Cricket Scorecard

We are back for the chase!

... THE RUN CHASE ...

Washington Sundar is down for a chat! He says that he feels good to be back in the Indian colours. Mentions that it's great to get some turn first up, and he and Yuzvendra Chahal both enjoyed bowling on this pitch. Adds that in one-day games mostly everyone prefers to start with seamers and he is used to bowling in the eighth and ninth overs. States that the target is not big, and they should get over the line comfortably. 

The Windies' batting was extremely poor. None of the top 6 managed to cross the 20-run mark. Their highest score came from the man walking in at number 7, Holder who scored a fine half-ton. Had it not been for him and Allen, Windies would have been bowled out for maybe below 100 but the stand between the two has given some respectability to the score.  

End of a really good performance with the ball by India and they will be mighty pleased with how things stand at the moment. It was Siraj who started it off but the spinners were the highlight in this innings. Both Sundar and Chahal were absolutely brilliant and they managed to bag 7 wickets amongst them. Prasidh Krishna also had a decent outing. Shardul Thakur will be a touch disappointed with his effort but overall India will be really happy. 

Now then, the target is not a big one and this should be chased down easily! Windies will need a miracle if they are to defend this. To start with, they need wickets quickly. Can they do so? We will find out.

The teams line up for the national anthems. The national anthem of West Indies will be played followed by India's national anthem. 

West Indies (Playing XI) - Shai Hope (WK), Brandon King, Darren Bravo, Shamarh Brooks, Nicholas Pooran, Kieron Pollard (C), Jason Holder, Fabian Allen, Akeal Hosein, Alzarri Joseph, Kemar Roach. 

India (Playing XI) - Rohit Sharma (C), Ishan Kishan, Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant (WK), Suryakumar Yadav, Deepak Hooda, Washington Sundar, Shardul Thakur, Mohammed Siraj, Yuzvendra Chahal, Prasidh Krishna.  

Rohit Sharma, the skipper of India, says it looks like a good pitch and it won’t change a lot, it might get better under lights. Adds that he is happy to be back, playing for the country is the priority, it has been a couple of months since he has played and he is happy he is back. Mentions it is a historic day in Indian cricket and it has been a long journey for them and India has seen a lot of ups and downs but they have grown as a team. Informs Hooda is making his debut and they are playin

Kieron Pollard, the skipper of West Indies, says the toss is 50-50, they need to adapt to the conditions and play well. States the guys have to adapt according to the pitch and the conditions, they need to adjust mentally and bat longer as this is a 50-over game. Informs they have two changes, Roach and Fabian Allen come in, Darren Bravo also returns.

TOSS - Up goes the coin and lands in the favour of India. They have elected to BOWL first.

PITCH REPORT -  Ian Bishop is near the pitch. He says that the pitch is nice and green. Adds that live grass has been removed in certain areas and also there are a few dry areas, the odd deliveries might grip off the surface. Mentions that this wicket looks like a good one to bat on, and if the dew arrives later in the day, batting will become even easier. So the captain winning the toss should ideally bowl first.

... MATCH DAY ...

The major problem for India continues to be their middle order which was quite evident in their last series. However, their bowling also lacked the bite, except for Bumrah, the others did not have a great series against South Africa. The hosts are without their ace pacemen Shami and Bumrah in this one and it is a good chance for the others to step up.

West Indies, on the other hand, are a team in transition. They have a lot of quality in their ranks, a lot of potential but it is now time to put that into use. They were quite poor against the Irish but will be high on confidence after beating England before coming here but in the shortest format. They though will need to be at their best if they are to win this. Toss and teams in a bit…

Cricket is back in India and it is the format in which the Indians have struggled in recent times, the 50-over format. They welcome West Indies for a three-game ODI series followed by a three-match T20I series. Welcome to the coverage of the first game India’s 1000th ODI game. 

Not only the Indians but West Indies have also not endured a good time in the ODI format in recent times. Both head into this series on the back of losses. India, failed to register a win in the ODI series against South Africa whereas, West Indies lost the series against Ireland in their own backyard. Both will be eager to win with the World Cup Super League points at stake. India are heavy favourites but West Indies do enjoy the conditions here so we could expect a few close games.

