The duo was going strong, taking on the Windies bowlers without any problem. However, West Indies got the breakthrough in the 18th over. Alzarri Joseph bowled a back-of-a-length delivery to Shubman Gill on the 4th delivery. Gill tucked it away to the right of mid-wicket and strolled across.
Usually an easy single, Gill displayed a lazy piece of running, not expecting Nicholas Pooran to collect the ball so quickly and nail a direct. The opposition skipper did just that and caught Gill short of his crease. The young Indian was dismissed after scoring 64 runs off 53 balls with 6 fours & 2 sixes.
While talking about the match, India are at 127/1 in 20 overs. Shikhar Dhawan (57*) and Shreyas Iyer (1*) are at the crease for team India, in an effort to post a huge total. Earlier, West Indies captain Nicholas Pooran won the toss & opted to field first in the 1st ODI against India. This match is being played at Queen's Park Oval, Port of Spain, Trinidad.
