WI 132-1 (10 ovs) vs India | Scorecard


Charles on fire, proving to be unstoppable at the moment. He again slogs a length ball from Jadeja over midwicket for a four and picks the next one off his pads and this time it carries over the fence for a six.

India's bowlers are running for cover at the moment as it rains sixes and fours in Florida.

Charles cuts a short ball from Jadeja but it falls short of Bhuvneshwar at point who sends in a wild throw to concede another extra run.

Charles ends the over in style as he lofts another one down the ground for a six with Jadeja going for 33 runs in his two overs, while Ashwin has given 24 in his two overs.

Shami is called back into the attack. Lewis throws his bat at a wide delivery but gets a thick edge past Dhoni for a four before he takes one.

Shami brings India relief with the wicket of Charles, who is bowled after a cracking innings of 79 from 33 balls.

Charles, who hit six fours and seven sixes, looked to paddle Shami but missed a yorker and was bowled.

But he has given West Indies a solid foundation, putting on 126 runs for the opening wicket from just 57 balls.

West Indies are keen to continue the onslaught as the dangerous Andre Russell is promoted to No. 3 and he gets off the mark with a single.

Lewis steers the fifth ball past point for a four to race to his fifty, from just 25 balls. A single from the last ball as Shami concedes 11 runs despite picking up the wicket.

West Indies are comfortably placed on 132 for one in 10 overs, and will be looking to continue their momentum for the second half of their innings and end up somewhere close to the 250-run mark, or maybe even more!
