India, with a lead of 183 points, declared the Test with almost four sessions to go. Brathwaite chased 365 and started well, but R Ashwin left him and backed it up with another wicket in his next over. On the fifth and final day, the equation was that Windies needed 289 runs against India, 8 wickets away from victory, but rain prevented any cricketing action. India won the first Test in Dominica to take a 1-0 lead in the two match Test series. With rain forcing a draw in the 2nd Test, the visitors win the Test series 1–0.
