On to the last over now. This is fairly academic now. WI need 80 from 6 balls. A four to start. Another boundary follows. A little too late though. All over. India win by 68 runs.
Cleaned him up. What a match Arshdeep is having. West Indies are in a world of trouble now. This is all India now. On course to win the game. WI 102/8 after 16.3 overs
Another down. This is getting too easy for the Indian bowlers. Odean Smith comes down the track, misses the ball and Pant stumps him. WI 86/7 after 13.2 overs.
That's another one down as Hetmyer falls to Ashwin as Suryakumar Yadav takes the catch in the deep. West Indies in a world of trouble. WI 86/6 after 13 overs.
GONE!!! What an introduction for Bishnoi. That is what he can do. Powell tries to make room, did not get in the way of that googly and he's back in the hut in a jiffy. WI 82/5 after 11.1 overs.
And gone!!! Ashwin has done the job for India. What a corker. Pooran tries to play the flat ball, gets the edge and Pant takes the catch behind the wicket!!! WI 66/4 after 8.2 overs.
After a 6 in the previous over, Pooran continues with a 4 in the 8th over. India would do well to take this man out. Rovman Powell joins the party and just effortlessly hits the 5th ball for a 6. WI 65/3 after 8 overs
Bhuvneshwar in to bowl the last over inside powerplay. And gone!!! What a delivery by Bhuvi. Slower delivery and that has taken off the bails of Brooks.
On to the 5th over now and Ashwin is in to bowl this one. Very nice fielding from Iyer in the deep to save a boundary. Doesn't matter as Brooks hits a huge six!!! WI 42/2 after 5 overs.
Jadeja gets the wicket of Holder. That's a great delivery by Jadeja, gets a wicket in his very first over for India. Great captaincy by Rohit Sharma. WI are 27/2 after 3 overs.
Mayers hits a six against Arshdeep Singh. He again hits him for a boundary. But then Arshdeep Singh gets a breakthrough. He snaps up Mayers and Bhuvneshwar takes an easy catch. WI are 22/1 after 2 overs.
