http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 on Friday, December 2, 2011.
The tourists had lost eight wickets for just 167 runs in 35 overs.
The hosts' skipper http://www.senore.com/Cricket/V-Sehwag-c2739 opted to field first after winning the toss, as he thought there would be some assistance for the bowlers in the first half of the match.
The decision proved to be a very good one, as the Windies' struggled when the came out to bat.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/AB-Barath-c886 opened the innings for the visitors, but were unable to start well, as the latter was sent back to the pavilion without adding a single run to the total.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Marlon-Nathaniel-Samuels-c74804 was the next man to be dismissed in the innings after scoring just four runs.
His wicket brought http://www.senore.com/Cricket/DM-Bravo-c1386 in the middle. The youngster has been in magnificent form recently, but failed to make an impression this time around, getting dismissed for 13 runs.
Just a couple of balls later, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Danza-Pacino-Hyatt-c52396 was also sent back to the pavilion after failing to open his account and the Windies were in a spot of bother with four wickets down for 55 runs on the board.
Wicketkeeper batsman http://www.senore.com/Cricket/D-Ramdin-c1299 was the next man to be dismissed after contributing just two runs to the total.
However, the innings was stabilised by opener Simmons and all-rounder http://www.senore.com/Cricket/KA-Pollard-c1754, as the pair put together 56 runs for the sixth wicket partnership. They looked comfortable in the middle and threatened to take the game away from the opposition.
Just when things started looking good for the tourists, Pollard was dismissed after adding 35 runs to the total.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Andre-Dwayne-Russell-c44235, who managed 11 runs in his short stay at the wicket.
The only hope for the team was Simmons, who brought his half-century up and batted superbly. However, he will need someone from the other end in order to bat the entire 50 overs.
India's http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Umesh-Yadav-c94625 was the pick of the bowlers, taking three wickets in the match.