We are back for the chase!

... THE RUN CHASE ...

Washington Sundar is down for a chat! He says that he feels good to be back in the Indian colours. Mentions that it's great to get some turn first up, and he and Yuzvendra Chahal both enjoyed bowling on this pitch. Adds that in one-day games mostly everyone prefers to start with seamers and he is used to bowling in the eighth and ninth overs. States that the target is not big, and they should get over the line comfortably. 

The Windies' batting was extremely poor. None of the top 6 managed to cross the 20-run mark. Their highest score came from the man walking in at number 7, Holder who scored a fine half-ton. Had it not been for him and Allen, Windies would have been bowled out for maybe below 100 but the stand between the two has given some respectability to the score.  

End of a really good performance with the ball by India and they will be mighty pleased with how things stand at the moment. It was Siraj who started it off but the spinners were the highlight in this innings. Both Sundar and Chahal were absolutely brilliant and they managed to bag 7 wickets amongst them. Prasidh Krishna also had a decent outing. Shardul Thakur will be a touch disappointed with his effort but overall India will be really happy. 

Now then, the target is not a big one and this should be chased down easily! Windies will need a miracle if they are to defend this. To start with, they need wickets quickly. Can they do so? We will find out.

The teams line up for the national anthems. The national anthem of West Indies will be played followed by India's national anthem. 

West Indies (Playing XI) - Shai Hope (WK), Brandon King, Darren Bravo, Shamarh Brooks, Nicholas Pooran, Kieron Pollard (C), Jason Holder, Fabian Allen, Akeal Hosein, Alzarri Joseph, Kemar Roach. 

India (Playing XI) - Rohit Sharma (C), Ishan Kishan, Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant (WK), Suryakumar Yadav, Deepak Hooda, Washington Sundar, Shardul Thakur, Mohammed Siraj, Yuzvendra Chahal, Prasidh Krishna.  

Rohit Sharma, the skipper of India, says it looks like a good pitch and it won’t change a lot, it might get better under lights. Adds that he is happy to be back, playing for the country is the priority, it has been a couple of months since he has played and he is happy he is back. Mentions it is a historic day in Indian cricket and it has been a long journey for them and India has seen a lot of ups and downs but they have grown as a team. Informs Hooda is making his debut and they are playin

Kieron Pollard, the skipper of West Indies, says the toss is 50-50, they need to adapt to the conditions and play well. States the guys have to adapt according to the pitch and the conditions, they need to adjust mentally and bat longer as this is a 50-over game. Informs they have two changes, Roach and Fabian Allen come in, Darren Bravo also returns.

TOSS - Up goes the coin and lands in the favour of India. They have elected to BOWL first.

PITCH REPORT -  Ian Bishop is near the pitch. He says that the pitch is nice and green. Adds that live grass has been removed in certain areas and also there are a few dry areas, the odd deliveries might grip off the surface. Mentions that this wicket looks like a good one to bat on, and if the dew arrives later in the day, batting will become even easier. So the captain winning the toss should ideally bowl first.

... MATCH DAY ...

The major problem for India continues to be their middle order which was quite evident in their last series. However, their bowling also lacked the bite, except for Bumrah, the others did not have a great series against South Africa. The hosts are without their ace pacemen Shami and Bumrah in this one and it is a good chance for the others to step up.

West Indies, on the other hand, are a team in transition. They have a lot of quality in their ranks, a lot of potential but it is now time to put that into use. They were quite poor against the Irish but will be high on confidence after beating England before coming here but in the shortest format. They though will need to be at their best if they are to win this. Toss and teams in a bit…

Cricket is back in India and it is the format in which the Indians have struggled in recent times, the 50-over format. They welcome West Indies for a three-game ODI series followed by a three-match T20I series. Welcome to the coverage of the first game India’s 1000th ODI game. 

Not only the Indians but West Indies have also not endured a good time in the ODI format in recent times. Both head into this series on the back of losses. India, failed to register a win in the ODI series against South Africa whereas, West Indies lost the series against Ireland in their own backyard. Both will be eager to win with the World Cup Super League points at stake. India are heavy favourites but West Indies do enjoy the conditions here so we could expect a few close games.
