India T20 series decider with West Indies washed out
BENGALURU, (India) :India and West Indies were forced to settle for a 2-2 stalemate in their five-match Twenty20 International series after Saturday’s deciding match lasted just 48 minutes before it met a watery end.
BENGALURU, India: India and West Indies concluded their five-match Twenty20 International series in a 2-2 draw on Saturday after their deciding match was abruptly halted due to rain. The match, which began an hour and 45 minutes late, was reduced to nine overs per side at Bengaluru's M Chinnaswamy Stadium. India reached 118-5 in 7.4 overs before rain returned, preventing even a five-over-a-side shootout.
The stadium, hosting its first international fixture since the October 2024 Test match between India and New Zealand, welcomed over 20,000 fans who endured the inclement weather. India's batters took advantage of being put in by West Indies captain Shai Hope, scoring eight fours and seven sixes. Ishan Kishan, Sanju Samson, and Naman Dhir were the standout performers. However, the skies opened up again, extinguishing any chance of a decisive result.
