Brandon King has got the West Indies to a rather flying start almost single-handedly after the hosts won the toss and chose to bat first. Yuzvendra Chahal got the breakthrough for India with the scalp of the struggling Kyle Mayers. Chahal then dismissed King in the same over but Nicholas Pooran came out swinging and propelled West Indies to a score of 54/2 at the end of the powerplay. The Indian bowlers kept a lid on it for the rest of the innings though and West Indies ended up scoring 149/6 in 20 overs. Both Rovman Powell and Pooran missed out on half centuries. India have got off to a sluggish start in the chase, with Shubman Gill falling early.
