Holder skied one off Kuldeep to sub Manish Pandey. Good catch as it was a steepler.
100 up for WI in the 11th over
Hetmyer finally finds a fielder and Kuldeep has the last laugh after conceding two sixes
This was totally unnecessary to give a bowl to Shivam Dube. He gave a 19 runs in the 7th over

Lendl Simmons to open with Brandon King since Lewis is out injured
