  "account": "Abhishek Sharma scored quickly with a 69, setting the tone for India's victory against the West Indies in the third T20 international. Arshdeep Singh contributed three crucial wickets, helping India post a competitive total of 223 all out. The win secured India a 2-1 lead in the five-match series. India captain Shreyas Iyer praised the bowlers' confidence, noting the clear intent to take on the challenge. The previous two matches were won by the team batting second, as the West Indies pulled off a 250-run chase to level the series. Abhishek and Ishan Kishan put on 108 runs together before the team's batting faltered. The West Indies' captain, Shai Hope, conceded that \"little margins\" could decide the game. In reply, West Indies struggled, with Hope's unbeaten 102 contributing to their 209-7 total. The fourth match of the series takes place in Hyderabad on Wednesday.",
