Cricket tends to surprise when you least expect from it. Ever since the last two games, the notion of Windies being terrible competitors has been doing the rounds. Sounds like a wake-up call as they did snatch an enthralling victory in what was a low scoring game.
As for India, they had the same batting problems. A rare top order failure followed by some really terrible batting by the middle and lower order. MS Dhoni batted with a questionable approach and again gave impetus to the point that he was no longer the finisher he used to be.
The toss was won by the Windies who elected to bat first. For the starters, it seemed India made the right decision to drop Yuvraj Singh after repeated failures. However, bringing in Dinesh Karthik instead of him wasn’t a great move. Rather than testing and trying, it was better if the management showed resilience on a young Rishabh Pant.
The Windies top order got starts but failed to convert it into anything big. In what was a slow pitch, they ended their quota of 50 overs with just 189 runs on the board. Openers Evin Lewis and Kyle Hope were the top scorers with both scoring 35 each.
Kuldeep Yadav delivered yet another splendid performance with the ball. Umesh Yadav and Hardik Pandya were the pick of the bowlers with three wickets each. Mohammed Shami who played his first One Day International after more than 2 years was impressive as well.
As of the Indian batting, Ajinkya Rahane continued to display his tremendous form with the bat. The likes of Virat Kohli and Shikhar Dhawan failed to do any magic with the bat. Even Dinesh Karthik failed to make good use of this opportunity.
MS Dhoni played a really slow inning as he waited to cash in at the end. In the process, he also registered his slowest half-century ever. However, his ploy failed terribly as he was dismissed on 54(114) [you read that right]. India fell short by 11 runs as they were all out for 178 runs.
Jason Holder was right adjudged the man of the match for his five wicket haul. Leaving Roston Chase, every other Windies bowler got a wicket. The little crowd that turned out for the game rejoiced their team’s victory over India as you could see smiles all around in the Caribbean camp. The action now shifts to Thursday as both teams meet for one final game.
Here are some of the amazing Twitter reactions during the course of the game.

Acc To Self-Proclaimed Cricket Experts, #Dhoni 54(114) Is Responsible For Loss, While 3 Top Order Batsmen Who Scored 10(38) Are Not? #INDvWI pic.twitter.com/MW3isY4XMp

I thought MS Dhoni retired from Test cricket and then I saw him play against West Indies last night. Retired? Seriously? #wivind

That was one of the ugliest chase of an easy total by one of the best batting sides in limited overs format. #INDvWI #WIvIND

Need 19 runs from 18 balls with 4 wkts, MSD & Jadeja batting — still lost.
Now they can stop mocking us about that WT20 incident ?#IndvsWI— maac pro (@maacpiash) July 2, 2017
Dhoni scores slowest 50 by an Indian in 16 years. Instead of being old wine, he had old veins in this match

From denying Rayudu the strike to letting Kuldeep bat in last two over, Dhoni has changed. #IndvsWI

Ajinkya Rahane makes most of these opportunities as he crosses the fifty for fourth consecutive time..
— Broken Cricket (@BrokenCricket) July 2, 2017
If opportunity is mirror than Ajinkya Rahane & Dinesh Karthik are opposites.
Kudos for another 50 Mr. Rahane !!#INDvWI #WIvsIND
— Boring… (@graphicalcomic) July 2, 2017
Ajinkya Rahane is now the 3rd Indian after Sachin Tendulkar & Manoj Prabakhar to score fifties as opener in 4 consecutive ODI inns. #WIvIND
