That's it. Arshdeep Singh tried his best but it was not enough. Fell in the second last delivery of the over and all Mukesh could get was a single off the last ball. India would be very disappointed with their outing the bat. Hardik Pandya and Sanju Samson were almost there but that one over from Jason Holder dragged the game in India's favour. For the first time in the tour, West Indies lead in a series.
Out! Another blow. Romario Shepherd brings the balls in with the angle of his slingy action and Kuldeep Yadav goes through the shot early and gets cleaned up. Very tough task for India now.
Out! Axar Patel skies one trying to charge halfway into the pitch and it is Shimron Hetmyer again settling under the ball and taking it cleanly. This is now a very difficult situation for India as Axar was the last recognised batter.
Out! Sanju Samson Run Out. Double blow for India as Sanju calls for a quick single, only for Kyle Mayers finding him short of the crease. India is in trouble now.
Out! Jason Holder's change ups work again as Hardik Pandya charges down the track only to get beaten and the ball crashes into his stumps. It will not be easy to score with the old ball in this track.
Captain Hardik Pandya leads charge supported by Sanju Samson as the duo propels India near the winning total. Their partnership found crucial boundaries as they narrow down the target.
Out! Tilak Varma's exceptional debut knock comes to and end. He really took on the Caribbean attack under pressure and pushed them in backfoot. This time gets foxed by the slowness of the wicket mistiming one from Romario Shepherd straight to the hands of deep square leg.
Out! Jason Holder tries a change up and Suryakumar Yadav goes hard at it but can't keep it down. Shimron Hetmyer dives to his left and grabs the catch. Big wicket for West Indies.
Back-to-back sixes from the bat from debutant Tilak Varma as he comes on to the crease. He announces his arrival in style as he takes on the back of length deliveries from Alzarri Joseph launching them over the rope.
Out! Four and gone. Ishan Kishan tries to take on Obed McKoy and hits a boundary, but then strikes one straight into the hands of the mid-on. West Indies have kept things tight as well as bagged two important wickets.
Having dictated proceedings in the Tests and ODIs, Team India would look to complete their domination over the West Indies when they lock horns with the Caribbean side in a five-match T20I series, the first of which gets underway on August 3. It is also a landmark moment for Indian cricket with the team set to play its 200th T20I. India experimented with the ODI squad in the recently-concluded series and although they lost to West Indies in the second game, the youngsters proved their talent by handing the visitors a mammoth 200-run victory in the third and final ODI of the series. Hardik Pandya will once again lead the T20I side which will once again have some young and exciting players who will look to make a mark and impress. Plus, the Indian team management will also have one eye firmly fixed on the T20 World Cup next year and prepare a match-winning combination for the same. The marquee tournament will be held in the West Indies and the United States.

West Indies on the other hand, have a point to prove. Having not qualified for the ODI World Cup later this year is undoubtedly a massive setback for their cricket but the Caribbean side will be aware of their strengths in the shortest format of the game. Under the leadership of Rovman Powell, West Indies will look to upstage India in the format in which most of their cricketers are dominant. The likes of Nicholas Pooran, Jason Holder, Akeal Hosein and Johnson Charles returning to the fold will undoubtedly be a big boost to their chances in the series. Fans can expect nothing less than a sensational five-match series between these two sides, starting today.
