West Indies Champions Innings

Captain Kieron Pollard was the mainstay of the innings; he blasted 74 unbeaten off only 43 balls, which comprised 8 sixes and 3 fours. After losing top- and middle-order batsmen very quickly, Pollard coming from the other end gave the total some respectability. Dwayne Smith (20 off 21) and Dwayne Bravo (9 off 20) were too cautious against Indian bowlers, and hence they scored at a slow rate. Piyush Chawla was brilliant with the ball, finishing with figures of 3/18 in his 4 overs, while Stuart Binny (2/17) and Varun Aaron (2/40) also got some wickets. At one point, the Windies were 57/6 before Pollard’s explosive finish pushed them to 144/9.
