India 195-2 (20 ovs) vs WI | Scorecard

Pacer Paul comes back into the attack. Rohit takes a single off the first ball on the leg side before Rahul drives the next ball through the coves for two runs.

Rahul tries to reverse the next but fails to make connection. He lofts the fourth ball back over the bowler's head but fails to get hold of it as Pollard running in from long-on puts down a tough chance diving forward.

Good bowling from Paul as he bowls another dot ball to Rahul, who manages just a single off the last ball as the pacer gives away just six runs in the 19th over.

Brathwaite to bowl the final over. Rahul takes a single off the first ball to bring Rohit back on strike, who is batting on 92.

The bowler delivers a full toss as Rohit throws his bat but gets a thick outside edge past short thirdman for a four.

Rohit then walks across and paddles a full toss the fast bowler over short fine leg for a boundary to complete his century in grand style from 58 balls.

And it goes from bad to worse for the Windies. Rohit defends the third ball on the off-side and looks for a quick single as Brathwaite tries to hit the stumps at the batting end but misses and gives away four over throws.

Rohit then lofts a full delivery over long-off for a six and picks a single off the last ball.

He finishes on a quickfire 111 not out from 61 balls, including eight fours and seven sixes, to power India to a huge 195 for two in their 20 overs.

Rahul finished on 26 from 14 balls as India dominated with the bat after they were put into bat.
