🏏West Indies vs India, 5th T20I : Lauderhill, Florida(USA) 🏏 - Page 3

Thanks for the tag🤗

All the best Team India... Come on set a record🥳

Hardik Pandya: We will bat first. Always feel, we should challenge ourselves. It was a good track. It played better than last year. You need to be courageous on these type of wickets. Arsh has a big heart. Even if you can make a good comeback even in the last two balls, it makes a difference.

Rovman Powell: Happy to bowl first. We have been struggling a little. But back-to-back wins put a smile on the faces of our people. I think it is a good surface. You just need to have plans for different batters. We just sat down and tried to come up with our best combination. Joseph, our premier bowler is back for McCoy.

Teams:

West Indies (Playing XI): Brandon King, Kyle Mayers, Shai Hope, Nicholas Pooran(w), Rovman Powell(c), Shimron Hetmyer, Jason Holder, Roston Chase, Romario Shepherd, Akeal Hosein, Alzarri Joseph

India (Playing XI): Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya(c), Sanju Samson(w), Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Arshdeep Singh, Yuzvendra Chahal, Mukesh Kumar

Why?😒

So batting first is not a bad idea. But everything depends on the batters' stroke play.

Yesterday, WI batted first and put a good total on the board. 178 is not a small total.

But Ind r good in chasing. They dont do that well batting 1st

IND: 6-1 after 1 overs

0.5 Akeal Hosein to Jaiswal, out Caught&Bowled!! Got him! Akeal Hosein draws first blood! Flat and pushed through quicker on off-stump, Jaiswal was pressing back looking to pull that through mid-wicket but was rushed into it by the pace, it went straight on too and took the outer half of the blade before going straight back to Hosein. He made no mistake and the Windies went up in celebration. No heroics from Jaiswal today. Jaiswal c and b Akeal Hosein 5(4) [4s-1]

Akeal Hosein to Jaiswal, THATS OUT!! Caught&Bowled!!

Oh no

IND: 10-1 after 2 overs
