The Presentation ceremony...

West Indies skipper Shai Hope won a crucial toss and decided to bowl first given the overcast conditions and chances of rain throughout the game. This decision didn't bear fruit until they got their first wicket with India's score being 90 runs. From thereon though, Romario Shepherd bowled a lovely spell and the hosts managed to pick up wickets in clusters in a span of few overs. Everyone contributed with wickets apart from Kyle Mayers with Gudakesh Motie and Romario Shepherd ending with three each. For India, Ishan Kishan scored yet another half-century on this tour and Shubman Gill too looked good till he got out but after that, the middle order totally crumbled and they somehow managed to get to the 180-run mark. In reply, with the game hanging in the balance, Shai Hope and Keacy Carty put on an unbeaten stand of 91 runs to take their side to victory.

India rested a couple of their big guns in the batting department which definitely made a big difference and they had a sub-par total on the board. But their bowling attack in general also lacked a bit of bite and apart from Shardul Thakur no one really showed up as he picked up three wickets and gave his side half a chance. The pace trio of Hardik Pandya, Mukesh Kumar and Umran Malik was off-colour, and even in the spin department, only Kuldeep Yadav did a bit of damage. The ground fielding was also not up to their high standards and they will now look to bounce back strong in the series decider.

A resilient showing from the Windies skipper Shai Hope and Keacy Carty has taken their side to a first ODI win against India since 2019, breaking a run of nine successive losses and more importantly has allowed the hosts to level the series. It really was a solid all-around display from West Indies as the skipper led from the front with the bat and they will be fairly pleased with that effort. The win was set up nicely by the bowlers and the fielders and this was backed up by a fiery opening start by Kyle Mayers. However, they lost a couple of wickets in quick succession and the same happened after a few overs again. Then came the all-vital stand as skipper Shai Hope ended up with a match-winning half-century and Keacy Carty remained unbeaten on a crucial 48 as well. They will now look to build on this win and clinch the decider.
