The fifth and final T20I between India and West Indies was called off due to rain, as the action was interrupted during the truncated nine-match-a-side at Bengaluru’s M Chinnaswamy Stadium on Saturday.
In the next over, Ishan Kishan took on Romario Shepherd, restoring momentum with a 24-run over. Romario also delivered a wide, taking India’s score to 38 runs in two overs. Tilak was cleaned up for a six-ball seven by Springer, reducing India to 118/5 in 7.4 overs.
Starting the over with a flick over fine leg for a six, Ishan followed it with a four, six and then a four. The rain interrupted the action just after the wicket, and the game was called off.
At 2-2, the trophy will be shared between India and West Indies. However, India’s innings was cut short at 118/5 in 7.4 overs, with Ishan Kishan (30* in 10 balls, with three fours and two sixes) and Naman Dhir (24* in six balls, with a four and three sixes) having played entertaining knocks. After a halt due to rain, the match began as a nine-over-per-side affair.
Shamar Springer and Keemo Paul starred for WI with two wickets each.
