Falls short of the player even as Hardik Pandya hit a one-handed shot

 

Varma on 47 would be eager to get the strike for the next over as the target is down to just 7 runs now. Unfortunately, he won’t have it as Pandya takes a single off the last ball. 

 

11:07 PM

WI vs IND 3rd T20 LIVE SCORE: India 148/3 in 16 overs

 

Six!! Short and pulled away by Tilak Varma for a six over deep backward square leg. This has brought the target down drastically. 

 

Hardik Pandya though is playing too many dot balls unnecessarily instead of finishing the match. 

 

Four!! It was an edge and it has gone for a four. Thanks to that, Hardik Pandya’s strike rate would improve drastically

Alzarri Joseph has finally got rid of Suryakumar Yadav or more like Surya has hit one in the hand of the fielder placed at deep fine-leg and he made no mistake. India are now three down as skipper Hardik Pandya walks into bat. Now the Men in Blue need 37 off 42 with seven wickets intact.

10:38 PM

WI vs IND 3rd T20 LIVE SCORE: India 97/2 in 10 overs

 

Rain is having no effect at all on Surya’s batting as he is hammering down all the Wets Indies bowlers one by one. The Indian total has ‘SKY’ rocketed to 97/2 at the end of 10 overs. The team only needs 63 more to win in the last 10 overs. If West Indies don’t take wickets here, the match has almost slipped out of their hands

 

10:32 PM

WI vs IND 3rd T20 LIVE SCORE: India 84/2 in 09 overs

 

It seems like the continuous rainfall has taken all the dryness out of the wicket and hence the spinners are turning out to be of no help here for the home team. 

 

10:31 PM

WI vs IND 3rd T20 LIVE SCORE: India 79/2 in 08 overs

10:01 PM

WI vs IND 3rd T20 LIVE SCORE: India 25/1 in 02 overs

 

To bowl a no ball is a crime and if it is bowled by a spinner, it is double the crime. That’s what happened as even after bowling a decent over and creating chances, Akeal Hosein went for nine runs in his first over.

9:43 PM

WI vs IND 3rd T20 LIVE SCORE: West Indies innings summary

 

West Indies skipper Rovman Powell played an important knock of 40* off just 19 balls to take his team to a total of 159/5 in the allotted 20 overs in the third T20I of the five-match series at the National Stadium in Providence, Guyana. For India, Kuldeep Yadav picked 3/28 in his four overs. 

 

Apart from Powell, Brandon King (42 off 42), Kyle Mayers (25 off 20) and Nicholas Pooran (20 off 12) were major contributors to the Windies total. However, this is not an unachievable target and the Indian batting unit would aim to chase it down and remain alive in the series. 

 

9:37 PM

WI vs IND 3rd T20 LIVE SCORE: West Indies 159/5 after 20 overs

 

The last over started very fine from Mukesh Kumar as he conceded only two runs in the first four balls. But now after conceding a six and bowling a wide, the total has moved to nine from the over with a ball yet to be bowled. 

 

And on the last ball, Powell runs two and sets a target of 160 for India to win, 10 more than what the Windies had set in the first T20I. It would not be easy on this wicket. 

 

9:33 PM

WI vs IND 3rd T20 LIVE SCORE: West Indies 148/5 after 19 overs

 

Arshdeep Singh was taken to the cleaners in an over in which he bowled eight deliveries. He conceded 17 runs in the over as Powell looks to get Windies past 160

WI vs IND 3rd T20 LIVE SCORE: West Indies 131/5 after 18 overs

 

Mukesh Kumar pegged the flow of runs once again as he dismissed dangerous-looking Shimron Hetmyer on the very first ball of the 18th over. Powell tried to create run-soring opportunities, but it was too much to ask as Kumar didn’t give anything scoreable. 

 

9:21 PM

WI vs IND 3rd T20 LIVE SCORE: West Indies 123/4 after 17 overs

 

The 10 runs from Arshdeep over means that West Indies are trying to gain back some momentum here. They desperately needed it after the double wicket in the previous over.

WI vs IND 3rd T20 LIVE SCORE: West Indies 113/4 after 16 overs

 

It was a great spell from Kuldeep Yadav as the bowler finished with figures of 3/28 from his four, totally justifying the trust placed in the team by him. 

 

9:11 PM

WI vs IND 3rd T20 LIVE SCORE: West Indies 106/4 after 15 overs

 

This is a game-changing over from Kuldeep Yadav as he has got both the set batters in Nicholas Pooran and Brandon King. While Pooran was stumped trying to put pressure on the very first ball, King was out on the fifth as the ball stayed low and give him no time to play his shot. With the shot checked, it went straight back to Kuldeep at the bowler’s end.
