West Indies beat India as Hope’s hundred secures record T20 chase
Shai Hope's hundred and Sherfane Rutherford's fifty lead West Indies in record 252 chase to level series 1-1.
India head coach Gautam Gambhir criticized the flat pitches in recent T20Is in Guwahati and Ranchi, after West Indies chased down a target of 250 and levelled the series at 1-1. Shai Hope's unbeaten 102 off 45 balls, coupled with Sherfane Rutherford's 120-run partnership, led the visitors to victory by six wickets. Gambhir emphasized the need for a fairer contest between bat and ball, stating that bowlers also have a stake in the game.
He acknowledged West Indies' world-class batting, particularly in the T20 format, and stressed that India must improve their response to defend big totals, especially when losing early wickets.
