Rohit, Dhawan give India a good start

October 29, 2018 14:16

India 56-0 (10 ovs) vs WI | Scorecard

Roach also guilty of overpitching on the stumps as Dhawan picks it up off his pads and carts it over the midwicket fence for a six.

This looks like a good batting wicket and India will aim for a total in excess of the 300-run mark.

Dhawan steers the fourth ball wide of the mid-off fielder for a single.

Roach tries a short ball but Rohit manages to pull it comfortably to deep midwicket for another run.

Spin introduced early as off-spinner Ashley Nurse comes into the attack, to bowl the eighth over, replacing Holder.

Rohit picks a single to long-on before Dhawan hits the last two balls for boundaries. He cuts the fifth ball past point and hits the last ball uppishly through the covers for back to back fours.

India on the charge as they race past the 50-run mark, in the eighth over.

Change of ends for Holder as he takes over from Roach. He sticks to a line outside the off-stump as Rohit offers no shot to the first two balls before the pacer bowls a wide. He drives the fifth ball to the man in the deep on the off-side for a single as just two runs come from the over.

Rohit gives Nurse the charge who adjusts well and forces the batsman to defend.

Nurse slips one down the leg side as Dhawan tries to sweep it fine but gets a thin edge but wicketkeeper Hope is unable to hold on to a tough chance as he gives away one followed by another single.

India are off to a good start as they reach 56 for no loss in 10 overs, with Dhawan on 33 and Rohit on 21.
