Just loved the way Shami bowled his second spell to get rid of Pooran and Pollard and then the sensational over from Kuldeep to pick his second #hatrick in ODIs. #INDvsWI @StarSportsIndia

Very impressive win by India. Both batting ang bowling had to click to make this possible. Some concerns about the fielding persist despite a few sterling efforts. Series headed for a rousing climax on Sunday

Our ton-up openers set the platform for a big score, and the Shreyas-Pant blitz got us there before Kuldeep and Co. rattled the Windies to claim a 107-run win! 🤩
