India vs West Indies 1st ODI – Live Cricket Score, Commentary – August 8, 2019

Over 13. 4 runs. Bowler: Khaleel Ahmed. West Indies: 1-54(rr 4.15)

Khaleel Ahmed to Shai Hope. Back of a length, to leg on the back foot driving, to backward point for no runs, fielded by Jadeja. This is very frustrating, the rain is back once again and the covers come on. Evin Lewis got things going for the hosts with a trio of swatted maximums, however Chris Gayle was deceived by a loopy Kuldeep Yadav delivery and dragged one onto his stumps to boost the tourists. Fingers crossed this rain doesn't last too long. Bad news I'm afraid, rain is the only winner in Guyana today as the First ODI between West Indies and India ends with no result. The showers were too heavy and too persistent leaving us unable to squeeze in even a 20 over contest. The appetite has been whet for the rest of the series though, with 13 overs of intriguing cricket including some lusty blows from Evin Lewis and wily wrist spin from Kuldeep Yadav. We will try again in Trinidad on Sunday.

OUT! Bowled. Kuldeep Yadav to Chris Gayle. Left-Arm Leg Spin length ball, off stump on the front foot driving, inside edge to. Dragged on, groans ring out around the stadium from both sets of fans because they were desperate to see the big man hit some lusty blows today. Gayle never really got going so was looking to smash this into orbit to kickstart his innings. His foot was nowhere near the pitch of the ball and the inside edge caused the ball to just tickle leg stump. Big moment for the tourists.
