^Yeah, India is short atleast 20-30 runs when dew comes in play.

But its tricky target for Windies, couple of quick wickets of top order especially Shai hope wicket can do the tricks for India but widies middle order is good and got some resistance so we have to wait how this pan out.

They lost an opener too early and most of the names on WI squad is new so they lack experience in huge when we compare with team India so I guess it will be an easy match for India if they can take one more wicket in the next few overs.

Captain Pollard's wicket will be the key of this match.

West Indies lost an opener earlier but now they are playing carefully and if they are able to build a good partnership without loosing much wickets and since this is the T20 era you cannot trust any total below 300 as the players will score slowly and when the target is below 100 then they will view the match as a T20 and you will cover the run rate required and it all depends upon how India bowls.

Good start by WI they are spot on to the target, from now on they need to patience and keep wickets in hand till the 40th over. They can win this match if they perform consistently like this.

When did I said dirty pitch?
I said the pitch is dry and is good for batting. Do you have an understanding issue?

My bad it is weekend and you know what happens when you are partying late  .

West Indies is in a really strong position and there is no way that India can win the match from this stage as India was able to pick only one wicket till now and West Indies is cruising as they just need 139 more runs with 9 wickets in hand and the run rate is not that huge and they have the power hitter to win the match as they are scoring at a good run rate in the past 5 overs.

Unless and until India can pick up wickets and put pressure back to West Indies there is no way they are going to win the match, winning the toss was a crucial part i think because the West Indies were able to control the run rate and restrict India and now West Indies are chasing really well and dominating the Indian bowlers as they are taking apart and clearing the boundary with ease.

Both the batsmen are now set on the wicket. It will be hard for Indian bowlers to take them down. Run rate already above 5, which is a clear indicator that if they only take 4 runs an over they will win this match.

Brilliant knock by Shimron Hetmyer.

[ene1980]

I did not expect West Indies to dominate the match as India was not able to pick wickets and Hetmyer played an incredible innings and he just lost his wicket looking to increase the run rate and he was striking at a good rate and Hope is still in the crease but he is playing like a Test match innings as his strike rate is just 57 and is it possible for India to win from this stage as they need 6 runs per over.

[Clement Kaliyar]

is it possible for India to win from this stage as they need 6 runs per over.

If India needs to win from this situation, they needs to start picking up wickets and put the pressure back to the West Indies batsman but they are playing really well and they have 8 wickets in hand and they just need 50 more runs to win and they can easily win the match as they have plenty of batsman to come and the pitch is not assisting the bowlers and they are facing them with ease.

West Indies has played really well and truly deserve a win today. SD Hope is the main set batsmen at 78 and he needs to stay till the end. Around 50 runs required now with 50 balls in hand. Although in other days i would like India to win but today i really really wish West Indies get the reward for the hard work they did today and their batting should not collapse from here.

It is a straight win from here onwards. Nobody can stop WI from winning this match. A completely one-sided match. From the beginning, they have dominated and have been crushing India to a defeat.

[7788bitcoin]

Shimron Hetmyer scored a century with a good strike rate while Shai Hope scored a century with patience and both these players destroyed India with ease and now they are leading the series with an unexpected victory as i did not expect West Indies to defeat India but anything can happen as rarely do we see a white wash from India in any tournament and glad i did not place a bet.

[Clement Kaliyar]

SD Hope is the main set batsmen at 78 and he needs to stay till the end.

Hope played a really slow innings according to the current ODI standards and he was unbeaten till the end and his over strike rate is around 72 which is low and yet he is performing when it matters.

West Indies dominated the first match and it was a one sided match and the bowlers were disappointing as they were not able to put pressure on the West Indies batsman nor able to pick wickets, what changes do they make in the second match is interesting if they want to win the series.

I would say Hope played decent knowing the fact that Hetmyer took the charge as hitting batsman. He just played a role of someone to go along with Hetmyer to do the run chase and it worked in the end. ODI becomes kinda slightly long so it doesn't matters much but would have been a bog deal if it had been T-20.

No doubt that West Indies played a sensible innings and if India was able to pick wickets during the final phase of the innings then it would have been interesting to watch because of the suspense factor and the pressure the batsman has to consume but they played a composed innings and picked the gaps rather than going for wild slogs and that was sensible cricket, India dropped catches in this  match too and they need to improve their catching if they need to win.

I been a long time since i saw India team in such a bad form. Beating India in India is a big achievement by the West Indies.  
Chennai crowd would be disappointed  today seeing their team lost in front of the home crowd. Shimron Hetmyer 139 runs was a classical innings which is unforgettable.

I still think west Indies have a way lot wickets in hand even until the end. India definitely is missing their two main frontline seamers Jasprit Bumrah and Bhuvi. Along with that dew was really a factor which couldn't be ignored. I don't know why but I feel that the combo with Hardik Pandya in the squad and two Spinner Kuldeep chahal and two seamers bhuvi-bumrah is the best bowling combination India can go with.

Lots of unfit players is making team's morale down. Moreover it's pretty obvious that dew was a great factor today. Why is it always that when India wins it's either Kohli or Rohit who is the superhero of the win and if both of them fail India really never wins.

In day night matches dew is always a factor as the bowlers will find it hard to grip the ball as with the humidity in India it is obvious that winning the toss and electing to field is the best option always and West Indies was lucky enough to win the toss and they chased the target with ease, toss is a factor and i would like to bet in the next match as i saw the odds for West Indies were huge as India was the favorite.

[sureshnsnet]

It is disappointing performance from Indian top order batting lineup but the middle order gives good performance between  Iyer and pant with that partnership  Indian team reached 287 runs it will decent score but West Indies bowlers did great job to control Indian team under 300 runs and reached target without any trouble with two centuries between hope and hetmyer.

India would be disappointed the way they bowl and just could take wickets at regular interval or break that partnership which resulted in winning of the game for WI . India would now have to rethink as WI is looking very strong now .
