GONE!!! And Holder lands the killer blow. Hardik had actually smacked that but it just gets the fielder. The ominous looking partnership is broken. IND 104/5 after 14 overs
That's another six from this over. Hardik Pandya is on song tonight. Odean Smith does not look happy, Unlike most of the WI bowlers, he has had no luck against this Indian lineup. IND 96/4 after 12 overs
India are 75/4 after 10 overs. On to the 11th now and Jadeja starts Akeal Hosein's over with a six!!! 3 runs off the next 4 balls. What a turn. Might be a stumping miss. IND 84/4 after 11 overs.
Rishabh Pant started the 7th over with a boundary but Akeal Hosein gets the last laugh as Pant tries to hit one and perishes. IND 61/4 after 6.3 overs.
Last over inside the powerplay and India are hitting sixes. No wicket will stop them. This time it's Pandya who punishes Smith for a massive six. IND 56/3 after 6 overs
Odean Smith in to bowl the 4th over and Pant has hit him for a six. It's up to him and Iyer to give India a fighting total. But no the next over, Alzarri Joseph snaps up Iyer. not to be tonight. IND 40/3 after 4.2 overs.
That's another gone. West Indies have made a blistering start and McCoy is the one pulling all the strings in the middle. Gets rid of Suryakumar Yadav next!!! IND 17/2 after 2.1 overs
Now then, we start with Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav on the pitch. Surya is wearing Arshdeep's shirt and what just happened??? Rohit is gone first ball. Edged it and Akeal Hosein takes the catch off McCoy!! IND 0/1 after 0.1 overs.

We gonna have a bowl, wickets look nice and we will try and use our experience. We want to forget that game and believe in our process and execute our plans. Different conditions today and the guys are looking forward to whatever spin/seam attack they have. We have two changes. Keemo Paul and Brooks are out.
It was quite pleasing for us, the way we played first game. We stuck to our plans and executed it really well. It's another opportunity for us and we are looking to repeat what we did in the first one. We want the guys to be able to bat anywhere and don't want them to be batting in specific positions. We want the guys to be flexible, there are two ways to look at it depending on certain players. We probably read the pitch well in the first game and thought as a team we made the right call to go with three spinners. The dimensions are different here and wanted to get an extra seamer here. Bishnoi misses out unfortunately and Avesh Khan comes in. It's unfortunate that he misses out but we are trying whatever we can from the team's perspective.

As we wait for the toss and the match to officially begin, here's the highlights of the 1st match to whet your appetite.
In the last match, Dinesh Karthik helped the team set a target in excess of 190. The 37-year-old once again aced the finisher's role (41 off 19 balls) to help the team amass 36 runs off the last two overs. Given Karthik's prowess, he would fancy his chances of doing an encore.
