As it was expected, this match was very
important from India prospect. As if they would lose the match. They had to
face too much criticism as West Indies are not considered as too tough team to
beat in recent past.
India won the toss and speculation was there
that they will be playing with Ishant (replacement of injured Mohit Sharma). As
we know, Dhoni is unpredictable. He played with Umesh Yadav. This was the only
change for #TeamIndia. The WestIndies team was unchanged.
India didn’t start well as Dhawan departs early
and India’s struggling middle order exposed to West Indian bowlers. This time
Ambati Rayudu came to bat on No 3 rather than usual virat. However Rahane &
Rayudu both departed after start. India was in deep trouble in middle over when
they lost their 3 wickets on 74. Then there was 105 runs partnership between
Raina & Kohli. These two players completed their 50 respectively. Where
Raina continues his current form from champions league T20, same kohli relieved
after a much needed and scratchy half century after an England debacle. India
must thankful to Dhoni who always plays a good knock in these situations. He played
51* knock to make sure that India posts 260+ score.
Westindies started really well and once they
were 170/2 however the over from Shami started their collapse. Later Mishra,
jaddu & umesh knocked them out. Where Shami took 4 wickets, Jaddu, Mishra
& umesh took 3, 2, and 1 respectively. Bhuvi didn’t get any wicket. However
he was very effective.
After this match, both teams are now on 1-1 in 5
matches series.
