VISAKHAPATNAM, India – Inept batting, costly missed chances and loose bowling all combined to send West Indies slumping to their second straight loss in the five-match One-Day series against India yesterday.
Sent in at the ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium, West Indies were reduced to 170 for nine in the 36th over before Ravi Rampaul’s pulsating, unbeaten 86 and Lendl Simmons’ 78 propelled them to 269 for nine off their 50 overs.
Stroke-maker Virat Kohli then benefited from two chances en route to a superb 117, his eighth One-Day century, as India completed a five-wicket victory with 11 balls to spare.
His 163-run, fourth-wicket stand with Rohit Sharma, who got an unbeaten 90, killed off any chances the Windies had of winning the encounter. (CMC)
