August 23, 2019 22:16

WI 21-0 (3 ovs) vs India 297 | Scorecard

Ishant Sharma to open the bowling for India, while Kraigg Brathwaite and John Campbell are the two openers for the hosts.

The first ball from Ishant jags in sharply as Brathwaite is hit on the pads and it goes fine on the leg side to get the Windies a leg bye.

The third ball is again down the leg side as Campbell glances it fine for a four to get off the mark in style. The next ball again strays down the pads as Campbell collects another couple of runs.

Ishant then tries to adjust his line as he goes wide but Campbell manages to slash it through the off-side for another boundary as 11 come from the first over.

Jasprit Bumrah from the other end. Brathwaite offers no shot to the first ball before he picks a single off the next ball on the leg side.

Campbell is beaten trying to play it across on the leg side before he defends the rest of the over.

In the next over, Ishant beats Brathwaite outside the off-stump with a beauty, full and moving as the opener tries to drive but misses.

He then clips a full delivery off his pads to fine leg for one before Campbell gets the next ball off the outside half of the bat past gully for a four.

Campbell then takes on Ishant as he lofts a full delivery from the pacer over the covers for another boundary as West Indies race to 21 for no loss in three overs.
