‘Just install a bowling machine’: Chahal on pitches after WI chase down 250 vs India

In a thrilling T20I encounter, West Indies secured a memorable win against India at JSCA International Stadium Complex, Ranchi. The game was a spectacle of cricketing excellence, with the West Indies' batting line-up led by Shai Hope and Sherfane Rutherford delivering a masterclass in batting prowess.

Hope's century was nothing short of phenomenal. With 33 sixes and 46 fours, he amassed 102 runs off just 58 balls. His partnership with Rutherford was the backbone of West Indies' chase, with Rutherford contributing 84 runs off 34 balls. Their combined efforts saw West Indies reach the target with 27 balls to spare, all while battling a dewy pitch that made life tough for the Indian bowlers.

The Indian bowlers struggled to grip the ball, a testament to the unforgiving conditions. Roston Chase's figures of 4-0-24-3 were outstanding, but his brilliance was overshadowed by Hope and Rutherford's performance. The West Indies captain, Shai Hope, had been in scintillating form throughout the series, and this match was no different. His consistency and leadership shone through.

The Indian bowlers, led by Roston Chase, put up a brave fight, but in the end, it was the West Indies who emerged victorious. The match will be remembered for Hope's heroic knock and the relentless batting display by Rutherford. It was a night to remember in the annals of West Indies cricket.
