WI 26-0 (5 ovs) vs India | Scorecard


Mohammed Shami to open the bowling for India. Left-hander Evin Lewis looks to flick the first ball which comes in as he gets hit on the pads and picks up a leg bye.

Two balls later Kyle Hope turns Shami on the leg side for a single to get off the mark before Lewis takes a run off the last ball.

Umesh Yadav from the other end. Lewis takes a single off the first ball before Kyle glances the next ball on the leg side for the first boundary of the West Indies innings.

Kyle steers the next ball past point for a couple before Umesh bowls a wide to conceded eight runs from his first over.

Just a single over for Shami with the new ball as Hardik Pandya comes into the attack to bowl the third over. Lewis drives the third ball through the gap in the covers for three runs before Kyle plays out the remaining three deliveries.

Change of ends for Shami, who comes on from the other end. Lewis takes a single on the leg side before Kyle is beaten by the incoming delivery as he plays a loose shot without moving his feet.

Umesh also swaps ends as Hardik is used for just one over to facilitate the change of ends for both seamers.

Umesh starts his new spell with a loose delivery, short and wide, which Kyle despatches through the point region for a four. Two balls later he punches a short ball from Umesh through the covers for another boundary to race to 16 from 15 balls.

Umesh looks to compensate as he bowls a full delivery on the stumps which Kyle flicks square on the leg side for two runs before he attempts a similar shot but fails to beat the fielder at square leg.

West Indies off to a good start as they reach 26 for no loss in five overs.
