the left-hander came in, I was trying to bowl away from him. To be very honest, I felt this wicket was really good for spin.” – Kuldeep at the innings break.

IND vs WI Live: 114 all out!

Four wickets for Kuldeep Yadav and West Indies are all out for 114! The spin attack proved to be too much for the hosts as Shai Hope’s resistance ended on 43 and Jayden Seales became the last wicket to fall. This seems like an easy run chase for Rohit Sharma and Co.

IND vs WI Live: No stopping Kuldeep!

Second wicket for Kuldeep Yadav and this time, his victim is Yannic Cariah. The batter had no idea about the spin on the delivery and once again, he ended up playing across and the ball crashed into his pads. The on-field umpire was no convinced but replays show that the ball was hitting middle and leg stumps.

WI 113/8 after 21.3 overs.

IND vs WI Live: 20 overs done!

West Indies lost 3 wickets in the first 10 overs but the next 10 have been worse. Ravindra Jadeja took three in quick succession and with Kuldeep Yadav also finding a lot of help from the pitch, this can get way worse for the hosts.

WI 107/7 after 20.1 overs.

IND vs WI Live: Kuldeep joins the party!

Kuldeep Yadav is introduced into the attack and almost instantly he has succeeded! Late movement and Dominic Drakes was plumb LBW. West Indies lose their seventh wicket!

WI 103/7 after 19 overs.

IND vs WI Live: Record in sight!

At the start of the game, Ravindra Jadeja was four wickets away from becoming the leading wicket-taker in India vs West Indies ODIs. Three wickets down and the record is well within his reach!

WI 99/6 after 18.2 overs.

IND vs WI Live: Magical Jadeja!

Two sharp slip catches and two quick wickets for Ravindra Jadeja. The all-rounder foxed both Rovman Powell and Romario Shepherd with his bowling and it took good efforts from Shubman Gill and Virat Kohli respectively to hand India a massive advantage in this game!

WI 97/6 after 18 overs.

IND vs WI Live: Jadeja wins the fight!

Shimron Hetmyer went for a cheeky paddle sweep but missed it completely. It was a straight delivery from Jadeja and as expected, the stumps were rattled. Big wicket for India as the partnership with Shai Hope was getting dangerous.

WI 92/4 after 16 overs.

IND vs WI: Express pace!

Umran Malik is an interesting asset for India. While the economy rate can be quite high sometimes, there is no denying that the raw pace bothers batters on most occasions. In Barbados, he has gone for some boundaries once again but it will be foolish to count him out of the game.

WI 87/3 after 15 overs.

IND vs WI Live: Slow but steady!

Slow but steady – That seems to be the best way to describe how West Indies have played in the last 4 overs. Not much risk but boundaries have come their way. 

WI 84/3 after 14 overs.

IND vs WI Live: Mixed bag for Umran!

First over for Umran Malik and it was a mixed bag. The express pace from the youngster bothered the batters but they were also able to get two boundaries in the process. A confident shot through fine-leg followed by a miscue through the similar region.

WI 73/3 after 12.5 overs.

IND vs WI Live: Spin time!

Ravindra Jadeja is introduced into the attack and already a bit of turn. The India pacers reaped rewards of their consistency and it will be interesting to see how the WI batters negotiate this kind of spin.

WI 60/3 after 11.4 overs.

IND vs WI Live: 10 overs done!

West Indies are 52 for the loss of three wickets after 10 overs. India are completely in the driver’s seat with the crucial wickets and a lot will depend on how Shia Hope and Shimron Hetmyer plays in this game. The Indian spinners have still not bowled a single delivery till now.

IND vs WI Live: Shardul joins the party!

Shardul Thakur has done it! The fast bowler has castled Brandon King and West Indies are in deep trouble! Indian pacers seemed to have found their groove once again.

WI 45/3 after 8.5 overs.

IND vs WI Live: Wicket on debut!

Mukesh Kumar has struck on debut and it is an important wicket! Alick Athanaze was looking dangerous but he did not connect with the shot well and it took an athletic effort from Ravindra Jadeja to end his innings. 

West Indies 45/2 after 8 overs.

IND vs WI Live: Expensive Shardul!

West Indies batters are not waiting anymore and Shardul Thakur ended up conceding two boundaries in his very first over. This is smart batting from them.

India 39/1 after 7 overs.

IND vs WI Live: West Indies looking good!

Alick Athanaze and Brandon King have finally opened up and with more boundaries, West Indies is looking quite confident. A good approach after losing the early wicket.

WI 27/1 after 6 overs.

IND vs WI Live: WI on the offensive!

One four and one six – Alick Athanaze took the attack to Hardik Pandya and finally, West Indies have shown some sign of a fight. Good over for the hosts.

WI 20 /1 after 5 overs.

IND vs WI Live: Discipline!

Extremely disciplined show from India as Mukesh Kumar was been quite impressive with his consistency. The line and length is bothering the batters with the extra bounce proving to be a X-factor.

WI 9/1 after 4 overs.

IND vs WI Live: Hardik strikes!

First wicket for India and it is Hardik Pandya! Kyle Mayers did not look in good touch and he completely mistimed his shot. The ball travelled to mid-on and Rohit Sharma made no mistake!

WI 7/1 after 3 overs.

IND vs WI Live: Debut over for Mukesh!

Mukesh Kumar received his ODI cap from Ravindra Jadeja and it was a good first over for the Bengal pacer. Extra bounce on offer for him and he kept Mayers guessing for most part of the over. A maiden for him!

WI 4/0 after 2 overs.

IND vs WI Live: Hardik starts proceedings!

Hardik Pandya bowling the first over for India and a lot of support from the pitch. The ball was doing a bit and on two occasions, he was able to bring the new ball back into the batter. This will be interesting.

WI 4/0 after 1 over.
