India scored a comfortable 16-run win over the West Indies in the one-off Twenty20 cricket international to begin their Caribbean tour on a resounding note at Port of Spain yesterday. It is India’s first win over the West Indies in T20 format as they had lost the previous two encounters at Lord’s and Kensington Oval.
After being invited to bat on a tricky Sabina Park Oval strip, India recovered from a top-order collapse to post a competitive 159 for six and then restricted the hosts to 143 for five.
