As Brandon King brings up his eighth T20 fifty, the plate has come to the third halt in the day. This time around the cause of the halt is lightning. According to the rules, all the players must be inside a roof at the time of lightning. Few showers have accompanied the lightning as well. 

 

West Indies now need only 45 runs in 45 balls to win the match and pocket the series.

10:50 PM

WI vs IND 5th T20 LIVE SCORE: West Indies 47/1 after 05 overs

 

Brandon King smashed that really hard before the ball hit Nicholas Pooran’s stretched left arm at the non-striker’s end. That was four without any doubt otherwise. 

 

Pooran tried playing the ball easily as the rain falls heavily and there is a lot of uncertainty as to when the covers are going to come on. In that melee, Pooran tried to sweep a ball off the middle and leg but was lucky to get a deflection off his gloves on the ball as it hit the pad. He was termed LBW, but DRS saved him. 

 

10:41 PM

WI vs IND 5th T20 LIVE SCORE: West Indies 44/1 after 04 overs

 

If it was Pooran in the last over, it is Brandon King this time as West Indies continue on their six-hitting spree. The rain is falling fast now and the fourth over is going on. West Indies need to be smart here to not lose a wicket till the fifth over.

West Indies have been hit with the Arshdeep storm once again as he once again bounces out Kyle Mayers with a short ball ploy. He kept it too tall to be pulled and Mayers, a compulsive puller gave in to the ply and was caught at mid-off by Jaiswal.

 

10:26 PM

WI vs IND 5th T20 LIVE SCORE: West Indies 11/0 after 01 over

 

Kyle Mayers is doing what he does best- score quick runs. He was lucky on one delivery but hit a great six prior to that. West Indies get 11 in the first over
