Despite a spirited chase by the West Indies, spearheaded by Dwayne Smith’s 79 and William Perkins’ 52, India’s bowlers, particularly Stuart Binny (3 wickets) and Pawan Negi (2 wickets), successfully defended the total. Lendl Simmons’ explosive 38 off 13 balls highlighted the West Indies’ late fightback.
