A no contest, don't let the fact that India won by 5 wickets fool you. Bowling first, Pandya, Shardul and debutant Mukesh Kumar claimed a wicket apiece in the powerplay as the ball was seaming around a bit. Then began the carnage through spin. The wicket was really supporting turn, and Jadeja claimed three quick wickets. Then Kuldeep was introduced and he needed just three overs to skittle out the Windies innings, ending with figures of 4/6. Shai Hope was the only batter who showed some resistance, top scoring with 43. In reply, India played a bit of Uno reverse with their batting order, as skipper Rohit Sharma came out to bat at number 7, allowing a promotion for Kishan, SKY, Hardik, Jadeja and even Shardul Thakur. Chasing a meager score,the Indian batters had full license and only Ishan Kishan made the most of that, scoring a fiery 50 as he took on the bowlers. Gill edged one to the slips, and so did Surya. Hardik was unfortunate to be run out and then Shardul was caught out rather comically, but India were in control of the chase all along. Job done within 23 overs, hang around for the presentations now...
