The middle order, led by Justin Greaves (32), Roston Chase (24), and Shai Hope (26), offered some resistance, but the Indian bowling attack proved too strong.

Spinner Kuldeep Yadav snared two wickets while Washington Sundar accounted for one batter.

Brief scores:

West Indies 162 all out in 44.1 overs (Justin Greaves 32, Shai Hope 26; Mohammed Siraj 4/40).
