Karthik made scoring look easy on a slow and "sticky" wicket, smashing an unbeaten 41 off just 19 deliveries at a strike rate of nearly 213 as India amassed 190/6 in 20 overs in the opening T20I of the five-match series against the West Indies at the Brian Lara Stadium on Friday evening. India then defeated the hosts by 68 runs to take a 1-0 lead.
