Opening
the
innings
with
Kyle
Mayers,
the
duo
set
the
tone
of
the
match
as
they
put
up
the
first
50+
partnership
for
Windies
in
8
innings.
Mayers
(39)
and
Hope
put
up
65
off

for
the
opening
stand
to
hand
Windies
a
strong
start.

Despite
losing
two
quick
wickets
in
the
middle,
opener
Hope
and
skipper
Nicholas
Pooran
put
the
hosts
back
on
track.
Pooran
played
an
important
knock
as
he
brought
up
his
half-century
off
60
deliveries
as
Windies
looked
set
for
a
big
total.
Hope’s
125-ball
115,
saw
Windies
put
up
a
strong
total
of
311
for

In
reply,

to
a
slow
but
steady
start.
While
skipper
Dhawan
played
second
fiddle,
opener
Shubman
Gill
scored
the
bulk
of
the
runs
in
the
opening
stand.
Dhawan,
who
was
the
player
of
the
match
in
the
previous
match,
was
put
out
of
his
misery
by
Romario
Shepherd
after
a
31-ball
13
knock.

After
taking
Dhawan’s
catch,
Kyle
Mayers
removed
Gill
as

66/2
in

came
back
to

partnership.
Just
as

duo
threatened
to
take
the
game
away,
Alzarri
Joseph
handed
Windies
the
breakthrough
removing
Iyer
(63
off
71).

Samson
kept
the
scoreboard
ticking
as
he
brought
up
his
maiden
ODI
half-century
off
47
deliveries.
A
run
out
at
the
bowler’s
end
saw
Samson
lose
his
wicket
as
India’s
troubles
deepened.

Axar
Patel
and
Deepak
Hooda
came
to
India’s
rescue
as
the
pair
added
51
off
just
33
for
the
sixth
wicket
to
lift
India
out
of
the
woods.

pair
kept

on
course
before

maiden
ODI
half-century
as

played
a
crucial
knock
for
India.

cameo
saw

snatch
victory
from
the
hosts
and
clinch
the
series
2-0.

joined
an
elite
club
as
he
scored
a
solid
century
in
his
100th
ODI.
Hope’s
ton
and
skipper’s
Nicholas
Pooran’s
half-century
saw
Windies
put
up
a
stiff
target.

Here
are
the
post-match
comments
and
awards
of
the
2nd
ODI:

Player
of
the
Match:
Axar
Patel
(IND)
for
1
for
40
and
64
not
out
(35)

Shikhar
Dhawan,
Winning
Captain:
I
feel
it
was
a
great
a
team
performance.
We
made
mistakes,
we
took
the
challenge
and
we
had
self-belief.
I
was
also
surprised.
Hats
off
to
our
middle
order.
All
the
batters
were
amazing,
Axar
and
Avesh,
who
got
those
boundaries,
were
amazing.
Our
domestic
and
IPL
cricket
keeps
us
ready
as
we
play
in
front
of
big
crowds.
As
Axar
said,
he’s
done
it
multiple
times
in
IPL.
That
brings
a
big
stage.
At
the
halfway
stage,
we
felt
we
pulled
them.
We
got
a
couple
of
wickets,
then
Hope
and
Pooran
took
off.
We
thought
we
can
do
it
if
they
can.
We
started
slowly,
I
thought
we
can
take
off
against
left
arm
spin.
I
got
out,
Shreyas
and
Sanju
played
well.
There
was
a
silly
mistake
with
the
run
out.
But
the
way
Axar
played
was
amazing.
Our
support
staff
has
been
excellent.
(On
Hope)
It
was
great
when
I
scored
a
100
on
my
100th
match.
Congrats
to
Hope
on
doing
it,
he’s
a
quality
player.
He’s
got
a
bright
present
and
future
with
West
Indies.

Nicholas
Pooran,
Losing
Captain:
We
lost
it
in
the
last
overs,
Axar
played
well
and
we
didn’t
hold
our
nerves.
We
could
not
keep
things
down
in
the
last
five
overs.
We
felt
that
it
got
easier
to
hit
spinners.
And
we
gambled
with
Akeal
bowling
against
left
handers.
One
wicket
would
have
opened
up
things
but
Axar
played
brilliantly.
Hope’s
innings
was
impressive,
it
was
exceptional
as
a
batting
group.
We
wanna
win,
we
wanna
win
pretty
bad
in
the
next
game.
That’s
all
we
are
aiming
for.

Axar
Patel,
Player
of
the
Match:
It’s
very
special,
to
get
it
in
a
crucial,
series-winning
cause
is
amazing.
When
I
went
out,
I
aimed
for
10-11
an
over.
We
thought
it
could
be
done
as
we
have
IPL
experience.
We
wanted
to
be
calm
and
keep
cover
of
the
rate.
This
was
special
as
this
is
my
first
ODI
since
2017,
even
my
first
fifty
came
here.
Winning
the
series
too
makes
me
feel
wonderful.
