Lewis, Simmons gives WI a good start

December 08, 2019 21:36

WI 59-0 (8 ovs) vs India 170-7 | Scorecard

With two catches having gone down already, how costly will that prove for the Indians remains to be seen.

Leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal comes into the attack. He starts with a wide as he bowls one that is pushes across the left-hander followed by singles off the last two balls.

Lewis brings out the sweep shot again as he powerfully sweeps it over the square leg fence for a six and then keeps strike with a single from the last ball as West Indies go past the 50-run mark, in the seventh over.

Sundar continues as Lewis top edges the sweep shot which falls just short of the short fine leg fielder.

Simmons then smashes the off-spinner back over the bowler's head for a straight six and then takes a single to midwicket.

Sundar has a confident shout for leg before wicket as Lewis went for the pull shot but missed and was hit on the pads. The leg before shout was turned down as India went for the review but the impact is way outside the line of off-stump and spinning away from the left-hander as India end up losing their review.

The two West Indies openers have laid a good platform as they reach 59 for no loss in eight overs, with Lewis on 39 from 32 balls and Simmons on 17 from 16 balls.

They need another 112 runs from 12 overs for victory at an asking rate of 9.33.
