December 08, 2019 19:52

India 91-2 (10 ovs) vs WI | Scorecard

Dube drives Pollard straight down the ground for a couple to long-off followed by a wide before the left-hander clips it past midwicket for two more runs.

Pollard goes for the short ball as Dube pulls it over midwicket for a six before the West Indies captain bowls a couple of wides trying to keep it away from the right-hander.

Dube on fire at the moment. He smashes a full delivery from Pollard over the leg side for another six before making it a hat-trick of sixes as he smashes a full wide delivery over the cover boundary.

A single to Dube off the last ball as Pollard gives away 26 runs in his second over.

Pacer Kesrick Williams is back into the attack. He starts with a wide down the leg side to Dube before the left-hander pulls the next for a single.

Kohli clips the second ball through midwicket for two runs before he pulls the next for one.

The TV umpire swings into action quickly as he rules it a a frontfoot no-ball as Williams overstepped.

Dube can't make most of the free hit delivery as he flicks the full delivery to fine leg for one.

Kohli happy to play second fiddle as he steers Williams to short thirdman for one to bring Dube back on strike, who needs just a single to complete his fifty.

Dube hits the last ball to deep square leg for one to race to his fifty from just 27 balls -- his maiden fifty in international cricket.

Promoted to No 3, the left-handed youngster started off nervously but once he found his range, he entertained the crowd with some huge hits, hitting two fours and four sixes.

India are looking set for a huge score as they reach 93 for two in 10 overs, at the halfway mark.
