India, who were knocked down some pins out for 145, stood their ground and battled till the end outstandingly until Keemo Paul and Keacy Carty's ice-cool methodology offered West Indies some assistance with eating into the objective and in the long run go too far with three balls to save. That implied India lost a Youth ODI surprisingly since their quarterfinal way out of the same competition in 2014.

India's accident started with Rishabh Pant meandering outside his wrinkle, just to discover wicketkeeper Tevin Imlach flick an underarm toss back to the stumps to catch him ignorant. Imlach's match mindfulness that gave them an achievement off the fourth bundle of the morning set the tone for a ruling showcase against a batting unit high on certainty.

Anmolpreet Singh, who had done well in the two knockout diversions before the great finale fell next as he was not able get his bat off the beaten path to a rising Alzarri Joseph conveyance in the third over, as he gloved a scratch to the wicketkkeeper. At that point came a blow that finished Ishan Kishan's keep running of poor scores as he played over the line and was caught lbw, despite the fact that replays demonstrated the ball had pitched quite recently outside leg stump. At the point when Washington Sundar chipped a straightforward catch to mid-off, a top request wobble appeared to be finished at 41 for 4 in the fifteenth over.

India required a salvage demonstration, yet West Indies didn't drop their force even by an inch as Arman Jaffer discovered while heading out to the spread defender to leave Sarfaraz Khan with the unenviable errand of restoring the innings and batting through, similar to he had accomplished for most parts of the competition.

He did as such by including 37 with Mahipal Lomror, who sweetly timed two fours in his 43-ball 19. Indeed, even as a recuperation looked a sudden plausibility came yet another blow as Chemar Holder, who was gotten back for another spell, sent him back with an awaygoing conveyance that was very much pouched by Imlach behind the stumps.

Detecting the inescapable, Sarfaraz attempted to break the shackles and discovered his hitting range, sweetly timing a flick over midwicket for six.

With India giving way in piles, the error of the West Indies bowlers went unnoticed as they surrendered upwards of 23 additional items when India's innings went to a pounding cap in 45.1 overs.

Any musings of a regulation pursue was rapidly put as a second thought as India returned hard; West Indies slipping from 67 for 2 to 77 for 5 in the 29th over. The man who arranged the rebound was Mayank Dagar, the left-arm spinner, who teased the batsmen with his tender flight and float.

Shimron Hetmyer, the skipper, lobbed one to long-on, while Shamar Springer top-edged a hoick to long-off. In Dagar's next over, Jyd Goolie's endeavor to impact him down the ground wound up in a sharp got and knocked down some pins, making West Indies lose their third wicket in six overs.

Paul and Carty needed to burrow profound. That Carty had a chance to do as such was affability a respite when Sarfaraz put down a sharp risk at slip off Dagar. Be that as it may, the pair combat gradually to guarantee India's greatest danger was securely arranged.

As the innings advanced, India started to get restless as Pant neglected to clutch a dainty edge off Carty in Dagar's last over. As though to break the shackles, he was lobbed down the ground for six in the same over. Gradually, the mathematical statement came down to 24 off the last five overs.

With nine required off the last two overs, Paul's endeavored back to front hit over spread brought about him hitting one towards Avesh Khan, who put down an extreme risk even as the ball was kicking the bucket on him.

He extended a leg, beat Steven Taylor to the ball and flicked it crosswise over goalkeeper Rob Elliot and into the far corner. Next Pedro captured Rolando Aarons' go toward Daryl Janmaat and executed a fine complete in the ninth. Chelsea had a third when Costa beat Fabricio Coloccini to the ball and set up Willian to score in the seventeenth.

Terry felt the back of his leg and tottered away after a flying test with Aleksandar Mitrovic. The pair traded words soon thereafter and Terry was supplanted by Baba Rahman. However, Newcastle scarcely tried Chelsea's reshuffled safeguard as the hosts had further risks. Branislav Ivanovic had a shot blocked and Pedro lightened a shot after Jonjo Shelvey talented the ball to Costa.

Having lost Terry, it showed up Chelsea may likewise need to pull back Eden Hazard when Janmaat got the Belgian from behind. However, Hazard, on his first Premier League begin since Jan. 3, proceeded. Mitrovic was gotten by Cesc Fabregas on the edge of Chelsea's crate, yet no foul was given and Cahill obstructed Shelvey's exertion before Mitrovic let go wide crosswise over objective.

The brief whirlwind of assaulting action ahead of schedule in the second half added up to a purple patch for the guests, who soon yielded a fourth in the 59th. Taylor neglected to achieve Fabregas' ball over the top and Pedro tucked in effortlessly. "The fourth objective truly murdered us and that is the thing that can happen when you come here," McClaren said.

A fifth took after when Traore tucked in Azpilicueta's cross for his first Premier League objective in the 83rd. Peril figured out how to miss from short proximity before Townsend struck late on, terminating low into the net.
