IND beat WI by 6 wickets | West Indies vs India, Highlights And Cricket Score 3rd T20I Match
West Indies in India, 3 T20I Series, 2018
Date: Nov 11, 2018 Start Time: 19:00 IST | 13:30 GMT | 19:00 LocalVenue: MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai
India would be aiming to sweep the three-match T20I series against an inconsistent West Indies when the two teams lock horns against each other for the final game at the MA Chidambaram Stadium (Chepauk). The Indian pace duo Umesh Yadav and Jasprit Bumrah and spinner Kuldeep Yadav have been rested for the inconsequential encounter against the Caribbean side. The All-India Senior Selection Committee has added Siddarth Kaul to the Indian squad.
On the batting front, opener and stand-in captain Rohit Sharma has shone with the bat, smashing an unbeaten century at the Bharat Ratna Atal Bihari Vajpayee International Stadium in Lucknow on November 7. However, the likes of Shikhar Dhawan, Rishabh Pant and KL Rahul have been scratchy throughout the series and have not been able to muster runs from their willows.
India's bowling department has shown a lot of promise with pacers and spinners, breathing fire and stifling out the West Indian batsmen. Big names such as Kieron Pollard, Carlos Brathwaite, Denesh Ramdin, and Darren Bravo have failed miserably with the bat.
Shimron Hetmyer and Shai Hope, who were the shining stars in the ODI series, have struggled to replicate their form in the T20 series. Even the Caribbean bowlers have struggled to contain the Indian batsmen, leaking plenty of runs and letting themselves down in the end.
The 'Men in Blue' could tinker with their winning combination and try out a few players. On the other hand, the West Indies would be aiming to sign off their tough month-long series in India with a consolation win in the final T20I game. India has already taken an unassailable 2-0 lead in the series, having won the Tests 2-0 and the ODIs 3-1. (ANI)

The Windies have struggled to contain the Indian batsmen in this series. Tonight was no different. No one could exercise control and the last-ball finish was purely due to India's clumsiness. Keemo Paul and Fabian Allen though, can hold their heads high. Please stay tuned for the presentation...

Further adds that he wanted to finish the game but could not do so. States that he looks to play according to the situation. Ends by saying he is happy to contribute to the team's win.
It was a period of shot-hitting where Pant was hitting paddles and reverse paddles. However, even when he got out, India needed 7 runs from 10 balls, which should have not been a worry. However, the Indians dragged this into the last over and Dhawan got out too, which made it tricky for India, needing 1 from the final ball. All due to one bad shot from Rishabh Pant, who was nervous for those last 10 balls. Here he is, having an interview with Sanjay Manjrekar.
The two left-handers started slowly, but then began getting on with it. Runs started to come in large numbers in an over, as high as 18, 16, that too, consistently. Dhawan went on to get his highest T20I score while Pant managed his first T20I half century and the 130-run stand sealed the deal for India. Nearly.
New match, same old problems for India. One of their top 3 needs to fire. It was Rohit the other night, it was Dhawan tonight. The southpaw made sure that the Windies never went into ascendancy mode, after picking up 2 wickets in the Powerplay and found an able partner in Rishabh Pant.
A whitewash by India. But they almost made a mess of it. Pant and Dhawan kept the home side comfortably ahead in the chase but almost let it slip.
Fabian Allen to Manish Pandey. MIX-UP BUT INDIA WIN! Hard luck for Allen. He is on his haunches, heartbroken. Pandey pushes this towards mid on and sets off for a quick single.

Fabian Allen to Shikhar Dhawan. OUT! Dhawan holes out! Shikhar comes down the track and looks to go big but finds Kieron Pollard at long on! Excellent knock from him, but has he got out at the worst possible time?
