The visitors have not won a single game and will definitely look to seal the dead rubber to open the account in the white-ball leg. Coming back to Team India, after the win in the second ODI, Pant said young batter Venkatesh Iyer is a mature cricketer, who reads the situation very well. Pant (52) and Venkatesh Iyer (33) had played crucial knocks to help India post 186/5 in the 20 overs in the second T2oI. “When you come down the order, you know the situation. He (Iyer) is someone who reads the situation really well. We talked about keeping it simple and not trying too many things. The plan was simple, see the ball, hit the ball,” said Pant in the post-match press conference. “He (Iyer) is a mature cricketer. He used to play down the order for MP. Yes, in the IPL he is opening, but we can’t be thinking too much about that. In the Indian team, we are just trying to find different positions for different people,” he added.

India take a review for LBW against Shepherd but it was missing leg. It was a slower full toss that hit the batter’s pads. Two leg byes followed by a single. Swing and miss from Allen. One for Allen and Shepher falls after this. Another brilliant catch. Another catch that went up very high. 23 more needed.

Shardul strikes and the danger man Pooran is out. He wanted to slog it on the legside but the top edge did him. Kishan took the catch brilliantly as it went up very high.

Wow! Romario can hit big. Fuller delivery from Bishnoi has been sent into the stands with a slog sweep by Romario. Good comeback by Bishnoi with a dot ball.

After 12 overs,West Indies 100/6 ( Nicholas Pooran (W) 37 , Romario Shepherd 0)
Harshal gets his second over and second wicket. We have seen this in IPL and now it has arrived at the international stage. Harshal bowls the perfect slower yorker to outwit Chase and clean bowl the batter. Romario Shepherd is the new man in. Two from the over.
Roston Chase b Patel 12 (7)
Terrific ball! A slower off-cutter at yorker length and Chase is beaten all ends up. What bowling from Harshal.

After 8 overs,West Indies 77/3 ( Nicholas Pooran (W) 32 , Kieron Pollard (C) 1)
Bishnoi continues. Half-hearted LBW appeal against Pollard but the impact was outside off. Second LBW appeal and this time India take the review. It was a googly but once again the impact was outside off. Pollard survives. Excellent over. Just four from it.
After 7 overs,West Indies 73/3 ( Nicholas Pooran (W) 31 , Kieron Pollard (C) 0)
Harshal Patel is into the attack now. Half-tracker first up and Pooran pulls it to square leg for four runs. Slower ball next up for a dot. Another short ball fetches one run. Catch opportunity for Harshal off his own bowling against Powell. He dives to his right, does well but couldn’t take it. It doesn’t matter. Shardul takes an excellent catch at third man to remove Powell. That top-edged was swinging in the air and went up very high. Brilliant. Dot ball to end the over.
Powell c Thakur b Harshal Patel 25(14)
What a catch! Shardul judges the catch so well at third man. Powell top-edged it trying to play a pull and the ball went super high but nothing is impossible for Shardul.
After 6 overs,West Indies 68/2 ( Nicholas Pooran (W) 26 , Rovman Powell 25)
Ravi Bishnoi into the attack. He starts off nicely but a wayward googly allows Pooran to free his hands and collect four runs on the offside. Seven from the over.
After 5 overs,West Indies 60/2 ( Nicholas Pooran (W) 20 , Rovman Powell 23)
Shardul Thakur welcomed into the attack with a six by Powell. Short ball and Powell flicks it off hips for a six over the fine leg. Another short ball is under-edged to the fine leg for a four. A top-edge from Powell as a result of another short ball falls in no man’s land at long-off. Shardul continues bowling short and this time Powell slams one to cover fence for another four. 18 off the over.
After 4 overs,West Indies 42/2 ( Nicholas Pooran (W) 20 , Rovman Powell 6)
Good start for Avesh this time. Only two runs from the first three balls but then he errs with a short ball which was been pulled for four runs by Pooran. One more boundary with Pooran playing another pull shot off another short ball. 10 from the over.
After 3 overs,West Indies 32/2 ( Nicholas Pooran (W) 11 , Rovman Powell 6)
Short ball from Chahar and Hope pulls it for a four on his first ball of the match. Next ball is flicked to the same area for another four. Chahar finds his line and length for a dot before finding the edge of Hope’s bat to get his second wicket of the match. Sadly he fails to finish the over as he pulled up his hamstring. Venkatesh Iyer bowls the final ball and it is hit for a six by Rovman Powell.
OUT! Shai Hope c Ishan Kishan b Chahar 8(4)
Swing is king tonight! Chahar finds outswing this time and Hope edges it to the keeper. Brilliant bowling.
After 2 overs,West Indies 18/1 ( Shai Hope 0 , Nicholas Pooran (W) 11)
Avesh Khan’s first ball on debut has been smacked for a four by Pooran. Two runs and the next ball is hit uppishly on the off for another four. Good comeback from the pacer after this as three dot balls are bowled.
After 1 overs,West Indies 7/1 ( Shai Hope 0 , Nicholas Pooran (W) 1)
Deepak Chahar bowls the first over for India. Mayers goes for a lofted shot first ball and it falls just short of mid-on fielder. He collects two runs followed by an LBW appeal. He was given out but reviews show it was missing stumps and Mayers reviews successfully. Four for Mayers after this as he drills the fuller ball to the long-off fence. But he has to depart as Chahar gets him caught behind on the next ball. Mayers took a review but ultra-edge confirmed the knick. Pooran is the new man in.
WICKET! Mayers c Ishan Kishan b Chahar 6(5)
Chahar has his guy! Excellent fuller ball shapes away just a bit to take the edge onto its way to the keeper.
