India win first Test in West Indies in 26 years

Port of Spain, April 23. With fortunes fluctuating constantly, India got the better of West Indies in a battle of nerves on the tense fifth and final day of the second cricket Test here today to record their first victory in the Caribbean in 26 years.

It was a see-saw battle in which India emerged the victor by 37 runs to go 1-0 up in the five-match series after West Indies faltered in their chase of 313 runs and were out for 275 in their second innings. (The last man to be dismissed was Cuffy who was caught in the slips off Zaheer Khan. Chanderpaul was not out on 67).

It was just the third victory for the Indians on the West Indian soil and all three have come at this venue, the Queen's Park Oval.
