August 27, 2016  22:42


India 193-3 (16 ovs) vs WI 245-6 | Scorecard


Brathwaite comes back into the attack. Rahul goes after the first delivery of the over as he slashes a short ball over the thirdman region for a six and then picks a single.

Rahul is struck on the toe as he looks to paddle the pacer but misses and seems to be in some pain as the physio is called.

He is back to his best immediately as he plays a cracking drive off the covers for a four off the last delivery of the over.

India are 182 for three in 15 overs, with another 64 needed from five overs for victory.

The experienced Pollard comes back. He starts with a slower ball which Dhoni pulls past short fine leg and Rahul pushes him to come back for the third run despite getting hit on the toe in the last over.

Two singles off the next two balls before Rahul cuts a short ball through thirdman for a four to take his score to 87 from 41 balls.

India are doing well as they reach 193 for three in 16 overs, needing 53 runs from 24 balls for victory.
