WI 46-0 (4 ovs) vs India | Scorecard


Shami is taken off after being hit for 17 runs in his first over as he makes way for Jasprit Bumrah.

Lewis defends the first ball as Bumrah starts with a short one before he pulls the next, but mishits it over the mid-on for two runs. He gets the next ball off the middle, pulling it square through the leg side for a four and then steers it past point for another couple.

Bumrah tries a full delivery which Lewis smashes powerfully but Rahul at mid-off makes a good stop, to concede just one despite not stopping it cleanly.

Charles has a big swing off the last ball, trying to despatch it over midwicket but fails to make connection.

Bhuvneshwar beats Lewis for pace as the left-hander looks to pull but is too late into the shot before he attempts the same shot off the next and again mishits but manages to clear short fine leg for two runs followed by a single.

Charles continues his attacking approach, as he sweeps it past short fine leg for a four. The fielder is moved back as Charles swats it ugly fashion but manages to get it fine enough for another boundary. He pulls the last ball which falls safely in the vacant space in the fine leg region for two runs.

Charles has smashed his way to 31 from 13 balls with West Indies racing to 46 for no loss in four overs.
