- WI 151-3 (16 ovs) vs India 192-2 | SCORECARD

Andre Russell looks keen to get into the attack mode right from the start. He makes room and smashes Pandya past mid-off for a four and two balls later launches him high over midwicket for a huge six, which goes in the second tier of the Sachin Tendulkar stand.

Pandya ends the over on a high with the wicket of Simmons, who hits it straight into the hands of the fielder in the covers.

And it is the no-ball horror revisited for the Indians as Pandya has overstepped and Simmons, who was making his way back after scoring 50 from 36 balls is called back. He makes most of the free hit, carting it over midwicket for a six.

Pandya has been smashed for 18 runs in that over as West Indies reach 138 for three in 15 overs, needing 55 from five overs for victory.

Dhoni brings back his death overs specialist Bumrah, who still has two overs in hand. Russell smashes the first ball straight back but gets just a single before Simmons gets a thick outside edge for a four over the thirdman region.

Simmons smashes the last ball straight down the ground and it carries all the way for a six as West Indies reach 151 for three in 16 overs, needing 42 from four overs for victory.
