WI eye quick turnaround after 'bittersweet' loss

'Bittersweet' is how Nicholas Pooran defined the end result of the primary ODI towards India on Friday (July 22). Pooran has been quite vocal these days over West Indies' struggles in the ODI layout. They have gained most effective one out in their closing six series in 50-overs cricket and that is certainly an alarming sign. Their most latest assignment turned into at domestic to Bangladesh a few days ago - a series that they lost three-0. However, towards India on Friday, the home facet managed to eventually positioned up a fight that saw them nearly clinch a thriller. Pooran has been calling on his batters to step up inside the format in order to reverse West Indies' fortunes and that is exactly what his troops managed to do in pursuit of 309. No surprise the loss felt like a win for Pooran as he now hopes to construct on from that performance. They don't have a variety of restoration time though and will have to show matters round quick if they may be to hold the series alive. Their bowlers did a splendid task as nicely at the again cease of the innings as India scored simplest eighty three off the final 15 no matter having 8 wickets in hand. If they are able to now manage to make early inroads, their probabilities of forcing a series decider will increase in addition. It may not be easy though given how fluent Shikhar Dhawan and Shubman Gill were in that opening stand. Shreyas Iyer, no matter scoring a fifty, struggled at the begin towards the pacers and it's some thing to keep an eye fixed on. India have given Sanju Samson a lifeline inside the format and picked him beforehand of Ishan Kishan in a reasonably new position at wide variety five. Even although Samson failed to electrify, assume the management to stick with him for the next two games as properly. In the absence of the likes of KL Rahul, Hardik Pandya and Ravindra Jadeja, the trio of Samson, Deepak Hooda and Axar Patel may be hoping to electrify. "As a set we're rebuilding and seeking to determine out ODI cricket and arising towards the top groups within the world. Today, we did justice to our skills and yeah and just searching forward to the opposite video games. Hopefully, we are able to cross from power to power." - Nicholas Pooran is hopeful of WI enhancing in addition going in advance
