India captain Suresh Raina, who scored a 50-ball 43, lauded his teammates for the all-round display but said fielding needs to improve.
"The bowlers did a great job, followed by Rohit (Sharma) and Shikhar (Dhawan). The track wasn't good for batting, but we rotated the strike well," Raina said.
He added: "We can do better in the field, need to show more intensity. It's looking good at the moment, I hope we do well in the next game as well."
Rohit scored an unbeaten 68 off 75 balls while Dhawan (51 off 76) notched up his maiden half century to help India chase down the target comfortably.
Man-of-the-match Rohit said it was a tough wicket to bat on initially.
"It was quite difficult initially because the track was turning. It was important to spend some time in the middle to play our shots," he said.
"I just want to keep scoring runs and I'm happy to start the tournament on a good note. I'm very much hungry for runs," the right-hander added.
With India winning the first of the five-match ODI series, the Caribbean side's work is cut out.
India's full-strength team is not here but it looks like the hosts will have a tough time anyways, taming the young guns.
