WI 245-6 (20 ovs) vs India | Scorecard

West Indies opener Evin Lewis smashed a quickfire century to power his team to a massive 245 for six against India in the first T20I in Florida.

After being put into bat, West Indies make a fiery start with opener Johnson Charles slamming 79 from 33 balls, putting on a blazing opening partnership of 126 from just 57 balls.

After Charles was bowled by Shami, it was Lewis who took on the mantle of attacking the Indian bowlers.

He smashed Stuart Binny for five consecutive sixes, in the 11th over of the innings, which went for 32 runs.

Jadeja's double strike in the 16th over including the wicket of Lewis helped India pull back things slightly and keep the total under the 250-run mark.

West Indies lost their way at the end, losing five wickets for 46 runs in the final five overs as compared to 199 runs in the first 15 overs.
