Trinidad: Nicholas Pooran and his men slumped to their 5th consecutive defeat in the tour, on Friday, as India won the 1st T20I by 68 runs. Brian Lara stadium in Trinidad witnessed it’s highest 1st innings score as India scored 190/6 in 20 overs after being asked to bat first on a slow wicket. Rohit Sharma and Dinesh Karthik were top scorers in the innings.
While Rohit set up the platform with a 44-ball-64, it was Karthik’s calculated assault — an unbeaten 41 off 19 balls — that took India to 190 for six after being put into bat.
The last three overs of the Indian innings yielded 45 runs, which became the turning point.
Indian spinners Ravichandran Ashwin (2/22 in 4 overs), Ravindra Jadeja (1/26 in 4 overs) and Ravi Bishnoi (2/26 in 4 overs) got wickets at regular intervals to restrict the hosts at 122 for eight in 20 overs.
