Shai Hope’s brilliant 95-run knock and a fast cameo knock at the end of the innings from Ashley Nurse helped Windies to put a fighting total of 283/9 (50 overs) on the board against the hosts India in the third ODI of the five-match ODI series at Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium (Pune).

Leading the series by 1-0, Indian skipper Virat Kohli decided to field first after winning the toss. Once again the most of Windies top-order batting failed to provide the long innings. Only the wicketkeeper-batsman and the last ODI’s centurion, Shai Hope, again played an important role to construct the team’s innings.

In his lengthy innings, Hope had two important partnerships with the in-form Shimron Hetmyer and the skipper Jason Holder. Hope and Hetmyer had a 56-run partnership for the fourth wicket while Hope and Holder had another 76-run partnership for the sixth wicket. Hetmyer and Holder both failed to capitalise their innings as they were dismissed on 37 and 32 runs respectively, but Hope carried his innings for the long time, who completed his half-century in 72 balls.

The 24-year-old wicketkeeper-batsman just missed his second consecutive ODI century as he was bowled by Indian pacer Jasprit Bumrah on 95 runs off 113 balls (6 fours and 3 sixes). However, Windies were still battling to reach to the 250+ total and then the lower-order batsman Ashley Nurse played a cameo role of 40 runs off just 22 balls (4 fours and 2 sixes) that helped them to put a good fighting total of 283/9 in the end.
