1st innings:

West Indies won the toss and asked India to bat first. India lost their captain on the first ball of the match and within 7 overs, India lost 4 wickets. Hardik Pandya was the top scorer from the side with 31 runs in same number off deliveries. India did not play 20 overs and because of the small knocks of Pandya, Pant and Jadeja, they set the target of 139 in front of West Indies. Obed McCoy performed stunningly and destroyed Indian batting with his carrer best 6 wickets at the expense of only 17 runs in his 4 overs. Other bowlers were also impressive however, Odean Smith was too expensive.

2nd innings:

Target was small but Indian bowling made it really tough for West Indies to chase. West Indies started well and did not lose any wicket in powerplay but just after that, Hardik Pandya gave breakthrough. Brandon King played an impressive and crucial knock of 68 runs before getting out by Avesh Khan. The game went to last over and West Indies needed 10 runs in that over and Rohit Sharma gave ball to Avesh Khan instead of Bhuvneshvar Kumar, which was really surprising. Devon Thomas took only 2 balls to win the game for West Indies. Obed McCoy became man of the match for his outstanding performance with the ball.
