December 15, 2019 19:35
WI 93-1 (20 ovs) vs India 287-8 | Scorecard
Jadeja doing well to keep things tight as he bowls another tight over, giving away just two singles with Hope again struggling to rotate the strike, with four dot balls in a row.
Interesting change from Kohli as he brings back pacer Chahar, to replace Kuldeep.
Even he does well to keep up the pressure by giving away just three singles as India continue with their tactics of drying up the boundaries and build up some pressure.
Nearly five overs have gone with a boundary being hit as India keep a check on things and force Hetmyer into making a mistake by trying to break the shackles.
Hope clips Jadeja to short fine leg where Chahar misfields to give away two runs before Hetmyer pulls a short ball to long-on for one.
Six runs from the over as West Indies reach 93 for one in 20 overs. They need another 195 runs from 30 overs for victory at an asking rate of 6.5.
Hetmyer has batted fluently to hit 48 from as many balls but Hope has struggled to score 31 from 64 balls at a strike rate of under 50.
