India vs Windies 2018, 1st T20I: Unnoticed things from the match

#2 Windies’ lowest T20I score against India

The Windies batting seems to have faded away from the time they won the third ODI in Pune. In the fourth ODI, they were bowled out for 153 chasing a mammoth 378. However, in the fifth ODI at Trivandrum, they batted first and were shot out for a mere 104. That was their lowest ODI score against India.

Three days later, they have now registered their lowest T20I score against India. None of the batsmen showed any sort of intent of taking the team to a good score. Every batsman came in and struggled to get going. Barring Fabien Allen (batting at No. 8) who came in and top-scored with 27 in 20 balls, none of the batsmen went past the 20-run mark.

Windies were 87/8 and were in danger of being bowled out inside 100, but an unbroken 22-run stand between Fabian Allen and Khary Pierre propelled the visitors to 109. However, this 109 is also Windies’ fourth lowest score in T20Is batting first.
