crucial for both the teams as they will get last time to be against each other,
before the mega event, i.e., the world cup.

Nehru Stadium at Kochi. West Indies started to bat first and it looks like that
India has to really fight back, as the opposite team has given the host a
target of 321 runs. The guests scored this much total in 50 over’s with loss of
6 wickets. West Indies was able to score this much total, as Marlon Samuels
scored unbeaten 126 runs in 116 balls. On the other end Ramdin gave a good partnership,
as both of them together posted a stand of 165 runs. Indian pacer Shami took 4
wickets. This was the highest total that is scored on this ground.
