Why did West Indies chase 250 against India?

West Indies chased 250 against India after Roston Chase's spell and a dropped catch undermined the hosts' total.

West Indies chased down India's 249 for five, winning by six wickets after Shai Hope stayed unbeaten on 102 and Sherfane Rutherford made 84.

Gautam Gambhir said Roston Chase's spell that slowed India's middle order and a dropped catch that let Rutherford off proved decisive. Mayank Yadav took three wickets in the powerplay, but the rest of the attack leaked runs once the middle overs began.

The loss leaves the five-match series level at 1-1. Gambhir added that India must find a way to defend totals against aggressive sides, noting that dew reduced the margin for error on a flat pitch.
