After drawing the first two-day warm-up match against the West Indies Board President’s XI last week, India faced the same opposition in a three-day fixture as they prepared for the four-Test match series against West Indies. India rested fast bowlers Ishant Sharma, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, and Umesh Yadav for the game as the team gave Shardul Thakur and Stuart Binny an opportunity.

Leon Johnson, captain of the West Indies Board President’s XI, won the toss in the morning and decided to bat first against the Indians. Mumbai pacer Shardul Thakur struck first to dismiss the opposition skipper in the eighth over. Spinners then came to the picture with R Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, and Amit Mishra troubling the batsmen. Ashwin struck to remove John Campbell for 34, while Stuart Binny removed the centurion from the last game, Shai Hope, before lunch.

Jadeja took three wickets in the second session to leave the hosts reeling at 119/6. The tailenders gave India some trouble, but Ashwin and Mishra wrapped up the innings for 180 by taking the last four wickets.
