India chose to field after winning the toss, but Hope finished with 102 from 50 deliveries, hitting nine sixes and four fours. Sherfane Rutherford remained unbeaten on 49 from 26 balls, with four fours and three sixes. The pair added 91 after Rovman Powell's dismissal left West Indies on 156 for three in the 13th over, taking the total to 247 without another wicket falling.

There were also contributions from Jewel Andrew, who scored 21, and Shimron Hetmyer, whose 33 came from just 12 deliveries. Powell added 24 before being caught by Sanju Samson off Arshdeep Singh. Axar Patel and Prince Yadav took the other two wickets. Prince's four overs cost 36 runs, while both Arshdeep and Mayank Yadav conceded 52 from their four-over spells.

Samson gave India's pursuit early impetus with 56 from 23 balls, including six fours and four sixes. Paul dismissed him with the score at 60 in the fifth over and removed Ishan Kishan later in the same over. Shreyas Iyer made 16 before falling to Shamar Springer, while Abhishek Sharma's 29 ended when Gudakesh Motie had him caught by Springer.

Motie then dismissed Naman Dhir for a first-ball duck, leaving India 130 for five. Tilak Varma and Nitish Kumar Reddy added 70 before Romario Shepherd removed Tilak for 43 from 25 balls. Nitish scored 41 from 20, striking four sixes, but became one of three wickets Paul took in the 19th over, alongside Prince and Axar.

Paul finished with five for 41 from four overs, while Motie returned two for 13 from two. The BBC scorecard lists Arshdeep as retired hurt on five and Mayank unbeaten without scoring when India's innings ended. It gives no further details about Arshdeep's condition.
