West Indies vs India at Port of Spain

India thrashes West Indies by 102 runs

After defeats to the hosts and Sri Lanka, Champions Trophy winners India beat West Indies by 102 runs in Port of Spain to get their first victory of the Tri-Nation Series. Indian openers Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan put on 123 in 23.1 overs for the first wicket and then stand-in skipper Virat Kohli struck 102 off 83 balls at the Queen's Park Oval after West Indies captain Dwayne Bravo won the toss and elected to put India in to bat on a grassy looking wicket. India ended up with 311 for seven in their alloted 50 overs.

Chasing a target of 312, West Indies lost opener Chris Gayle and Darren Bravo, both to seamer Bhuvneshwar Kumar. A 90-minute rain delay saw the target reduced to 274 from 39 overs with the bonus point cut-off for India 219. The hosts were bowled out for 171 off 34 overs to lose by 102 runs on the Duckworth/Lewis method, with seamers Bhuvneshwar Kumar (3-29), Umesh Yadav (3-32) and Ishant Sharma (2-30) doing much of the damage.Left-arm spinner Ravindra Jadeja, who took two wickets in two balls to finish off the match, was involved in an unpleasant on-field exchange with Suresh Raina who dropped two difficult catches off Jadeja's bowling in the 26th and 32nd over of the Windies innings. An ugly situation ensued when the two star players of Team India exchanged heated arguments on two different occasions. After India’s victory, Raina fired some words, forcing Jadeja to go berserk while the tv cameras were rolling.

With 15 to get off the last over, and only one wicket remaining, Dhoni, who was struggling throughout the innings, hit a 6, 4 and a 6 after missing out on the first ball from Shaminda Eranga to take India home.

They lost their two openers to Bhuvneshwar Kumar but a 122-run stand for the third wicket by Lahiru Thirimanne (46) and Kumar Sangakkara (71) put them on course for a massive total.
