October 27, 2018 20:07

India 175-4 (32 ovs) vs WI 283-9 | Scorecard

Three singles off McCoy's first three balls before Pant lots the fourth ball from the pacer over mid-off for a four.

A wide from the pacer before Pant pulls the last ball for another boundary to take India past the 150-run mark as 12 come from the over.

Pant counter-attacking while Kohli holds one end up. The young left-hander comes down the track to left-arm spinner Allen before smashing him back over his head for a six, to race to 20 from 11 balls.

A slight misunderstanding as non-striker Kohli is sent back halfway down after Pant had tapped it on the leg side. The India captain puts in a full length dive to make his crease safely.

Off-spinner Nurse comes back into the attack, replacing McCoy. West Indies miss another good opportunity to run out Kohli. He turns the ball on the leg side and tries to take a quick run but the fielder is quick to pounce and sends a quick throw to the bowler, who fails to collect the ball with Kohli struggling to make his crease.

A huge reprieve for Kohli, on 72, as India reach 166 for three in 30 overs, with Pant on 23.

Left-arm spinner Allen drops short as Kohli punches it through the covers for a four before taking a single off the next ball.

Nurse strikes in the next over with the vital wicket of Pant, who is caught down the leg side. The umpire initially ruled him out before Windies took the review and Ultra Edge shows a slight spike as Pant walks back after a quickfire 24 from 18 balls.

Mahendra Singh Dhoni gets off the mark with a single as India reach 175 for four in 32 overs, needing another 109 runs from 18 overs for victory.
