Greaves’ Century vs Kuldeep’s Control

West Indies Openers Take Charge

After India won the toss and elected to field, Justin Greaves and John Campbell exploited the true bounce of the Greenfield pitch. Greaves smashed 12 crisp boundaries to reach his maiden ODI ton, while Campbell struck 62 off 60 balls to lay a solid foundation. Keacy Carty (13) and skipper Shai Hope (12) kept the scoreboard ticking, though India quickly tightened their lengths in the middle overs.

Kuldeep Yadav Halts the Momentum

Just as West Indies aimed for a 320+ score, Kuldeep Yadav changed the narrative. Varying his pace and flight, Kuldeep dismissed Campbell, Hope, and broke through the middle order, finishing with figures of 4 for 40. However, a late counter-attack by Amir Jangoo (58* off 43) pushed the West Indies total close to the 300-run mark.
