West Indies' relatively good use of the first four overs of the PP was a combination of Mayers' intent (159.32 SR), and Pooran's fast starts throughout the series.
And although WINDIES did up the ante in the last two overs of the PP (batters usually target overs 5 & 6 to make full use of the field restrictions), they did not quite hit the heights that India did. This could be attributed to the differences in the quality of both bowling attacks. India featured Chahal, Kuldeep, Arshdeep, etc. in overs 5 & 6.
