WI VS IND - 1st T20I, India tour of West Indies, 2022

No doubt, the Windies will be left hurt and disappointed, but it's the manner in which they lost (particularly against spin) and the margin of defeat will rub salt into the wounds. They have been guilty of playing poorly against spin in the recent past and, afraid, that record doesn't look like changing anytime soon. India, though, will be pleased with their efforts in all departments. Almost an ideal game on a track that wasn't really friendly. Both teams will now head to Warner Park, Basseterre in St Kitts for the next two games. The first of those will be on Monday. Same time. Do remember to join us for that. Until then, good night and goodbye from Raju Peethala, Sagar Chawla and the scoring maestro Praveen Kumar. Keep tracking this space for all the latest in cricket and enjoy your weekend. Feet up!!

Rohit Sharma | Indian skipper: We knew it's gonna be slightly tough, the shot-making wasn't easy at the start. The guys who are set need to carry on for longer and the way we finished off the first innings was a great effort. When we finished the first 10 overs, we didn't think we could get to 190. It was a great effort from the boys and great finish. There are three facets of the game which we are trying to improve. We gotta try and back the ideas about executing it with the bat. We want to try certain things and all in all I thought it was a great effort. Certain pitches will not allow you to do that and we need to assess how we go about. It is all about backing your skills and strengths. I love playing here in West Indies. Indian team always receives great support from the Indian crowd coming in from the USA and also the local crowd here, quite superb to get such support.

Nicholas Pooran | West Indies skipper: Disappointed. The players are feeling hurt, it's the first game of the series and we are looking to bounce back. 18 overs it was 150 I guess and then they took the momentum away from us, we just have to work on our discipline. The spinners did well and we have to look at some of the combinations going ahead.

Dinesh Karthik | Player of the Match: It was sticky, not an easy wicket to bat on. It's a very interesting role, you need the backing from the coach and the captain and that really helped. Important to assess the wicket and what kind of shots you need to play, and that comes with practice.

14:10 Local Time, 18:10 GMT, 23:40 IST: West Indies got off to a blazing start with Mayers mauling 'em to all corners, but Arshdeep had the last laugh despite conceding 10 off his first 2 deliveries. The promotion of Jason Holder didn't quite work for the Windies as he got knocked over by Jaddu for a 4-ball duck. It was all building up nicely around the 8th over as Windies gathered some momentum by taking 13 runs off Jadeja's second over. Things, however, changed quite quickly with Ashwin and Bishnoi ripping through the powerful middle-order. Once Odean Smith got out in the 14th over, there was hardly any intent and credit to the Indian spinners who bowled splendidly well to tie the batters down with clever change in pace and variations. Presentations will be up shortly, stay tuned...
