West Indies vs India 3rd T20: Suryakumar Yadav’s 83 off 44 took India home by seven wickets. Courtesy of this win, India stay alive in the 5-match series which the Windies lead 2-1.
Suryakumar Yadav was back to his belligerent best as India stayed alive in the series with a seven-wicket win over the West Indies in the third T20I here on Tuesday. West Indies skipper Rovman Powell’s whirlwind 40 not out off 19 balls pushed the hosts to 159 for five after Kuldeep Yadav (3/28) stemmed the flow of runs in the middle overs. Debutant Yashavi Jaiswal (1) and Shubman Gill (6) got out cheaply in run chase before Suryakumar came up with a special 83 off 44 balls to help India gun down the target in 17.5 overs. Tilak Varma (49 not out off 37) was happy to play second fiddle to his senior Mumbai Indians teammate in their 87-run stand. Tilak missed his second straight fifty in his debut series as Indian captain Hardik Pandya finished the game with six to win the third match of the five-match T20I series by seven wickets. This win at the National Stadium in Providence, Guyana has kept India alive in the series which the West Indies lead 2-1 going to Florida for the last two matches.
