That is it then from this game and for the first time since 2016, West Indies have beaten India in back-to-back T20I matches. Right then, two down, three more to go and the third T20I will be played at the same ground, the Providence Stadium in Guyana on Tuesday, the 8th of August. The action will begin at 8 pm IST (2.30 pm GMT) but you can join us for the build-up a lot earlier. Cheers!
Rovman Powell, the skipper of West Indies informs that they are really in a good position. Says that it was always going to come down to how they bat against the spinners. Feels that they did great in the middle overs but lost their way by the end. States that left-handers have an advantage against wrist spinners and he is glad they have two great players in that role - Nicholas Pooran and Shimron Hetmyer and it's just that at least one of them has to play enough deliveries. Ends by praising Romario Shepherd for his bowling effort as well.
Hardik Pandya, the captain of India says that in all honesty, the batting performance from them was under par and even though the wicket was on the slower side, they should have gotten to 160-170. On Nicholas Pooran, he says that it becomes difficult to rotate the spinners when he is hitting the ball like this but they did fight back well. Adds that the current combination that they have, they have to bat with 7 batters and need to trust the team and they need to figure out a way to get more contribution from the tailenders if required but the batters themselves need to take more responsibility. On Tilak Varma, he says that the way he has been batting gives them a solid option in the middle order, especially given that he is a left-hander.
Nicholas Pooran wins the Player of the Match award. He starts by saying that he is satisfied with his performance. Mentions that the beauty of this game is that it isn't over until it is over. States that he does not feel that he is in his purple patch, since losing the captaincy he has started to look at the game from a different perspective and adds that all the hard work is paying off. Says that it is all about being positive and having the right energy.
The Presentation ceremony...
Earlier in the game, Hardik Pandya won the toss and opted to bat first on a pitch that did look a bit spin friendly. The Indian openers went hard at the bowling but Shubman Gill fell early followed by Suryakumar Yadav. Ishan Kishan and Tilak Varma led the fightback before Kishan too got out and after that, there was simply no one to stick around with Varma. Varma did bring up his maiden T20I fifty and a couple of lusty blows from the tailenders took India to over 150. As for the Windies' bowlers, they were pretty good for most of the innings with Akeal Hosein and Alzarri Joseph picking up a couple of wickets while remaining economical. Coming to the chase, it swung from one end to the other but eventually, the hosts managed to get over the line.
India will have a lot of mixed emotions at the moment but it is another defeat for them and yet another sub-par display. Skipper Hardik Pandya took the new ball and gave his side a dream start with a double breakthrough in the very first over. But, the visitors did bowl a couple of really expensive overs and got the opposition to get well ahead of the required rate. They seemed to have no answer for Nicholas Pooran and due to this, Axar Patel wasn't even used. They did however get back into the game with a plethora of wickets thanks mainly to the leg-spin duo of Yuzvendra Chahal and Ravi Bishnoi but the pacers simply didn't back it up at the backend of the chase. India now face an uphill task of winning three games in a row to clinch the series.
After another solid display with the ball, West Indies got off to a poor start with the bat with Brandon King and Johnson Charles both falling in the first over. There was a counterpunch from Kyle Mayers but he too got out leaving the hosts 32/3. Then came the 57-run stand between skipper Rovman Powell and Nicholas Pooran with the latter in sensational hitting form. This partnership turned the game on its head and at one point they were 126/4 with Pooran spitting fire. This however soon became 129/8 and at that point, the hosts looked down and out. Luckily for them, the pair of Akeal Hosein and Alzarri Joseph came clutch and managed to take the side home with 7 balls to spare.
Pheww, that was a humdinger! West Indies have gone from cruising to victory to throwing it all away to just about scraping over the line and they will be mightily relieved. The hosts go 2-0 up in the five-match T20I series, just one game away from sealing the series.

Yuzvendra Chahal To Shimron Hetmyer OUT!
A loud appeal for lbw but turned down! Chahal is convinced and Hardik Pandya takes the review. It is tossed up, around off, the ball turns into the batter. Shimron Hetmyer tries to flick it away but misses and gets pinged on his pads. The umpire thinks it is going above the sticks and keeps his finger down. Thanks to the technology, India are able to get rid of Shimron Hetmyer now as the Ball Tracking shows three reds. And the suddenly, the floodgates have opened up here. Three wickets come in total in this over. India have the momentum on their side.

OUT! RUN OUT! Another one bites the dust. There is still some hope for India. It is looped up, on the pads. Shimron Hetmyer flicks it to deep mid-wicket. The batters push hard for the first one, they are surely looking for the second run here. Romario Shepherd is quick to turn and is committed on the bases of the call, but Shimron Hetmyer denies him then which leaves him hanging in the middle of the pitch. Axar Patel throws is to the keeper, who makes no mistake. Jason Holder is the new man in.

Pooran looks to smash it away but doesn't get the connection. The ball is hit straight to Sanju Samson at cover-point but it is a bit too fast and the ball pops out. Samson shows good composure though as he gobbles it up on the second chance. A first wicket in T20Is for Mukesh Kumar and Pooran departs after a sensational knock. 27 needed now off 36 balls.

Hetmyer looks to block off the front foot and gets an outside edge to first slip. Shubman Gill pouches it in front of him and the umpires go upstairs to check. The replays confirm that the ball just bounced as it went into the hands of Gill and hence, it will be Not Out.
Is that a clean catch? The umpires converge for a quick discussion and they take it upstairs. The replays confirm that the ball touches the ground before Shubman Gill gathers it in his palms. the big screen shows NOT OUT.

Drinks break! West Indies were going along very nicely and the stand between Nicholas Pooran and Rovman Powell certainly took the gave away from India a bit but skipper Hardik Pandya might have just handed his side a huge lifeline. The hosts need 64 off 61 balls and do have the depth in the batting line up but a couple of wickets here and it can all get nervy. Nicholas Pooran is the key for both sides here. Also, Shimron Hetmyer comes out to bat now.

Hardik Pandya To Rovman Powell OUT!

Yuzvendra Chahal To Rovman Powell
WIDE! Yuzvendra Chahal goes full, down the leg side. Rovman Powell tries to flick it away but misses. Ishan Kishan gathers the ball in a flash, although he waits for Rovman Powell to make a mistake. The West Indies does lift his leg in the air, but fortunately it comes down quickly. Hence, the third umpire informs that it is NOT OUT.
Is that stumped? There is an appeal from behind the stumps by Ishan Kishan and the umpires do go upstairs. The UltraEdge is checked first and there is no bat involved. The replays roll in and show that Rovman Powell has his back leg grounded but he does raise it for a split second. The bails though come off once it is grounded again, so, NOT OUT on the big screen comes up.

Arshdeep Singh To Kyle Mayers OUT!
OUT! LBW! Given lbw again and Kyle Mayers has reviewed it. Good-length delivery around middle and this one angles in with the arm. It is actually the knuckle-ball and Mayers looks to tuck it away leg side but misses and gets pinged on the pads. There is an appeal and the finger is raised. Nothing on UltraEdge and Ball Tracking shows the wickets as the umpire's call. Arshdeep Singh has his revenge and Mayers has to walk back even though he isn't happy to.

Given lbw! Nicholas Pooran has reviewed it immediately though. This is a brilliant delivery from Arshdeep Singh as he serves it full on off and gets the ball to move away beautifully. Pooran leans on and looks to block but is beaten on the outside edge. The ball hits him on the back leg and after the appeal, the finger is raised. Nothing on UltraEdge but Ball Tracking shows the ball is missing the off stump, excellent review from Pooran.
