India 74-0 (15 ovs) vs WI | Scorecard

West Indies introduce off-spinner Ashley Nurse into the attack after the end of 10 overs of Powerplay. Dhawan picks a single from the second ball before Rahane guides the next ball past the slip fielder for a four followed by singles off the last three balls to get eight from the over.

Pacer Miguel Cummins comes on as West Indies make a double change.  He starts with three dot balls before he drops short and Rahane pulls it through midwicket for a four.

Nurse looks to keep Dhawan quiet as he bowls full and quick and the left-hander is content to play out a maiden over.

Rahane getting more and more confident. He plays a beautiful straight drive off a full delivery from Cummins for a boundary to take his score to 36. He then bowls a wide before Rahane picks a single off the last ball to keep strike.

After playing out a maiden over from Nurse, Dhawan sweeps him for a four in the next over. The last ball is short and the India openers pulls it for another four to take India to 74 for no loss in 15 overs.
