Bangalore: Powered by Jonathan Carter’s brilliant all-round show, West Indies A comfortably defeated India A by 55 runs in the second unofficial ODI here on Tuesday.
The 25-year-old left-hand batsman Carter smashed his way to a breathtaking 133 off 132 balls to help West Indies reach a fighting total of 279 for six. In reply, India were all out for 224 in 48.4 overs with Carter grabbing two for 33 in 6.4 overs with his right-arm seam bowling.
Miguel Cummins also impressed with figures of 4/31 in 10 overs.
Skipper Yuvraj Singh again top-scored with 40 (58 balls, 3×4, 1×6) but once he was dismissed by left-arm spinner Nikita Miller in the 28th over, the writing was on the wall.
The last in the series of three one-day matches will be held on September 19, also in Bangalore. (PTI)
