Holder:

Six matches, 33 wickets at 12.4 this year (v BD, SL and India). Tops the batting averages for WI at 37 (apart from a bowler, Roach). Second most catches (excluding the keeper) too.

Evan Lewis ruled out of ODI'S

India: Rohit Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan, Virat Kohli (capt), Ambati Rayudu, MS Dhoni (wk), Rishabh Pant, Ravindra Jadeja, Umesh Yadav, Mohammed Shami, Khaleel Ahmed, Yuzvendra Chahal


So, no Kuldeep Yadav for India. Three seamers for them. Is there something in this pitch that has prompted this combination?


West Indies: Kieran Powell, Chandrapaul Hemraj, Shai Hope(wk), Shimron Hetmyer, Marlon Samuels, Rovman Powell, Jason Holder(capt), Ashley Nurse, Devendra Bishoo, Kemar Roach, Oshane Thomas

Great 30 over score for WI. But too many wickets.

A good 50 from Kieran Powell, and Hetmyer has done well....

Out for 106 from 78.

In the context of contemporary WI cricket, that's a hell of a knock from Hetmyer. Plus a cameo from the captain.

Struggling to get through the overs though.

Looks like India should have picked Kuldeep.

West Indies 322-8

Kieran Powell 51 from 39
Hetmyer 106 from 78

Chahal 3-41

yes, strange decision to go with 3 seamers. The only thing I can think of is that they were concerned about dew and thought that would be a problem if they had 3 spinners and had to bowl second.

At the half way stage India are 168/1 after Dhawan's early failure - so another 155 needed off 25 overs with 9 wickets in hand - Kohli and Rohit going well at the moment

WI spinners getting a pasting.

yep - Ind batters putting the pitch into perspective i guess

266/2 after 34 - only 57 needed off the last 16 overs

Even when these guys bat well, they still manage to lose convincingly....

India 326-2 off 42

Kohli 140
Rohit 152 not out

Must have been a flat wicket - Ibd just cruised along. If they had had to accelerate it looks like they could have got 450. Even without that they had 8 overs left so were probably looking at 400.

The Ind team are very strong at home so I'm not sure anyone expected much from WI in this series

McCoy in for Thomas. Kuldeep in for Ahmed.

So, King Kohli is fastest to 10000 ODI runs.
