Earlier West Indies skipper Kieron Pollard had won the toss and invited India to bat first. Shreyas Iyer and Rishabh Pant hit crucial fifties as India’s middle order came to the fore to post 287 for 8 in 50 overs after the Men in Blue were reduced to 80/3

Shreyas Iyer scored 70(88 Balls 4x5 and 6x1)

Rishabh Pant scored 71(69 Balls 4x and 6x1)

The duo shared a 114-run partnership for the 4th wicket to help India recover from the top-order collapse and post a challenging total.

This was Shreyas Iyer’s third successive fifty while Risabh Pant struck his maiden half-century.

The two teams meet next at Visakhapatnam for the second ODI on Wednesday
