At one time West Indies were looking controlling the run chase but then again the rain made the target almost impossible for West Indian batsmen. They just cannot blame the weather, they should have player much better.

I wonder if anyone expected WI to win any match of this series. WI is a T20 team. We have seen their performance in WC, we are seeing their performance in this series. Against a team like India, they do not stand a chance.

What I am hating about this series is, the rain. Whenever I try to tune the tele I see rain LOL

Rain again and they lost 4 overs of the match. Revised score is 270 from 46 overs. This is getting really boring now with rain ruining matches. I want a result so badly.

Gayle's over I guess. He wasted a review and his strike rate also was poor. Feel bad that such a good player is retiring when he is in such a bad form.

They started with a wide.

Was there was a forecast of rain before the start of the match ? If so, this is one of the best decision of kohli of choosing to bat first.
The outfield is also wet now and it may slow the outfield.

I checked the weather forecast before the match thinking i could make a bet for washout due to rain, but the weather forecast said it will be a sunny day and hence i did not wage a bet on that.

Yes, forecast was kinda favourable but could be inaccurate at times Sad

. Hope that play resumes as soon as possible otherwise it will be down to the last ODI of the series to decide the winner. Also the forecast on that day isn't good so can't say for sure that it will be down to that even.

Series rain-washed!! maybe? Tongue

West Indies lost 2 wickets and they are trying to built a partnership and the only way to reach near to the total is to play smartly without loosing much wickets and not taking much risks and if West Indies could achieve that which is highly unlikely they could win the match, want to see how they are going to approach the mid overs, if India could take some wickets and put some pressure i am sure they will crumble.

Careful and steady start from Windies's openers. they are standing strong at 45 runs, Lewis looking very good so far.

Edit

Gayle gone now, final ODI appearance for Gayle i suppose if he gets retire on his 300th ODI match today. He failed to score big run today but he's now Most run (10349) scorer for Windies

^Congo. You also had predicted England winning the WC. Did you place any bet that time?

280 is a good target if they finish the match. Rain shouldn't spoil it now.

And who knows India might still end up with 275+

As i predicted correctly, India end up with 275+ and my next prediction is that India will win this match easily

If anyone is looking for a WI win here, he is asking too much from them which is not possible.

No, it was sunny but I know why Kohli chose to bat first as it was a decision made looking at the previous match. Still they managed to continue the play. Sad for Iyer as he was playing well.

Looking forward to JJ's partnership. Jadeja please hit few sixes now.

It stopped raining now and glad they did not lose any overs. Iyer on 63 now and 6 more overs left. Would he too manage 100 runs? It would be a great chance to get 100 now. Now a 280+ target is looking good and WI will be struggling due to the weather. Kohli did right by choosing to bat first.

Edit: SS Iyer out on 71.

Kohli century and iyer 71 runs helped India to score past 250 runs in 46 overs with 5 wickets remanining. Jadeja and Jadhav are batiting and if they can stay till last bal INdia can easily make 285+ run on the board and it would be interesting to watch how and what straetgy WI adopt to chase this score .

300 is not possible and anything above 250 would be a bonus. Till now the partnership is going well 89 runs till now. Hope this also reaches 100+.

300 is totally possible thanks to the awesome partnership between Shreyas and Kohli. I always knew that Shreyas was a great ODI batsman and he proved it today by giving support to Kohli right when he needed it.

Pant disappointed me once again and I think that he might get replaced soon if he continues playing like this. 280-300 seems like the likely target for West Indies at this point.

300 not possible now because it's started raining.
Is rain coming for the reuse of West Indies again ? WI needs a wash out match because if the match resumes after sometime , West Indies will get a much stiffer target.

Still WI will be having hard time if the game resumes because normally after the rai ball will hold before coming into bat so if there is remaining play India has the better chance as well.

^Kohli is gone. Shreyas surprised me and already managed half century.

275 looks more probable but now it started drizzling which means game is ruined. I hope they still manage to put more runs on board else this second ODI also is washed away. Don't know what will happen during the test matches.

Will it be another century for Virat Kohli?
176/3 after 34.4 overs. Nice batting from the middle order after a long time. I think India will have a good score tonight, more than 300. Possible?

2 more runs to 100... Cheesy

Really, you think that Indian bowlers should defend 160 runs in the ODI

You should rethink the target score else India will lose the match. Grin

The ways things are moving, India will score above 250 and will easily win this match .

My bad. I meant 260 but now it looks tough as Rohit went for just 18 and they lost Pant too. They need to again rethink about the 4th position. Roll Eyes

Now all depends on Virat else again they will end up at 200 or max 220. They should have crossed 150 long back.

India is still going pretty good and you should know that everyday is not a 300+ plus day. India bowling line up is strong enough to protect 250. And who knows India might still end up with 275+ even the lower order batsmen play aggressively. Not to mention kholi will go devastating after completing his century.
