Gary Kirsten, India’s coach, has credited India’s innings not being affected as much as by inclement weather as crucial to taking a series lead. West Indies innings began two hours late and was interrupted thrice due to rain, and further intervals initially readjusted India’s target to 195 in 27 overs before a further shower reduced it to 159 in 22 overs. In the end, thanks to MS Dhoni’s unbeaten hand, India won in the final over with six wickets in hand.
“It definitely helps a team batting second in this type of set up,” said Kirsten. “It did suit us to be batting second because you can dictate the game a little better when the overs are shortening in terms of what you need.”
