IND vs WI Ball by Ball Commentary

There's the winning run. And fittingly, it comes from the skipper's bat. West Indies win by 5 wickets and 10 balls to spare. A win for them on Indian soil in this format after a long, long time, and this one will taste much sweeter, having also avoided a series whitewash in the process. Tossed up on a fuller length, outside off. Hope hangs back and eases this one down to long off with the smoothest of drives for a single. A record-breaking chase for the men in maroon, and it is the captain, battling through a niggle for nearly half the innings, who finishes the job in style.

SIX! SCORES ARE LEVEL! A juicy full toss by Dhir, on the pads. Shai Hope gets down on his back knee and sweeps it aerially, clearing the deep fine leg fence for a biggie.

SIX! Goes the distance and that should be the game for West Indies. A massive over as 22 runs come from it. Just 7 runs needed off the last 12 balls. Short delivery around off and middle, Motie clears the front leg and nails the pull away over the long leg fence for a six.

TOP EDGE, FOUR! West Indies are in the ascendancy now. Comes from over the stumps and slams it hard into the pitch. Short on top of the stumps with a spongy bounce.

FOUR! 150 up for Hope! And that's the second time he has reached this figure in his ODI career. Kamboj misses the yorker by a yard or so, continuing from around the stumps.

FOUR! Gets it away and there's the big over West Indies were looking for. 15 runs from it. 29 needed from 18. Brar goes for the yorker, but Motie reads it well, opening his stance to expose the stumps and steering it fine to the right of the backward point fielder for a boundary.

Short and outside off, Motie stands up on his toes and steers it to the left of deep third for a couple of runs. Anshul Kamboj should have thrown the ball to the bowling end, where Shai Hope was struggling to complete the run.

Forde hops back in the crease and takes the risk of going against the turn as he looks to pull. He fails to get hold of it and holes out to deep mid-wicket, where Naman Dhir steadies himself in front of the boundary cushions and takes a safe catch.

Doing too much! Nipping back in and it skids through, on a good length. Forde plays all around it and wears it on the front pad. Brar bails out of the appeal quickly and gestures that it is going down leg. A leg bye is taken as the ball goes away on the off side.

Fine stop. Full and darted in at the pads. Hope helps it away with the angle and the ball travels quickly to short fine leg, where Kuldeep Yadav dives to his right and saves a certain boundary. Just a single.

FOUR! Crunched. Right in the slot, on middle. Hope clears the front leg and gets his hands through the line, smashing it back past the bowler's head for a boundary.

CHANCE GOES DOWN! Not sure if Kuldeep Yadav would have managed to keep himself away from the ropes even if he had taken it. Kamboj digs it in short, over middle. Forde goes for the pull but the ball kicks up to take the top edge. It is skied a long way up to deep fine leg, where Kuldeep sprints to his right and gets his hands high to take the catch.

Paul takes a step or two down the track and swings across for the pull, but he is rushed, and the ball hits high on the bat. Hits it flat and straight down the throat of Nitish Kumar Reddy at deep square leg, who stays side on and takes the catch to his right.

OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Or is it? Sherfane Rutherford has taken the review almost immediately and looks pretty confident. There was a noise, but the replays seem to indicate that it could be from the bat clipping the back pad. This is dropped short and it skids through, cramping Sherfane for room. Rutheford hangs back and goes for the cut before it is snaffled by the keeper, KL Rahul. There is a spike on UltraEdge, and the third umpire agrees that the bat has grazed the back pad, but he finds no gap between the bat and the ball and asks the on-field umpire to stand by his decision of OUT. To be fair, there did appear to be a slight gap on the zoomed-in image, but it is worth remembering that the third umpire needs conclusive evidence to overturn the on-field decision. Rutherford cannot believe it, but he has no other option but to trudge off. Big moment in the game. Naman Dhir has his maiden ODI wicket. West Indies are 206/3, needing 146 runs from 120 balls.

The ball skids through to graze the glove and brushes the thigh pad as well on its way to the keeper. KL Rahul leans forward to snaffle it. He completes the catch before going up in an appeal. It is sent upstairs for a check, where the replays show that the ball bounced in front before going into the keeper's gloves.
