IN PICS: India vs West Indies, 2nd T20I

India beat West Indies 22 runs via D/L to win the three-match T20I series with a game to spare.


Top-scorer in the four-wicket victory in the opening match of the series at the same venue a day earlier, Rohit blazed 67 off 51 balls with three sixes and six fours embellishing his entertaining innings. @AFP


Rohit’s knock came to an end after he mistimed his shot off Oshane Thomas, with Shimron Hetmyer taking the catch to give West Indies their second breakthrough. @AFP


West Indies managed to scalp three quick wickets as Thomas and Sheldon Cottrell joined forces to send Rishabh Pant, Kohli and Manish Pandey packing. @AFP


Virat Kohli won the toss and India elected to bat in the second Twenty20 international against West Indies at the Central Broward Regional Park Stadium Turf Ground Lauderhill in Florida on Sunday. @AFP



Rohit Sharma set the ball rolling for India as he and Shilkhar Dhawan put up a 67-run opening stand before Keemo Paul broke the partnership, dismissing the left-hander in the eighth over. @AFP


West Indies, who needed to win this match to keep the series alive ahead of the third match in Guyana on Tuesday, made one change with left-armer Khary Pierre offering the Caribbean side an additional spin option in place of opening batsman John Campbell. @AFP


West Indies pushed onto the backfoot early in the chase as Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Washington Sundar dismissed Evin Lewis and Sunil Narine early. However, Nicholas Pooran and Rovman Powell began the recovery for West Indies. @AFP


The Powell-Pooran pair added 76 runs partnership, with the former doing a majority of the scoring. @AFP


While Powell reached his second half-century in the T20I cricket, West Indies lost two wickets in quick succession as Pooran and Powell perished in the same over. @AFP


Krunal Pandya, who had earlier struck a quickfire 20 in 13 balls, dismissed Pooran and Powell in space of four balls and reduced West Indies to 85/4. @AFP


Soon after Krunal’s twin strikes, rain stopped play, with West Indies 98/4. After a brief stoppage, the match was called off and India won the second T20I by 22 runs on D/L method to bag the series, with a game to spare. @AFP
