West Indies beat India by 5 wickets
Right then, that is all we have from this thrilling encounter! The series is levelled at 1-1 and in a quick turnaround, the third T20I will be played on the same ground on Tuesday, 2nd of August. It will start at 8 pm IST (2.30 pm GMT). Our build-up though begins a lot earlier. So do join us for the same. Till then, goodbye and cheers!
Nicholas Pooran, the skipper of West Indies says that it was very pleasing win and he can finally breathe now. He says there have been a couple of close games which they lost but it feels good to be on the winning side this time. He praises Obed McCoy along with other bowlers and says that they did a wonderful job restricting India to a below par score. He says the batters gave a really good start but in the middle they lost their way a bit, nevertheless a win is a win. He tells that it did not work for him and Hetmyer today but they want to continue taking the responsibility. He also praised King for the way he batted and says that he should learn from this game and finish games off in the future. He tells Thomas returned from an injury and managed to put up a nice performance on his home ground. He ends by saying that Obed McCoy is a bit of a freak and they need to deal with it but it is lovely to have him in the team as he gives them a left-arm option as well.
Rohit Sharma, the skipper of India is in for a chat. He starts by saying they did not get enough runs on the board. He says they will try to learn from the mistakes they made in this game and hopefully they will come back stronger. On giving the final over to Avesh Khan, he says that it is important to put them into tough situations and give them a feel of how it is to bowl under pressure for India. These young bowlers have done it in the Indian T20 League but this is a different ball game. Also adds that with these performances, they shouldn't let themselves down. Mentions they shouldn't panic after losing a game.
Obed McCoy is the PLAYER OF THE MATCH for his incredible bowling performance. He starts by thanking God and says that he has been doing this for his mom who is sick and that keeps him motivated. He says that getting wickets in the powerplay was key. He adds that in the previous match he was overthinking and he improved that in this game which helped him to execute his plans. He ends by saying he is thankful for all the experiences and challenges.
Presentation time.
Earlier in the game, India struggled with the bat after Pooran decided to bowl first on a tricky pitch. Obed McCoy was the star for the Windies as he took a six-fer and that gave Windies a great chance coming into the second half. It turned out to a quite a thrilling chase in the end and it was West Indies who managed to get the better of India on the day.
Indian bowlers should be credited for taking the game to the final over. They were defending a very modest total and needed early wickets but sadly it was not the case in this game. However, Pandya bowled brilliantly in the middle overs along with the spinners and that kept India in the game. Avesh Khan got an important wicket of King in the 16th over and Arshdeep Singh once again showed why he is rated so highly as he gave away just 6 runs in the 19th over and got a big wicket of Powell. Avesh Khan was trusted in the final over by the skipper over Bhuvneshwar Kumar but unfortunately for him, things did not go according to the plan for the youngster.
West Indies were chasing a below-par total and they got off to a perfect start with the bat as well as the Windies openers went onto score 46 runs in the Powerplay. Mayers departed just after the Powerplay but Pooran and King steadied the ship and West Indies were at one stage motoring along nicely towards a comfortable victory. However, Pooran departed in the 10th over and Hetmyer too could not last long. West Indies still were in a comfortable position with just 38 needed off 30 balls and seven wickets in hand. The wicket of King brought some panic in the Windies dressing room and it came to the situation where the Windies needed 10 off the last over and Thomas came to the rescue and finished the game for the Windies after some nervy moments in the final few overs.
WEST INDIES PULL OFF A LAST-OVER THRILLER! Spare a thought for Avesh Khan. He started the over defending 9 but perhaps on the very first ball itself, sealed the fate. Yes, Thomas did hit a six and a four but had that first ball not been a no ball, maybe, this game could have had a different or a longer finish. Anyways, West Indies have levelled the series but they nearly made a mess of it in the death overs. However, they have managed to cross the line in the end and this sets us up nicely for the remaining three games of this series.

A huge appeal for lbw! The umpire shows no interest. Rohit Sharma though decides to take the review. It is tossed up, around off, turning in a touch. Brandon King gets down on one knee and tries to sweep it away but misses. He gets rapped on the pads. The umpire shows no interest but Sharma thinks otherwise. The UltraEdge show no bat is involved. The Ball Tracking shows that the impact is outside the line. The original decision stands. Rohit Sharma's ploy of taking the review does not benefit his side.

However, the umpires wants to check if the catch is clean or not as Jadeja takes it quite low. The replays shows that there is no need to change the decision and Hetmyer has to go. A much needed wicket for India and Windies are three down now.

NOT OUT! Shimron Hetmyer survives. Hardik Pandya bowls this on a length again and on off, nips away, Shimron Hetmyer tries to guide it to the off side but gets a thin outside edge towards the keeper. Rishabh Pant takes the catch and appeals for it but the umpires are not sure about it. They take it upstairs to see if the catch is clean or not. The soft signal is not out. The UltraEdge shows that there is clear bat involved but the replay shows the ball bouncing in front of Pant before he pouches it. So, the on field decision remains.
Is that out? India have appealed for a caught behind. The umpire though wants to check whether the catch is taken cleanly or not? The soft signal is NOT OUT! The replays roll in and first they check for the UltraEdge and there is a clear spike, he has nicked this. So the question now is whether Pant took that cleanly? The answer is NO! The replays show that the ball goes off the bounce into the gloves. Shimron Hetmyer will continue.

Hardik Pandya To Kyle Mayers OUT!
OUT! TAKEN! Hardik Pandya comes into the attack and gets the breakthrough straightaway. He bowls this full and on the pads, Kyle Mayers tries to flick it over the fine leg fence but cannot get the right power behind it and hits it high up in the air. Ravichandran Ashwin there did not have to move much as he pouches it safely. Can India capitalise on this breakthrough?
Hardik Pandya is into the attack now.
