After winning the toss, West Indies chose to bat first on a pitch that offered uneven bounce and little pace. While runs were hard to come by, Ridley Jacobs Campbell continued his fine form with his second fifty in two days, anchoring the innings. Brian Lara, the only other batsman to cross 30, later remarked that 190 would be a competitive total — a prediction that proved spot on. India’s reply unravelled almost immediately. Both new openers were dismissed in the second over, setting the tone for a disastrous chase. Sharp bowling and relentless accuracy reduced India to a shocking 43/7 shortly after the halfway stage, with the batting lineup completely exposed by the conditions. Only Nayan Mongia Chopra and Sunil Joshi offered resistance, putting together a face-saving partnership that carried India past the 100-run mark and avoided the embarrassment of slipping below their lowest ODI total of 63, recorded against Australia in 1980–81. The fightback was brief. The final three wickets fell in as many overs, sealing a dominant West Indian victory. Courtney Walsh and Pedro Collins Dillon were outstanding, bowling with extreme control. Dillon, in particular, was miserly, conceding just one run per over, while Walsh’s experience and discipline ensured there was no escape for the Indian tail. A low-scoring encounter decided by precision bowling and smart assessment of conditions, this Toronto ODI remains a classic example of how pressure and pitch can dismantle even strong batting lineups. #indvswi #cricketmax #highlights #thriller
