India v West Indies
Scorecard
India captain Suryakumar Yadav won the toss and elected to field first.
West Indies started with a newly-minted opening partnership of Shai Hope and Roston Chase. It was Chase’s first T20I as an opener and after a watchful start, he got going with two sweetly-timed boundaries against Arshdeep Singh and then scooped Jasprit Bumrah for a four.
The pressure of the occasion seemed to get to Abhishek Sharma, who dropped a simple catch at cover with Chase on 15.
It wasn’t the briskest of starts for West Indies, who finished powerplay at 45/0.
Varun Chakaravarthy gave India the breakthrough as he knocked back Shai Hope’s (32) stumps in the ninth over. But it was Jasprit Bumrah’s double strike, to dismiss set batters Shimron Hetmyer (27) and Roston Chase (40) that swung the momentum India’s way.
Hetmyer was starting to flex his muscle, and had hit two sixes and a four, but ended up nicking a ball angling away from him to the wicketkeeper. Two balls later, Bumrah had Chase lob the ball to cover.
