Barbados, Jul 29 (PTI) West Indies pacers pegged back India with the short-ball tactic as the visitors were left struggling at 113 for 5 when rain stopped play after 24.1 overs in the second ODI here on Saturday.
India are playing the match without regular skipper Rohit Sharma and main batter Virat Kohli.
Opener Ishan Kishan scored his second half-century of this series with a run-a-ball 55 and added 90 runs for the opening stand with Shubman Gill (34) before Indian batting imploded, losing five wickets for 23 runs in the next 6.2 overs.
Sanju Samson (9 off 19 balls) and Axar Patel (1) wasted a golden opportunity while stand-in captain Hardik Pandya (7) also flattered to deceive.
Romario Shepherd (2/17) and Jayden Seals (1/21) were impressive with their brisk spell and used bouncers effectively while leg-spinner Yannic Cariah and left-armer Gudakesh Motie were also effective with a scalp each.
Brief Scores: India 113/5 in 24.1 overs (Ishan Kishan 55, Shubman Gill 34, Romario Shepherd 2/17) vs West Indies.
