A good game for India in the field as all the bowlers did well. Washington Sundar was a bit expensive at the start but finished well by getting the big wicket of Odean Smith. The captaincy from Rohit Sharma was also quite good as he rotated the bowlers well. They kept giving him wickets at the right point and India were never really in big trouble. Rohit Sharma must be commended for the way he marshaled his troops and handled his bowling resources. Prasidh Krishna was the pick of the bowlers with his 4 wickets while the rest of the bowlers had a good game too.

Shamarh Brooks did put on a 41-run stand with Akeal Hosein but when it was broken, the game looked done. But the stand between Fabian Allen and Akeal Hosein gave West Indies hope. The pair added 42 runs and there were few nerves in the Indian camp when they were batting. Right then Mohammed Siraj took his first wicket to break the stand and Shardul Thakur got a wicket in the next over to send back both the set batters. Odean Smith then got a few boundaries and kept the chase alive but he never really looked very threatening and India had enough quality in their ranks to seal the game.

West Indies needed a good start if they were to chase this down. The opening stand between Brandon King and Shai Hope looked good for a while before they were separated in the 8th over. After that, the middle order of West Indies put on another sorry show. It was only Shamarh Brooks who looked in good touch in the middle. The Indian bowlers were breathing fire with Prasidh Krishna struck thrice to rock the middle order of the West Indies.

A victory for India and they have sealed the 3-match series! They did not have the biggest of totals but bowled really well to defend it. A sweet victory but it will be a tough loss for West Indies. They had done really well with the ball but could not back it up with the bat.

OUT! LBW! Prasidh Krishna gets the last wicket and India seal the series as they go 2-0 up. A length ball, straight on middle. Kemar Roach shuffles and looks to flick but misses and gets hit on the pads. An appeal and up goes the finger. India win by 44 runs.

A slower full ball, on middle. Blocked out.

Shorter, on the body. Kemar Roach looks to evade but gets hit on the arm.

Full, on off. Blocked back to the bowler.

On a length, on off. Roach works it to point.

Slower yorker, outside off. Blocked out.

In ODIs in India, this is the first time 12 different bowlers have picked up at least one wicket in a match.

Kemar Roach is the last batter. Also, Prasidh Krishna is back.
