- India 109-1 (13 ovs) vs WI | SCORECARD


Brathwaite comes back into the attack. Rahane gets a single from the first ball before Kohli places in the second ball gently on the leg side which gives him enough time to come back for two runs followed by one. Two more singles from the last two balls as six runs come from that over.

Rahane and Kohli have been brilliant in their running between the wickets. Benn takes over from Badree, who bowled a good spell of one for 26 in four overs. Another tidy over from Benn, conceding just seven runs as India reach 98 for one in 12 overs.

Rahane, who is batting on 35 from 29 balls, will need to take a few risks and try to hit a few boundaries to take the pressure of Kohli at the other end, who is starting to get his eye in, batting on 16 from 14 balls.

Bravo comes back for his second spell. Two singles from the first two balls brings up India's 100 in 12.2 overs, laying a solid foundation for a huge total.

India have ensured that the momentum does not drop as they keep the scoreboard moving at a good rate with ones and twos, with superb running between the wickets.

A full toss on the pads is flicked square by Kohli, who gets a boundary despite Russell making a good effort on the ropes. He comes down the track to the next ball and slaps Bravo through the covers for two more runs before keeping strike with a single from the last ball.

India looking comfortable on 109 for one in 13 overs, scoring at over eight runs per over. They will need to lift their scoring rate in the next few overs to put themselves on course for a total around the 200-run mark.

Rahane is batting well on 36 from 30 balls, but he needs to go for his shots with a lot of wickets in hand, while Kohli is batting well on 26 from 19 balls.
