Rohit blasts 22-ball fifty to rally India after early wickets
August 27, 2016  22:08


India 116-2 (10 ovs) vs WI 245-6 | Scorecard


A single to Rohit brings up the 50-run stand for the third wicket from just 22 balls. Brathwaite slips the next ball down the leg side as Rahul tickles it fine for a four to bring up India's 100, in the ninth over.

Two balls later, Rahul (36) gets a lifeline as Russell puts down an easy catch running in from long-off and also ends up giving away away two runs.

The experienced Pollard comes into the attack. The first ball is drive to long-on for one but two fielders gives two more runs via overthrows as Rohit benefits by getting three runs from the first ball when he should have only got a single.

Rohit continues his aggressive approach as he chips down the track and lofts a full delivery from Pollard and just about manages to get it over Russell over long-on for a six to bring up his fifty, from just 22 balls.

India have managed to stay in the hunt as they reach 116 for two in 10 overs, needing another 130 runs from the remaining 10 overs for victory.

Rohit has smashed his way to 53 from 23 balls, while Rahul has hit 40 from 21 balls.
