After clinching the 3-match ODI series, a confident Indian side started their five-match T20I series with a comprehensive 68-run win against West Indies at the Brian Lara Stadium in Tarouba, Trinidad on Friday.
Coming back after being rested for the ODI series, Rohit Sharma and Dinesh Karthik starred with the bat as India amassed 190 for 6 after Nicholas Pooran won the toss and elected to bowl first. Rohit found form up front and struck a 44-ball 64. It set the perfect base and after India’s stutter in the middle phase, Dinesh Karthik provided the final flourish to remain unbeaten on 41 of 19. His innings included 4 fours and two sixes.
On a two-paced track, the Indian spinners stepped up as Ravi Bishnoi, R Ashwin, and Ravindra Jadeja picked up five wickets between them. Arshdeep Singh too picked up a couple of wickets to restrict West Indies to 122 for 8.
West Indies need to be far better in the second match and they need more variety in their bowling attack. Akeal Hosien was the star with the ball, and this could prompt them to try out Hayden Walsh Jr. in the next match.
