India 54-3 (20 ovs) vs WI | Scorecard

Holder continues to keep things tight from his end, as he sends down his third maiden over in succession, all three to Rahane.

Rahul breaks the shackles as he slaps a short wide delivery from Cummins through point for a four.

Two balls later, he drives a full delivery down the ground for another boundary to take his score to 22.

Holder bowling in a good channel as Rahane comes forward to defend but is beaten by the incoming delivery before he watchfully plays out his fourth maiden in a row against the West Indies captain.

Rahane has struggled to get started, scoring just one from 29 balls faced so far.

Rahul has batted fluently as he drives Cummins through the covers for a couple.

In the next over, Rahane finally breaks the shackles against Holder, clipping the second ball for a single -- for his first runs against the West Indies captain after 25 dot balls in a row.

Rahul then clips one off his pads for a couple before taking a single off the last ball to bring up India's 50, in the 19th over.

Cummins overpitches as Rahul drives it straight down the ground for a four as India reach 54 for three in 20 overs.

Rahul has grown in confidence to score 31 from 61 balls, while Rahane has made just two from 31 balls.
