Delhi: The first innings of the visiting team was reduced to just 162 runs in 44.1 overs on the first day of the first match of the first match of the two matches released between India and West Indies at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. The West Indies won the toss and decided to bat first, but their innings stumbled in front of the Indian bowlers.

Bumrah’s dominance

Indian fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah put the initial shock and put the visiting team under pressure. Bumrah took a total of 3 wickets for 42 runs in his 14 overs. The special thing is that his two wickets (Justin Greaves and Johan Leyne) came on brilliant yorker balls. Although he could not complete his five wickets, his sharp bowling pushed the West Indies to the backfoot.

Siraj’s deadly bowling

Mohammad Siraj also bowled amazing and did not give any chance to the opposition batsmen to freeze. He sent Tejnarayan Chandrapaul (0), Elik Ethanaz (12), Brandon King (13) and captain Roston Chase (24) to the pavilion. Siraj took 4 wickets for 40 runs in his 14 -overs spell and intensified Indian bowling.

Contribution of spinners

Apart from fast bowlers, the spin department also performed brilliantly. Kuldeep Yadav took 2 wickets, while Washington Sundar got 1 success.

West Indies batting flop

Justin Greaves was the highest run -scorer for West Indies. He scored 32 runs off 48 balls. Captain Roston Chase contributed 24 and Shai Hope contributed 26 runs. Apart from these, no batsman could play by ticking and the entire team collapsed for 162 runs.

West Indies batting proved to be extremely weak in front of the Indian bowling attack and the visiting team collapsed in the first innings.
