In a thrilling encounter, West Indies emerged victorious over India in the decisive third One-Day International in New Chandigarh on Saturday. Shai Hope's heroic unbeaten knock of 162 off 143 balls was the cornerstone of the West Indies' resistance. Hope's partnership of 109 runs with Amir Jangoo proved pivotal, stabilizing the innings after early losses, including that of John Campbell.
Despite several wickets falling, including those of Keemo Paul and Matthew Forde, Hope maintained control, adding another crucial 56 runs with Jangoo. India's batting lineup, anchored by Rohit Sharma and Ruturaj Gaikwad, staged a resilient recovery with a 137-run partnership, but Sharma fell 8 runs short of a century. KL Rahul's aggressive finish of 42 off the last 12 balls propelled India to a total of 351-7.
However, India's late surge was not enough as they fell short in their pursuit, finishing at 351-7. The series was already secured by India following their wins in the first two ODIs, courtesy of Shubman Gill's leadership.
