Ashwin strikes, WI lose first wicket

October 12, 2018 10:52

WI 45-1 (20 ovs) vs India | Scorecard

The spinners are rushing through the overs while also putting a lid on the scoring rate.

Ashwin breezes through his sixth over, conceding just two leg byes to Hope as he drifts it down the leg side.

Ashwin has bowled six overs so far, out of which five are maidens, while picking up a wicket.

A single each for Brathwaite and Hope in the next over bowled by Kuldeep, something which West Indies will want their batsmen to do more often against the spinners instead of taking unnecesary risks.

Hope plays a nice straight drive off Ashwin as Rahul cuts it off with a diving stop at mid-on to keep it down to one.

Kuldeep has also settled into a good rhythm as compared to the Rajkot Test when he went for plenty of runs in his first spell in the first innings. His length has been particularly impressive and much better so far in this game.

Ashwin continues to bowl with control as he sends down another maiden as West Indies reach 45 for one in 20 overs.
