India beat West Indies by a huge margin of 7 wickets in the third T20I held at Warner Park in Basseterre. With the victory, India is leading the five-match series at 2-1. West Indies posted a target of 165 but India had finished the game with an over in hand. This was possible due to Suryakumar Yadav’s 76 runs. Initially, the team suffered a blow since the Indian skipper Rohit Sharma had to retire due to a back spasm. From West Indies, Kyle Mayers mustered 73 runs that helped the team post a total of 164 runs for five wickets against the opposition. The series ended in a draw on Monday after West Indies won the match against India. Obed McCoy became the best bowler from West Indies taking 6 wickets and giving out only 17 runs. Well, that’s an excellent figure. Brandon king smashed a fifty whereas Devon Thomas scored impressive runs to help West Indies reach a good level. Brandom king is rising well as a middle-order batter.

Earlier, no team could chase more than 147 runs in a T20I at the Warner Park ground but with the help of Suryakumar Yadav’s impressive batting skills, India could finally chase down the target of 165 runs. The player had a dry spell after smashing a century at Nottingham but the last match brought the player back to his element. In the match he hit eight fours and four sixes.
