Axar Patel’s maiden ODI fifty, a scorching 64* off 35 – laced with 3 fours and 5 sixes – helped India get over the line in a run-fest at Queen’s Park Oval in Port of Spain, Trinidad. India gunned down 312 with two deliveries to spare.
Opting to bat, West Indies posted a stiff total thanks to Shai Hope’s 115 in his 100th ODI appearance, along with skipper Nicholas Pooran’s equally important 74. India were wobbling at 79/3 in reply before Shreyas Iyer and Sanju Samson stabilized the innings with half-centuries. But Axar’s terrific knock helped India accomplish the task with two wickets in hand as they registered a record 12th consecutive bilateral series win against the West Indies by managing the third highest successful chase in the Caribbean.
