With Mukesh Kumar playing the last ball for a single down the ground, the Indian team failed to chase down 150 at the Brian Lara Stadium in Tarouba, Trinidad, losing the first match of the five-match series by 4 runs. Jason Holder's 17th over was a maiden in which he got the wicket of Hardik Pandya and Sanju Samson was run out by Kyle Mayers. Before that, India needed 37 off 30, with two set batters at the crease.
India's chase did not start well with both the openers Shubman Gill and Ishan Kishan departing quickly. Debutnat Tilak Varma was brilliant till the time he stayed at the crease, tops-coring with 39 off just 22 balls. For the West Indies, Holder, Romario Shepherd and Obed McCoy picked two wickets each.
Earlier in the day, Indian bowlers did well to restrict the West Indies to only 149/6 in their 20 overs. Arshdeep SIngh (2/31) and Yuzvendra Chahal (2/24) picked two wickets each while Kuldeep Yadav was economical in his four-over spell as he went for only 20 runs and picked the important wicket of Jhonson Charles.
For the Windies, Nicholas Pooran and skipper Rovaman Powell were the only two batters to get going, scoring 41 and 48 respectively. Brandon King was decent at the start too with his 28, but could not convert the start into a big score.
West Indies skipper Powell won the toss and decided to bat first at Trinidad. For India, Mukesh Kumar and Tilak Varma made their T20I debuts.
