Twitter Reactions: India Inch Closer Towards A Series Win
Dec 31, 2018 at 2:03 PM
West Indies produced yet another dismal performance today as they were all out for just 189/9 after electing to bat first at North Sound, Antigua. The Windies batting order was once against faulty of inconsistency.
They had a decent start. The cautious approach of the openers worked to a great extent as Evin Lewis and Kyle Hope added 57 in 17.2 overs for the first wicket. But, once again the inability to learn from the past mistakes was visible as both them wasted their starts and threw away their wicket.
Medium pacer Pandya provided the first breakthrough after Hope played a rash shot which took a top edge and went straight into the hands of Kedar Jadhav. Kuldeep Yadav, the emerging Chinaman, then began to spread his magic as Lewis was caught at the midwicket region after a few overs.
Shai Hope and Roston Chase then forged a small 41 runs stand between them which took the team total past the 100 runs mark. But, the duo also could not survive for long and wasted their starts as well.
Chase had reached 24 from 24 deliveries when he was foxed by a wrong’un from Kuldeep. Pandya then chipped in with another wicket snapping Shai Hope. Holder along with Jason Mohammad tried to hold things together but that was just for a brief time. Umesh Yadav, who had the silent game, got his first dismissal of the day when Holder edged one behind to Dhoni. The tail-ender did not show any miraculous resistance and the innings was soon wrapped off in no time.
Umesh Yadav added two more wickets – Rovman Powell and Ashely Nurse – to his tally before the quota of 50 over came to an end
West Indies are already trailing 2-0 after 3 matches in the 5-matches series. And, after such a poor batting performance, it is very unlikely that they would be able to stop India from pocketing the series.
Today is the day when Women in Blue got more TRPs than the Men in Blue. Most of India tuned into #INDvPAK rather than #INDvWI !

It's really sad to see that Windies team has fallen to such a low. There was a time they use to rule cricket. #INDvWI

This #INDvWI series has turned out to be a damp squib. Completely one-sided matches. Pretty disappointing.

Flight is the essence of spin bowling, black magicians Ashwin&Jadeja should learn this from "Kuldeep Yadav".
