Campbell struck 62 from 60 balls, while Greaves went on to make 101 from 108. The pair gave West Indies a strong platform after they reached 85 in the opening powerplay.
The game changed when Kuldeep Yadav broke the opening stand in the 20th over. The left-arm wrist-spinner finished with 4/40 from 10 overs and helped India pull West Indies back from a strong position.

Gill completed his century from 108 balls before falling to Roston Chase at 225.
Kohli continued without giving West Indies another opening. He reached his century from 74 balls and remained unbeaten on 139 from 88 balls. His innings included 10 fours and nine sixes. Ruturaj Gaikwad joined him after Gill’s dismissal, and India reached 300/2 in 41.4 overs.
