India won the match by six wickets to take a 1-0 lead in the three-match series. "We had spoken before the game.

India vs West Indies: Jason Holder feels Windies batters should put bigger prize on their wickets
West Indies all-rounder Jason Holder, who top scored in the first ODI against India here, feels that their batters should put a bigger prize on the wickets in the remaining two games. Once again West Indies failed to bat all the 50 overs and were shot out for a meagre 176 in just 43.5 overs. Eventually, the visitors lost the game by six wickets to go 0-1 down in the three-match series. “We just got to put a bigger prize on our wicket, too many soft dismissals in the innings today (on Sunday). The pitch was a little difficult to start off but more or less we still got to dig a little-bit deeper, put (up) a much better fight. "We got a couple of days off and come back stronger,” Holder told a select group of reporters in his post-match comments on Sunday.
