India wins the match against West Indies in 1st ODI at Kingston by 20 runs. Yuvraj Singh hit a rollicking 131-run knock as India pipped West Indies by 20 runs in the thrilling first cricket One-Day International to take a 1-0 lead in the four-match series on Friday.

India which had won the toss selected to bat first and posted a huge total of 339-6, thanks to the brilliant effort made by Yuvraj Singh 131 runs from 102 balls which includes 7×6′s with Dinesh Karthik (67) adding useful early runs. India struggled a bit in the early overs but Yuvraj joined Dinesh Karthik to rebuild the innings from 32 for 2. Leaving behind their pathetic show in the Twenty20 World Cup, Indian batsmen came firing on all cylinders as they trampled the West Indies attack.

In reply, West Indies start was quite well but Chris Gayle, Runako Morton and Ramnaresh Sarwan failed to pass 50. Shivnarine Chanderpaul (67) gave hope but wickets fell regularly and the home side were all out with 11 balls to go. West Indies required 21 off the last two overs with one wicket in hand but Ashish Nehra removed Ramdin in the first ball of the 49th over to bring a huge relief for his side.
