Following the swift dismissal of Brandon King, Hope and Captain Nicholas Pooran held on for 117 runs (74). In the final 10 overs, Indian pacer Shardul Thakur limited the run flow somewhat and claimed three wickets, but the Windies had amassed a substantial total. With a final score of 3/54, Thakur was India’s top bowler.
