INDIA WIN!

SIX! Rishabh Pant sends the ball sailing into the stands down the ground as India beat West Indies by seven wickets to register a clean sweep in the T20I series.

After 19 overs,India 144/3 ( Rishabh Pant (W) 59 , Manish Pandey 2)

Indians are not in a hurry. So only three singles were taken in this over of Cottrell. They need three more in last over for a clean sweep.

After 18 overs,India 141/3 ( Rishabh Pant (W) 57 , Manish Pandey 1)

Thomas picks the wicket of Kohli on his return but there’s hardly any celebration. The wicket has come very late. Kohli got out trying to guide the full ball over the circle on off but he placed the shot into the hands of backward point fielder. Pant added a six on the last ball with a clip shot, a shot similar to what he played against Bumrah in IPL 2019. Manish Pandey is the new batsman. Six more need in last two overs.

Century stands for third wicket for India in T20Is:

Virat Kohli/Rishabh Pant v WI, Providence, 2019*

OUT! KOHLI GONE! 

Kohli c Lewis b Thomas 59(45)

West Indies players are not celebrating. It’s very late now. Fuller delivery on off from Thomas and Kohli wanted to guide it over the circle but found the fielder on the edge at backward point.

After 17 overs,India 129/2 ( Virat Kohli (C) 55 , Rishabh Pant (W) 50)

Cottrell called back into attack. Pant and Kohli have completed 100-run partnership, first duo to do so at Guyana. Also, Pant has brought up his fifty. Both milestones were raised as Pant played a flick shot to fine leg fence. India need 18 in 18 balls.

After 16 overs,India 120/2 ( Virat Kohli (C) 53 , Rishabh Pant (W) 43)

Narine continues. Fifty for Kohli. His 21st in T20Is. Brought up the milestone by flicking the tossed up ball to square leg fence. Pant finishes the over with another four and that also with a reverse sweep. India need 27 in 24 balls.

After 15 overs,India 109/2 ( Virat Kohli (C) 47 , Rishabh Pant (W) 38)

Keemo Paul conitnues. 100 up for India. An over of two great shots. Kohli dragged the overpitched delivery from outside off to wide of long on with his wrists for a boundary while Pant slammed the slower delivery over deep extra-cover fence for a six. India need 38 in five overs.

After 14 overs,India 95/2 ( Virat Kohli (C) 41 , Rishabh Pant (W) 30)

Brathwaite continues. Talking about being uncharacteristic, Kohli came out to slash a slower ball but missed the delivery. Tried swiping the next ball with brute force but top-edged it into no man’s land. But then manages to show his best with a beautiful drive over inner circle on off for a four. 10 off the over. India need 52 in six overs.

Most 30-plus scores in T20Is:

30 – Shoaib Malik

After 13 overs,India 85/2 ( Virat Kohli (C) 32 , Rishabh Pant (W) 29)

Keemo Paul into attack. Pant has been uncharacteristically silent today. The focus is on punishing the bad balls and that’s exactly what Keemo did. A slower one into the slot and Pant slammed it over covers fence. Nine off the over. India need 62 in 42 balls.

After 12 overs,India 76/2 ( Virat Kohli (C) 30 , Rishabh Pant (W) 22)

Narine continues. India keep the scoreboard ticking with five coming from the over including a double for Pant. India need 71 more in 48 balls. The required rate is 8.88.

After 11 overs,India 71/2 ( Virat Kohli (C) 28 , Rishabh Pant (W) 19)

Carlos Brathwaite into attack. Nine from the over but all the mattered was the cover drive from Kohli — shot of the match. Sensing lack of pace he took a step forward to create space and crunched it through off.

After 10 overs,India 62/2 ( Virat Kohli (C) 21 , Rishabh Pant (W) 17)

Narine continues. And he started with a brilliant first ball as it skidded through to beat Pant’s outside edge, who got off the mark immediately with a single. Another late-late cut by Kohli for a double. And then a single. India need 85 in 60 balls.

After 9 overs,India 58/2 ( Virat Kohli (C) 18 , Rishabh Pant (W) 16)

Allen continues. Less action in this over considering we saw a boundary each in last three overs. Just four singles this time. Kohli, Pant don’t look in any hurry. There’s no need also. Still a lot of time left.

Virat Kohli’s batting average in T20Is:

Batting first – 34.19
While chasing – 79.06

After 8 overs,India 54/2 ( Virat Kohli (C) 16 , Rishabh Pant (W) 14)

Sunil Nrine called into attack. Not a good start for the veteran who lacked rhythm. Back-to-back short and wide deliveries to Pant. He missed first one but cut the second one past point fielder for a four. Nine off the over.
