8:54 PM

IND vs WI 1st T20I Live Score: WI 147-6 | Over-19- Odean Smith and Pollard in the middle

 

Bang!! Hits a six does Pollard on the very first ball of the 19th over as Bhuvneshwar balls it too full 

 

And two more runs come in as Pollard drops and runs 

 

Dropped !! Well more than dropped it is a great blow to Chahar at short square leg who tried to just to stop the ball which dropped in front of him at half volley 

 

8:48 PM

IND vs WI 1st T20I Live Score: WI 135-6 | Over-18- Pooran gone

 

Starts with a huge six does Nicholas Pooran. He picked up the slower ball early and deposited it over long-on for a huge six 

 

Cracked it to extra cover for just one run 

 

Gone !! Pooran is gone as a mother slower ball, wide of off to Pooran gets him driving but the lefty couldn't time it well and it has been grabbed by Kohli at long off. West Indies lose six 

8:40 PM

IND vs WI 1st T20I Live Score: WI 125-5 | Over-17- Pooran reaches fifty

 

Six!! On the very first ball, Pooran hits it over mid-wicket for a huge six as it was bowled up and the left-hander accepted the invitation 

 

And this time around it was wide and fast through the air and Pooran just guides it past the short third-man for four and reaches his seventh T20I fifty

 

And finally, a hit from Pollard as he smoked this one from the good length and the ball comes ta half volley to Venkatesh at long-on and he missed the tracer bullet 

 

16 so far from the over already and a single of the last ball takes West Indies to 125-5 with three overs remaining  

8:34 PM

IND vs WI 1st T20I Live Score: WI 108-5 | Over-16- 100 up for Windies

 

That's a great shot from Pooran but will only fetch him one run 

 

A very loud appeal from Bishmnoi as he almost runs to the batter appealing and India take the review as it was called not out from the umpire. 

 

There is no bat involved and ball tracking comes up and due to the impact being umpire's call, it remains not out 

 

Down the leg and Bishnoi would consider himself lucky as Pollard missed biog hoik 

 

Four runs as overthrows and 100 comes up for West Indies as Rohit aims at the stumps and misses it and the backward point fielder couldn't get to it

 

Four runs !! And a four over extra cover from Pooran 

 

12 runs from the over as Ravi Bishnoi finishes his first spell in his international career with figures of 2-17

8:27 PM

IND vs WI 1st T20I Live Score: WI 96-5 | Over-15- Great Over from Chahal

 

And Rohit Sharma beings in Yuzvendra Chahal just as Pollard comes to the crease 

 

A slow start by the West Indian captain as he wants to get off strike 

 

And Chahal falls in his follow-through as he tries to ball a quicker one 

 

And the leg spinner from Chahal gets Pollard all muddled up in his crease. And a forward defence to end the over. Only two runs came from it and it was the 15th over 

 

8:22 PM

IND vs WI 1st T20I Live Score: WI 94-5 | Over-14- Out!!

 

Six!! The fact that West Indies tried going in with Kalea Hoesin is only because they want him to play the anchor role and He greets Deepak Chahar in his second spell with a great straight six over the bowler's head on a ball that was on a length 

 

In the air and falls short of the fielder as the batters scamper for a single to bring Pooran on strike 

 

And that's the wicket. A soft dismissal as Akeal Hosein is gone 

Four just after the wicket from Pooran 

8:17 PM

IND vs WI 1st T20I Live Score: WI 81-4 | Over-13

 

Ravi Bishnoi keeps bowling the wide ball 

 

Just two runs and a wide and three runs from the over as the game moves pretty slowly 

8:14 PM

IND vs WI 1st T20I Live Score: WI 79-4 | Over-12

 

Venkatesh Iyer comes into the attack and goes for only five runs in an over that had nothing in it actually. Just a simple over 

8:08 PM

IND vs WI 1st T20I Live Score: WI 74-4 | Over-11- Ravi Bishnoi's first international wicket

 

First wicket for Bishnoi!! That was quick and came in sharply, a googly from Ravi Bishnoi as he hits Chase on the pads and the umpire gives him out. Chase takes the review and wastes it as the replays show that there was no bat involved and the ball would hit the middle and leg and Chase' struggle comes to an end. 

