India vs West Indies 1st T20 Highlights: IND cruise to 68-run win over WI

11 runs came off that last over and India have strolled to victory here. West Indies were never really in this chase. They have some big names in that lineup, even though the likes of Chris Gayle, Kieron Pollard, Andre Russell and Sunil Narine are not here. Have to feel for the West Indies fans, who turned up in numbers and even cheered loudly when two insignificant boundaries were hit in the last over. India have taken a 1-0 lead in the five-match series now. 

West Indies have scored 111/8. In case you are wondering, they need 80 runs to win off this last over. Might turn out to be a difficult task. Ravi Bishnoi is bowling. 

Just going through the motions now. West Indies have been completely outplayed here. They came out swinging and never stopped doing that even when they were falling line dominoes. 

Bouncer from Hardik Pandya, Paul doesn't expect that. He goes for a pull way too early and takes the ball on his ribs. Pandya himself grimaces and takes a look as the physio goes to work on Paul.

Smith dances down the track way to early, Bishnoi sends it at pace outside off. Smith misses it completely and Pant has all the time in the world to knock off the bails. 

Smith st Pant b Ravi Bishnoi 0 (2), West Indies 86/7 on 13.2 overs

Last over of his spell and he gets the big wicket of Hetmyer. West Indies are well and truly out of this contest. A packed Brian Lara stadium, a large majority of them West Indies supporters but they haven't got much of a show today. 

Cleans him up completely. Powell doesn't pick the googly and his stumps are rattled. 

Powell b Ravi Bishnoi 14 (17), West Indies 82/5 in 11.1 overs

That's the end of the West Indies captain. Tossed up by Ashwin, Pooran rocks back to try and cut it but only gets a top edge. Pant is standing right behind and he reacts quickly to take the catch. 

Pooran c Pant b Ashwin 18 (15), West Indies 66/4 in 8.2 overs

Powell is in the middle with Pooran and India will know just how important it is to break this dangerous little partnership. Pooran has reached 18 off 14 while Powell has made nine off as many balls. 

Quite similar to India, with the one big difference being that West Indies have lost three and the visitors had lost 2 in the first six overs. 

And that is the end of Shamarh Brooks's stay. Slower ball at length around middle from Brooks and he is way to early to a big cross batted heave. The bails take flight behind him. 

Brooks b Bhuvneshwar 20 (15), West Indies 42/3 in 5.2 overs

Brooks with a six off Ashwin in the 5th and he has moved to 20 off 13 at the end of it. It has been a good start so far from the opener. 

Holder might have been sent in as a pinch hitter at No.3, he has only managed to get a four-ball duck. Backs away to hit it over the ring but Holder is done by the spin Jadeja gets. The ball just goes and hits the stumps. 

Holder b Jadeja 0 (4), West Indies 27/2 in 3 overs. 

Arshdeep stands with his arms wide open and a frown on his face, gives Mayers a bit of a stare as well for good measure. Short with pace taken off, Mayers surprised with that and goes for some kind of a cross-batted shot. It floats to midwicket. Mayers and hit a six off the very first ball of this over and then a four off the next.

Mayers c Kumar b Arshdeep Singh 15 (6) West Indies 22/1

Two fours in that over, with Mayers hitting one off the second ball of the over itself. Arshdeep Singh to bowl the second. 

Bhuvneshwar with the ball in his hands, Kyle Mayers and Shamarh Brooks open the batting for the West Indies. 

He stabilised the innings first and then went haywire. 36 runs came off the last two overs, most of it from DK. He and Rohit have been the stars of this innings and he almost single handedly has taken India to a very strong total when it looked like they might be all out before they cross 170. 

India can thank Dinesh Karthik and Nicholas Pooran's decision to pack the infield with five fielders for this one. With the licence to go over the infield, Karthik did what he does best. He finishes unbeaten on 41 off 19 balls. 79 runs off the last five overs and the partnership between Ashwin and Karthik ends on 52 off 25. 

That inexplicable decision from Pooran to bring in the field has allowed Karthik to just whack the ball over cover. That would have been an easy catch if there was any fielder there. India 175/6 in 19 overs. 

Holder goes full and Karthik simply picks it up and deposits the ball well past deep midwicket. Pooran for some reason brings in the fielders! Karthik has full license to go for it now. 

Holder misses the yorker, it becomes a low full toss and Ashwin sends it soaring into the stands. It is also called a no ball.  

Well some bizarre scenes in the 18th over. Karthik and Ashwin take a tight second run and the ball arrives in McCoy's hands. It was a good return and Ashwin is not even in the frame as McCoy collects the ball but for some reason, the fast bowler doesn't dislodge the bails! That is quite extraordinary, a free wicket let go of by McCoy. 

Short and wide from Joseph, not the best of deliveries from him. Jadeja opens the face of the bat and only ends up finding short third man. 

Jadeja c Paul b Joseph 16 (13), India 138/6 in 16 overs

Wonderful catch from Hetmyer diving forward and Holder gets the big wicket of Rohit Sharma! Slow and back of a length from Holder, Rohit ends up finding wide long off. 

Rohit Sharma c Hetmyer b Holder 64 (44), India 127/5 in 14.5 overs

Back of a length from Odean Smith, Rohit rocks back and cuts it past point for his seventh four. India 124/4 in 14 overs
