India repeated the 3-0 dose on the West Indies to clinch the T20I series here on Sunday night after their clean sweep in the ODI series. Except for Nicholas Pooran (47-ball 61, 8x4, 1x6), none of the other Windies batters contributed much as they tried chasing India’s 184-5. Harshal Patel was India’s top bowler with 3-22 off four overs as the Windies finished on 167-9, losing by 17 runs.
Earlier, Suryakumar Yadav unleashed his brute power en route an explosive half-century and was well supported by Venkatesh Iyer as India posted a challenging total. Suryakumar smashed seven sixes and one boundary in an exceptional display of clean-hitting before getting out for a 31-ball 65 in the final delivery. India smashed 86 runs in the final five overs.

Pace bowling all-rounder Venkatesh Iyer remained unbeaten on 35 off 19 balls with four fours and two sixes at the other end as the duo put together 91 runs from 37 balls for the fourth wicket to help India recover from a mini middle order collapse. Having put on a 50-plus stand in just 32 balls, the duo of Shreyas and Ishan failed to convert their starts and got out in the space of seven balls.
The Windies spin duo of Hayden Walsh Junior (4-0-30-1) and Roston Chase (4-0-23-1) bowled brilliantly in the middle overs. Leg-spinner Hayden got the breakthrough when Shreyas paid the price for playing against the spin to be caught at long-off, while Chase cleaned up Kishan in the next over with a brilliant change of pace.
