India beat West Indies by 7 wickets via Duckworth–Lewis method

By Ashish Shukla
Port of Spain, Jun 9 (PTI) India produced a disciplined
allround performance to register a convincing seven-wicket win
over the West Indies in a rain-affected second One-day
International and take a 2-0 lead in the five-match series
here.
Virat Kohli (81) played a stellar hand, first partnering
opener Parthiv Patel (56) for 120-run second wicket stand and
then withstanding a little tremor induced by the rain breaks.
Chasing a target of 241, India were 100 for one in 22
overs when a sharp passing shower made the square unfit to
play for 85 minutes.
The rain break reduced the visitors' innings to 37 overs
and the target was revised to 183, implying they needed 83
runs from 90 deliveries. And India achieved it comfortably in
33.4 overs.
Earlier, India restricted the hosts to 240 for nine after
skipper Suresh Raina won the toss and elected to field at the
Queen's Park Oval.
Amit Mishra (4/31) and Munaf Patel (3/35) struck in the
late moments to stop the run flow and trigger a collapse after
the Windies got off to a good start.
For the hosts, Ramnaresh Sarwan (56) and Lendl Simmons
(53) cracked individual half-centuries up the order but their
middle-order crumbled, slipping from 175 for three in 34 overs
to 229 for nine in 48.5 overs.
