[hadi123]

I live in England. Where can I watch it? Should be an entertaining series

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

This Florida ground looks so similar to Caribbean islands.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

West Indian team looks strong in this format and they are the current T20 champions. Can we get rid of Mishra, Binny, Dhawan please?

 

[#GreenRoars]

Yes, after next WT20

 

[#GreenRoars]

Can any body tell me if Ten Cricket will be televising the match? Not possible to watch on Star Sports.

 

[Ankit007]

Its like a 200 at least pitch

 

[Ankit007]

No Gayle? wow

 

[#GreenRoars]

No Star Sports here

 

[Sandeep]

Dhawan has been dropped from T20s but he's chosen for tests. Ideally he should be nowhere the Indian team in any of the formats..

 

[Ankit007]

Can any body tell me if Ten Cricket will be televising the match? Not possible to watch on Star Sports.

no, they are not

 

[Rayyman]

Good to see cricket in the motherland! Hope it's better than that odd T20 in New York a while back.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

More subcontinental teams should play in the US.Will attract expats.

 

[Thomaskutty]

WI have a mouthwatering lineup today , can't wait !

 

[Ankit007]

Great support for India

 

[Sandeep]

No half measures.. Charles is in the business already

 

[Thomaskutty]

No Star Sports here

watch it on the net.

 

[Thomaskutty]

Half-measure shastri is back after a long while.I missed him.

 

[Sandeep]

Just add Gayle in the place of Lewis and I think this is the greatest T20 line up ever assembled! Array of power hitters right through..

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Pathetic start by shami

 

[aloo paratha]

What the hell 17 runs already?

 

[Sandeep]

Shami should stick to IPL, International cricket is not for him

 

[Indian_Supporter]

Shami should stick to IPL, International cricket is not for him

I see what u did there

 

[Adijazz1706]

Just checked the score, Shami has been destroyed, 17 off 1 over :

 

[#GreenRoars]

Great start from WIndies.

 

[street cricketer]

Lmao Windies hacks in full demolition mode.

Throwing the kitchen sink at literally everything

 

[Adijazz1706]

Whoops

 

[#GreenRoars]

Mind boggling shot from Charles )

 

[Sandeep]

WI running India ragged here.. Charles in the zone...

 

[street cricketer]

This is going to be a long day!

 

[#GreenRoars]

Charles tearing Indian bowlers into half. Whattay pure hack he is.

But in T20s, you need players like him.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

This looks like a repeat of World Cup match.

 

[#GreenRoars]

 

[street cricketer]

Records are going to be broken here folks

 

[Sandeep]

Charles and Lewis in the mood.. the worst part for India is they have Brathwaite coming at 9.. best part is this carnage is only for 20 overs

 

[Markhor]

In case UK viewers are wondering - the match is on Premier Sports.

 

[street cricketer]

Charles tearing Indian bowlers into half. Whattay pure hack he is.

But in T20s, you need players like him.

Every team needs a hack like him. Would do a great job as an opener and lower order hitter..

 

[Adijazz1706]

this could be fun folks

 

[#GreenRoars]

Now Lewis on fire

 

[Markhor]

West Indies off to an electric start. No team boasts the power hitting depth they do in T20s.

 

[street cricketer]

Charles and Lewis in the mood.. the worst part for India is they have Brathwaite coming at 9.. best part is this carnage is only for 20 overs

I think these guys might hit 300 today

 

[Sandeep]

Anything less than 230 will mean India have done a good job..

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Even Bumrah is getting a phainty here. Keep them under 200

 

[street cricketer]

 

[Sandeep]

IPL contracts are being prepared as we speak.. )

 

[#GreenRoars]

Every team needs a hack like him. Would do a great job as an opener and lower order hitter..

Yes, i dont mind such players in T20s, but our selectors dont buy this logic, nor fans.

 

[Markhor]

Geez what a clean hit - but Bumrah was asking for it.

 

[street cricketer]

This stadium has a resemblance to the Dharmasala...

 

[#GreenRoars]

Small ground, perfect batting pitch. WI should think 200+

 

[Sandeep]

Yes, i dont mind such players in T20s, but our selectors dont buy this logic, nor fans.

We need to 'have them' to select them. Not sure Pakistan or for that matter India has any of these hacks..

 

[street cricketer]

This looks like a repeat of World Cup match.

Lol that semifinal match was sedate in comparison.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Ashwin on, which means wickets on now.

 

[Sandeep]

Leg spin first up. Ashwin in test matches has no resemblance to Ashwin in T20s..

 

[street cricketer]

Ashwin bowling leg breaks

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Bumrah misfielding reminded me of that dropped catch.

 

[Sandeep]

20 ball fifty for Charles... super innings so far. No-nonsense player!

 

[#GreenRoars]

Ashwin you are not leggie yaaar.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Ashwin bowling leg breaks

Should have used Shah smiley

 

[street cricketer]

Sir will bamboozle these hacks with his spin

Edit: Never mind

 

[#GreenRoars]

Sir into attack now.

 

[Sandeep]

I now know what commentators mean when they say 'toying'.. ridiculous hitting with utmost ease..

 

[#GreenRoars]

)

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

 

[Belawal2014]

Carnageeeeee!

 

[dauntless]

Indian bowlers having some tough time there

 

[#GreenRoars]

Sir will bamboozle these hacks with his spin

Edit: Never mind

WI took your comment seriously

 

[aloo paratha]

91 in 7 overs???

 

[Sachin136]

They need big hitting like this to attract the US crowds (although I doubt there are a lot of natives watching).

 

[street cricketer]

West indies are the ultimate T20 team.

They don't even try to play single. Trying to hit six off every single ball

 

[Belawal2014]

Loool, I have PAK's game on mute to watch this one.

 

[#GreenRoars]

 

[Sandeep]

This is demolition...

 

[Saeed]

We need to score atleast 200. No way India will chase that.

 

[Sandeep]

I wonder why Charles is even trying for singles when he can hit every ball for a 6.. is there a gameplan? )

 

[#GreenRoars]

Bring Binny, am sure he will break partnership.

 

[Sandeep]

We need to score atleast 200. No way India will chase that.

India would be very happy with 200...

 

[Saeed]

100 up for us. 140 more to come.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Sir what are you doing??

 

[#GreenRoars]

Jaddu should clear dust from his glasses )

 

[Saeed]

this is so fun to watch.
