- India 55-0 (6 ovs) vs WI | SCORECARD


Change of ends for Badree as Rohit takes a single from the first ball. Rahane on the attack as he comes down the track but gets a thick outside edge which flies through the vacant thirdman region for a four. He pulls the next ball, which is short, through midwicket for two runs as the fielder does well to stop that one. Rahane takes a single from the last ball to retain strike.

West Indies keep shuffling their bowlers as Russell comes in for Benn, who bowled just one over. The second ball is a high full toss which Rohit flicks over square leg for a six and India are gifted a no-ball for a high full toss and also the bonus of a free hit. Rohit makes most of the free hit delivery, slamming it straight down the ground for another another maximum to make it back to back sixes.

A single each to the two batsmen takes India past the 50-run mark in the sixth over (5.4 overs).

Russell drops short as Rohit rocks back and pulls him through midwicket for a four followed by a single to take strike.

Russell has been hit for 20 runs in his second over as India race to 55 for no loss in six overs with Rohit slamming 41 from 26 balls and Rahane scoring 12 from 11 balls.
