Not much can be done when the required run rate is more than 12 runs per over. And West Indies had the worst start that any one could imagine. They were 3/17 after 3.1 overs, with Brandon King, Lendl Simmons and Nicholas Pooran back at the pavillion. And that was when Kieron Pollard joined Shimron Hetmyer at the crease and stabilized the innings.
It was an impossible task to start and West Indies does not have their best team in this format and even if they had the best team it is not an easy task to chase 241 runs but Kieron Pollard and Shimron Hetmyer played a really good innings and it was evident that they will struggle under pressure to keep up the run rate and after that partnership they kept on loosing wickets trying to increase the run rate, the Indian top order played really well to get to a score like this and Shami bowled really well and glad to see him in the team in the decider.