 

RovamanPowell comes to the crease and starts with paddle sweep. It went past the wicket-keeper and almost for four even as Bhuivenshwar Kumar pulled in a great dive to save two runs 

 

And another wicket for Bishnoi. From behind the stumps, Rohit said "Ghumane wali dalna" and Bishnoi served a flighted googly and Powell's eyes lit up, but he could only manage to get it straight to long-on 

 

Akeal Hosein is in the middle now 

7:58 PM

IND vs WI 1st T20I Live Score: WI 71-2 | Over-10- Pooran getting in

 

Harshal into the attack and started with a slower one 

 

Shouts of 'catch it' but it is way short of the fielder at deep mid-wicket 

 

Four runs !! Short and on the hips and Pooran pulls it for four down to the deep square leg 

 

We have reached the halfway mark and West Indies have made 71 runs. With a set Pooran in, they would look at a total beyond 160 for sure 

7:52 PM

IND vs WI 1st T20I Live Score: WI 63-2 | Over-09- Eventful over

 

A loud appeal from Chahal and Pant for LBW and that appeared to be going down leg as it was a leg spinner and hit Pooran above the knee roll 

 

And another loud appeal and India have gone for the review reluctantly and as the replays show, the impact was outside and therefore it remains not out

 

Sixx!! It was short and in the range for Pooran as he went down on one knee and slogged it over fine leg for a six to end the over 

7:46 PM

IND vs WI 1st T20I Live Score: WI 55-2 | Over-08- Ravi Bishnoi's first over had everything in it

 

Ravi Bisnhoi into the attack for the first time in his international career

 

Starts with two googlies and gets one way to more down the offside it becomes wide 

 

Finally getting into the line is Bishnoi and gives only four runs from the over so far even after three wides 

 

And there is a lot of confusion in the middle as India goes for a review. The umpire comes to Rohit and says that we are anyway taking an umpire's review for stumping. India's contention is for catch out. Virat Kohli said that it hit both bat and pad but Ultra edge shows that it did not hit the bat for sure. As for Stumping, the foot is grounded as well.

 

Now the ball was called wide but the review shows that the ball took the pad and would he change the wide ? Yes, he does. That's wholesome over now 

7:38 PM

IND vs WI 1st T20I Live Score: WI 51-2 | Over-07- Bishnoi Miss Noi!! Chahal still gets Mayers

 

Caught... No, it's a six !! 

 

Well that was the first time Ravi Bishnoi was in action and he caught the ball and touched the ropes, but surprisingly Umpire signalled that as out...but was overturned buy t Third Umpire to six runs for Pooran 

 

How did that miss the wicket !! A perfect Googly from Chahal misses the bat and touches to pads of Mayers to miss the stumps. 

 

A huge appeal and Mayers is out!! But he has gone for review and the replays show that it probably hit him just in line and the wickets is the umpire's call. It would have been touch and go and it goes in favour of India. Mayers' entertainment comes to an end. 

7:30 PM

IND vs WI 1st T20I Live Score: WI 44-1 | Over-06- Kyle Mayers show moves on

 

And Harshal Patel is in the attack now

 

Four runs !! Wow.. this guy is talented. It was short and on off and middle but Mayers moves it towards off stump and pulls it off his hips to four towards fine leg 

 

That was a good slower ball from Harshal 

 

Edge and four!! Once again Mayers moved towards the off side and tried to drive the ball which took the outside edge and went between  Pant and short third man for four runs 

7:26 PM

IND vs WI 1st T20I Live Score: WI 35-1 | Over-05- Mayer on a roll

 

Four runs !! It was short and at Bhuvi's speed,  a short ball is an invitation to pull and that was gladly accepted by Mayers who pulled it for four over long-on

 

And another four!! Well not as Harshal; Patel flies and stops a certain four at deep square leg 

 

Four!! But not this time says Mayers as he steps out and gives himself room and players through the off side ring for four 

 

Cheeky but no run as Mayres tries to play it down third man
