India 183 for 3 (Kohli 81, Parthiv 56) beat West Indies 240 for 9 (Sarwan 56, Simmons 53, Mishra 4-31) by seven wickets (D/L method)
Virat Kohli and Parthiv Patel scored half centuries after leg spinner Amit Mishra took his career best figures to lead India to a seven-wicket win over West Indies in a rain-marred second ODI. Kohli and Patel stitched a 120-run second wicket stand as India chased a revised target of 183 from 37 overs due to rain with 20 balls to spare at the Queen's Park Oval. The West Indies had scored 240/9 in their 50 overs with Lendl Simmons (53) and Ramnaresh Sarwan (56) scoring fifties.
India, playing their first ODI series after their World Cup triumph, now leads the five-match series 2-0. Kohli cracked six fours and a six in his 103 balls and Patel played a blazing knock off 64 deliveries to put India back on track. Patel was caught behind off leg-spinner Anthony Martin in the 27th over, and Kohli was caught at long-off off leg-spinner Devendra Bishoo four overs later.
Rain halted India's march for 80 minutes but the visitors were never in a spot of problem with captain Suresh Raina (26 not out) hitting the winning runs for India. Put to bat, the West Indies had looked set for a 250 plus total when they were 192 for three at the end of the 41st over and a set Sarwan at the crease. But that was when the script went awry as four batsmen, including Sarwan, fell within five runs and the home team was left struggling at 197/7 with 38 balls remaining.
