India Vs West Indies Live Score 3rd T20I: Shamar Joseph Removes Samson Early, Abhishek-Kishan In Focus | IND 45/1 (4)

India are fighting back after Sanju Samson’s early dismissal! Abhishek Sharma has shifted gears with an explosive 21 off just nine deliveries, while Ishan Kishan is settling in at the other end. The third over brings 18 runs as India race to 29/1, putting pressure back on the West Indies bowlers.

Sanju Samson departs early! Shamar Joseph strikes as India lose their first wicket with just seven runs on the board. Sanju looks to flick the full delivery over the infield but gets it off the bottom of the bat, mistiming the shot. Kamil Pooran takes the catch, and Samson walks back for 3 off 6 balls. India are 7/1 after 1.4 overs.

Sanju Samson and Abhishek Sharma are in the middle to get India’s innings underway, with Samson taking strike. Roston Chase has the new ball in hand as West Indies look for an early breakthrough. Can the Indian openers provide a flying start?

West Indies won the toss and opted to bowl first.

The second T20I witnessed a thrilling run-fest as India posted a massive 249/5, powered by Sanju Samson’s 82. However, the West Indies chased down 250 in just 18.3 overs, with Shai Hope smashing a stunning century and Sherfane Rutherford contributing 84 off 37 balls to seal a memorable victory.

India are unlikely to make wholesale changes, especially with dew playing a significant role in the second T20I. However, Shivam Dube could make way for Nitish Kumar Reddy, with the CSK all-rounder yet to make a significant impact in the series.
