WI 25-1 (6 ovs) vs India | Scorecard
A full delivery from Bumrah which hits Powell on the pads but the impact is way outside the leg stump and it is surprising that the pacer goes on up in appeal.
The next ball slants across the left-hander, who has a poke and is beaten, before he taps the third ball to mid-off and steals a quick run.
Hemraj taps the fifth ball into the covers and attempts a quick single but is sent back.
He tries to clip the last ball through the leg side but is beaten and is hit on the pads. The umpire turns down the confident appeal for leg before India decide to take the review.
But it turns out to be a waste as the ball pitched way outside the leg stump.
In the next over, Powell tries the inside out lofted shot but fails to make proper connection as it goes over short cover and gets him a single.
The next ball is a slower bouncer as Hemraj pulls it to fine leg for one before Powell picks two runs off the next ball to midwicket.
Bumrah comes under some rough treatment at the hands of Hemraj, who lofts the third ball over the covers for a four. The next ball is clubbed for a six over the long-on fence before the pacer gets revenge.
Hemraj top edges the pull shot as Dhoni runs all the way to the fine leg region before diving full length to take the catch inside off the ground with his outstretched gloves.
Hemraj walks back for 15 as West Indies are reduced to 25 for one in six overs.
