IND beat WI by 8 wickets | West Indies vs India, Highlights And Cricket Score 1st ODI Match - Commentary

The star of the show and centurion Shimron Hetmyer is caught on the sidelines for an interview. He says that he is feeling good after his ton. Thanks his family and friends for their support. On the conditions, he mentions that it was good as the ball was coming on well. Reckons that he is adjusting to the balance between white and red-ball cricket. Ends by saying he is happy with the total on the board.

India will be disappointed to say the least. Their bowlers leaked plenty of runs and the fielding standards weren't up to the mark either. Barring Chahal, who took 3 wickets and was economical too, rest all went for runs despite their wickets, especially Shami. 323 isn't a target which isn't achievable, but it will really challenge the Indian batting line-up. We surely have a game on our hands here. Join us on the other side of the break for all the action.

Windies have a challenging total on the board and can give the Indians a real run for their money with this. It was largely the Shimron Hetmyer show today. Losing the debutant Hemraj early didn't dent the scoring rate as Kieran Powell and Hope kept it going. Both got dismissed in quick succession after putting on a good stand, but then Hetmyer came in and took the game away as he put up two terrific partnerships with Rovman Powell and Holder and scored a masterful ton. Some late runs added towards the end by Bishoo and Roach, useful ones of course, saw Windies reach 322 and be in a commanding position.

The players make their way out for their respective national anthems. We are moments away now...

Jason Holder, the Windies skipper says that he would have batted first. Mentions that they have an opportunity to put runs on the board. Adds saying that they are a young side as few players are missing. On his team, he says that they have handed Oshane Thomas and Chandrapaul Hemraj their debuts.

Virat Kohli, the Indian skipper says that it is a good and hard surface. Reckons that the pitch won't change much so he decides to field first. Mentions that their batting order is pretty much settled now and wants them to make big partnerships. Ends by saying that Rishabh Pant gets his debut and they are playing with 2 spinners and 3 pacers.

TOSS - Virat Kohli wins the coin toss and opts to field.

PITCH REPORT - Ian Bishop doing the pitch report mentions that there is brown grass on the surface with plenty of cracks. Sunil Gavaskar alongside him says that there will be turn for the spinners but the ball will skid as well. Adds that the pitch is hard from underneath and the cracks will open up later. Reckons that it is a bat first pitch. Ends by saying that there won't be any dew later on as the game should end before that.

You'd bank on Windies to do better in white-ball cricket. Though, they have key players missing. In the absence of people like Chris Gayle, Sunil Narine, Andre Russell and Evin Lewis, the task is going to be an uphill one. They do have some positives, however, with Shimron Hetmyer being one of them. They will have to muster all their courage, bind together and perform as a collective. Let's see how it all unfolds. The toss and other updates coming up soon...

Any games in the 50-over format will be important for all the teams now with the upcoming World Cup in 2019. India have a more or less settled batting order, barring that no.4 position, which Ambati Rayudu now seems the front runner for. They have strength in depth and will want to test that too, if they decide to rest some players, that is. They beat the Windies comprehensively in the Test series, and will want to continue further with that. Hello and welcome for what should be a better contest between these two sides.
