In the third T20I match against <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/sports/cricket/article/ind-vs-wi-3rd-t20i-skipper-shreyas-iyer-heaps-praise-on-team-india-bowlers-after-win-in-indore-23654591" rel="nofollow">Team India</a>, the West Indies suffered a loss by 14 runs at the Holkar Cricket Stadium in Indore.
After the match, the visitors' skipper Shai Hope said that they could have executed their plans better with the ball and used the pitch conditions well.
"Little things that you pick up can be defining moments, whether you get off your line. Winning team as opposed to losing one. So, probably with the ball, could have executed a little bit better, maybe used the surface a bit more, and a few runs we probably let through on the boundaries. Those small little margins could be the deciding factor at the back end of any game," he said.
