India underlined their strength in depth with a crushing 119-run victory over the West Indies on the Duckworth Lewis Stern method in the rain-effected third and final One-Day International at Queen's Park Oval in Trinidad.
West Indies skipper Nicholas Pooran said that though the 0-3 scoreline is "tough" on the team, the hosts are looking forward to the T20I series up next. Top bowling spells from spinner Yuzvendra Chahal and pacers Mohammed Siraj and Shardul Thakur helped India crush West Indies by 119 runs (DLS method) in the rain-hit third and final ODI of the series here at the Queen's Park Oval on Thursday. "It was a tough one for us. We did a lot of right things in the first two games. I think we tried our best, the boys performed well. But there were a lot of games in a short span of time," said Pooran at the post-match presentation.
Indian top order batter KL Rahul will miss the entire T20I series against West Indies as he has been asked to take further rest after having tested positive for COVID-19 last week, sources in the BCCI told NDTV. Rahul had been recovering from an injury which had ruled him out of India's home T20I series against South Africa and the tour of England.
After facing a defeat against India in the second ODI, West Indies skipper Nicholas Pooran expressed his eagerness to win the next game. Half-centuries from Shreyas Iyer, Sanju Samson and Axar Patel helped Team India win the second ODI of the three-match series against West Indies by two wickets at Queens Park Oval stadium in Port of Spain on Sunday. "Definitely, last couple of overs we didn't hold our nerves. Last 6 overs, we lost the game. We felt a spinner was easier to hit. We just needed one wicket to seal the game but Axar played really well," said Pooran in a post-match presentation. "His (Hope's) 100th ODI, he was exceptional to get a hundred. We did an exceptional job with the batting group. We tried to compete really hard. We want to win really bad," he added.
Axar Patel's career-best 64 not out lifted India to a series-clinching two-wicket win with two balls to spare over the West Indies in the second One-Day International of a three-match series at Queen's Park Oval in Trinidad on Sunday.
Axar Patel turned out to be India's unlikely hero with the bat as he scored an unbeaten 64 off just 35 balls to help India chase down a big 312-run target against West Indies in the second ODI in Port of Spain. The win ensured that the Shikhar Dhawan-led Indian cricket team takes an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series. Patel's innings included five sixes and three fours. Set a stiff target of 312, the visitors were tottering at 205 for five in 38.4 overs but Patel rescued India with his six-hitting prowess, taking the visitors home with two balls to spare on Sunday. Needing six runs off last three balls, Patel clobbered Kyle Mayers straight over his head for a six
After opting to bat first, West Indies got off to a fantastic start as openers Kyle Mayers and Shai Hope put on 65 runs inside 10 overs and the duo were hitting the Indian pacers all around the park. However, it was Deepak Hooda, who came onto bowl in the 10th over, to end the partnership between Mayers and hope. The off-spinner dismissed the dangerous left-handed Mayers, who was looking set for a big one.
