WI 205-9 (50 ovs) vs India | Scorecard


West Indies struggling to get the boundaries as Umesh bowls a good over, giving away just seven runs in the 48th over.

Even Powell, who is a proper batsman and has a reputation of being a big hitter in West Indies domestic cricket, is finding it hard to get some quick runs.

After a few hits and misses, Powell finally gets one off the middle as he clubs a slower ball from Shami over long-on for a six.

Shami follows it up with a slower ball as Powell is beaten before he pulls the last ball to deep midwicket for a single which helps him keep strike for the final over.

Powell smashes the first ball of the final over, bowled by Umesh, over long-on for a six to take West Indies past the 200-run mark.

The next ball is a wide yorker as Powell strangely offers no shot believing it to be a wide before he hits the next ball to deep midwicket for a couple courtesy of misfielding from Rahane at deep midwicket.

Umesh bowls a quick bouncer as Powell goes for the pull but gets a glove and is caught down the leg side by Dhoni as he walks back after a timely innings of 31 from 32 balls.

No. 11 Kesrick Williams plays an awkward shot off the fifth ball but fails to get a run and he offers no shot to the last ball, thinking it to be a wide as Umesh finishes off well.

West Indies finish on a below-par 205 for nine in their 50 overs, scoring just 41 runs from the last 10 overs for the loss of four wickets.

Shami topped the bowling figures with superb figures of four for 48, while Umesh picked up three for 53 to leave the West Indies struggling.
