Sharma is skipper; India WIn

India made seven changes to their playing eleven – Virat Kohli, Hardik Pandya, Suresh Raina, Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Deepak Chahar, Yuzvendra Chahal, and Siddarth Kaul made way for Rishabh Pant, Manish Pandey, Dinesh Karthik, a couple of Twenty20 International debutants [Krunal Pandya (Hardik’s older brother) and Khaleel Ahmed], Kuldeep Yadav (the player of the match), and Jasprit Bumrah.

The West Indies made eight changes to the eleven that last played the Indians – Chris Gayle, Evin Lewis, Marlon Samuels, Chadwick Walton, Sunil Narine, Samuel Badree, Jerome Taylor, and Kesrick Williams made way for Shai Hope, Denesh Ramdin, Shimron Hetmyer, Darren Bravo, a couple of Twenty20 International debutants (Fabian Allen and Khary Pierre), Keemo Paul, and Oshane Thomas.

The first Powerplay of the West Indies’ innings – which was the mandatory Powerplay – was between the first and the sixth over. They scored 31, for the loss of three wickets.

Ramdin, who faced five balls, scored just a couple. Thirteen balls into the match, he was caught by Karthik. Umesh Yadav broke the 16-run stand.

The second-wicket pair put on half-a-dozen. Hope, whose 10-ball innings included three boundaries, scored 14. Half-a-dozen balls later, Lokesh Rahul and Pandey ran him out.

Although his innings included a couple of boundaries, Hetmyer had no reason to be in seventh heaven – he scored 10. Nine balls later, he was caught by Karthik. Bumrah broke the six-run stand.
