Courtesy of a brilliant start from skipper Virat Kohli (39) and Shikhar Dhawan (23), India posted a competitive total of 190 for six in 20 overs in the one-off T20 match at Sabina Park in Kingston, Jamaica. West Indies came back in the game with two quick wickets (Kohli and Dhawan) in the same over to curb the flow of runs. However, Rishabh Pant (38) and Dinesh Karthik (48) steadied the ship and built a 50-run partnership. India would want to take early wickets in the game and put West Indies on the back-foot.
