India delivered a dominant batting performance, completing the second highest successful chase in ODI history with ease, cruising home with eight wickets and more than six overs to spare. Captain Shubman Gill scored a remarkable double century, while Rohit Sharma contributed with a century of his own. Shubman Gill played a crucial role in leading the team to victory, helping India establish a 2-0 lead in the series. The West Indies bowlers struggled throughout the match and could not break the partnership between Shubman Gill and Rohit Sharma. Although Rohit's dismissal brought a brief sense of relief for the visitors, it didn't last long, as Gill continued to attack the bowlers relentlessly, sending the ball all around the ground. Shubman Gill is the Player of the Match.

Gurnoor Brar to Shamar Joseph. Short, down leg side on the back foot pulling, missed for no runs, fielded by Rahul. That's the end of the first innings.
