15-Apr-2017
At Basseterre, St Kitts, July 14-16, 2016 (not first-class).Drawn.‡West Indies Cricket Board President's XI 180 (62.5 overs) (R. Ashwin 3-62, R. A. Jadeja 3-16) and 223-6 (86 overs) (J. Blackwood 51; R. Ashwin 3-59); Indians 364 (105.4 overs) (K. L. Rahul 64, V. Kohli 51, R. A.Jadeja 56; R. R. S. Cornwall 5-118).
Both sides chose from 13 players. After the Indian spinners demolished the President's XI for 180, almost all their batsmen contributed - everyone made double figures except Shikhar Dhawan, who was out for nine. Rahkeem Cornwall, a well-built off-spinner from Antigua, took five wickets. The President's XI had to bat out the last day to draw - and did soon a sluggish pitch, with Jermaine Blackwood surviving for three hours, and Vishaul Singh and Montcin Hodge for almost two apiece.
