  Nitish Reddy departs, Indian hopes fall apart

  Nitish Reddy was looking good in his stay at the crease. However, with the asking rate in excess of 20, he needed to go for sixes. In search for a big shot, he hit the ball straight into the hands of the fielder, as he departs for 41 runs. Keemo Paul follows it up with the wicket of Prince Yadav in the very next ball. Paul now has four wickets.

• 14 Oct 2026, 10:49:48 PM IST

  What an over from Springer!!

  At a time when India needed in excess of 17 runs an over, Shamar Springer bowled a gem of an 18th over. He gave away just 5 runs, as India now require 42 to win in the final two overs. All hopes now lie on Nitish Reddy.

• 14 Oct 2026, 10:45:26 PM IST

  Tilak Varma gone!!

  India have been delath with another major blow as they looked to build some momentum and pull off a miraculous come-from-behind run chase. However, their hopes were dashed massively after Romario Shepherd picked up the wicket of Tilak, who fell 9 runs short of a half-century.

• 14 Oct 2026, 10:38:58 PM IST

  Nitish Reddy turning on the heat!!

  Nitish Kumar Reddy is not giving up so easily. He is hitting sixes and fours and playing a blinder of a knock at the back end of the innings. With India needing 59 from the final 24 deliveries, it is literally game on, with both Reddy and Tilak Varma at the crease.

• 14 Oct 2026, 10:28:02 PM IST

  Tilak Varma holds key!!

  While the required run rate has gone past the 15-run-an-over mark, India are still clinging on to the hpe of chasing it down. The biggest hope at the crease is now Tilak Varma. However, he, along with Nitish Kumar Reddy need to pull off a herculean task.

• 14 Oct 2026, 10:25:18 PM IST

  Motie strikes again!!

  In the very next ball after getting the wicket of Abhishek Sharma, Gudakesh Motie strikes again, as he spins a web around Naman Dhir who gets out for a golden duck. India have now lost half their side, and they need 116 to win from the last 8 overs with Tilak Varma and Nitish Kumar Reddy in the middle. India now need to pull off a miraculous recovery from here.

• 14 Oct 2026, 10:06:53 PM IST

  Abhishek Sharma departs!!

  India lose their fourth wicket, as the target is slipping further and further away. Abhishek Sharma departs for an uncharacteristic 29-run innings from 24 deliveries. Gudakesh Motie takes a wicket in just the third ball of his spell.

• 14 Oct 2026, 10:00:51 PM IST

  10 overs left, a mountain to climb!!

  India have scored 115 in the first 10 overs, but require a massive 133 runs in the back half of the innings. The good thing is Abhishek Sharma still is in the middle, but he does not look his usual self. He needs just one good shot to get back into the groove.

• 14 Oct 2026, 09:49:05 PM IST

  Another wicket down!!

  India lose their third wicket, and this time it is the crucial scalp of the captain Shreyas Iyer. The Men in Blue now fall into further trouble, as the innings has lost steam after the fall of the wicket of Sanju Samson. The onus is now on Abhishek Sharma, who has not looked in touch so far. Can the Sunrisers Hyderabad version of Abhishek please show up on his IPL home ground?

• 14 Oct 2026, 09:37:15 PM IST

  Good powerplay for India!!

  Despite losing two wickets, India have gotten off to a great start in their record run chase of 248. In the powerplay, the Men in Blue have scored 80 runs for the loss of two wickets. Shreyas Iyer is still at the crease, alongside Abhishek Sharma, who has hardly got any strike. He has faced just 8 balls in the first 6 overs.

• 14 Oct 2026, 09:34:06 PM IST

  Another wicket falls!!

  India now fall into a spot of bother as Keemo Paul takes two big wickets in his very first over. After Sanju Samson's wicket fell, Ishan Kishan departs two balls later after scoring 6 runs. After getting off to a good start, India are now suddenly in some trouble.

• 14 Oct 2026, 09:27:03 PM IST

  Samson OUT!!!

  Oh no!! Out of nowhere, Sanju Samson departs against the run of play. Keemo Paul strikes in the very first ball of his spell, as Samson hits the ball into the hands of Shimron Hetmyer in the deep, who takes a very good catch. India have lost their first wicket after getting off to a good start.

• 14 Oct 2026, 09:24:03 PM IST

  Fifty for Samson!!

  Sanju Samson is looking like the player that he was during the T20 World Cup 2026. He has faced 20 out of the first 22 balls, and has reached his half-century. For a change of scenery, it is Abhishek Sharma who is playing second fiddle, with someone else leading the charge. India are now in the driver's seat with this blistering start.

• 14 Oct 2026, 09:15:42 PM IST

  Good start by Sanju Samson!!

  Sanju Samson has powered India to a good start to the innings, especially after seeing off the first few deliveries. He went berserk in the second over, as they scored 25 in the first tow overs, and it is the CSK star who is scoring the bulk of the runs, while Abhishek Sharma watches on waiting for his turn.

• 14 Oct 2026, 09:04:07 PM IST

  India need to pull off record chase!!

  India need 248 runs to win this game. The highest successful run chase that India have pulled off in T20I history is 211 against Sri Lanka way back in 2009. The highest second innings score for India in T20Is in 244 against West Indies in a losing cause. Hence, the Men in Blue need to bat out of their skins to pull off a record run chase.

• 14 Oct 2026, 09:01:59 PM IST

  Century for Shai Hope!!

  Shai Hope scores his second century of the series, as he continues his golden run of form in the tour of India. This is Hope's 3rd T20I century of his career, as he becomes the leading century maker for West Indies surpassing the legendary Chris Gayle. West Indies have put up 247 on the board. India need 248 to win.

• 14 Oct 2026, 08:30:04 PM IST

  200 up for West Indies

  After going quiet for the first few deliveries, Sherfane Rutherford shifted gears, as he too joins Shai Hope in hammering the Indian bowlers. The duo have now put on another 50-run stand for the fouth wicket. West Indies have also crossed 200, and with 3 overs remaining, a score of 250+ is still in sight.

• 14 Oct 2026, 08:18:51 PM IST

  Shai Hope equals Virat Kohli!!

  Shai Hope is now the fourth captain in history to hit three 50+ scores in a bilateral T20I series, after Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav and Sahibzada Farhan. He is the first away captain to do so against India. This is now Hope's fifth 50+ score in the tour, including two hundreds in ODIs and three fifties in T20Is. What a tour the West Indies captain is having

• 14 Oct 2026, 08:09:46 PM IST

  Rovman Powell departs!!

  West Indies have lost their third wicket of the night, a Arshdeep Singh finally gets a wicket after being extremely expensive in his first three overs.

  Shai Hope continues golden form!!

  Another brilliant innings from Shai Hope tonight, as his golden tour of India continues. The West Indies captain brings up yet another half-century, as he looks to guide West Indies to a big total. In fact, he breached the mark it in style as he hit Mayank Yadav straight over his head for a maximum.

• 14 Oct 2026, 07:52:57 PM IST

  DRINKS BREAK!!

  After the first 10 overs of the game, West Indies are in a strong position despite losing two wickets. They have scored 118 runs, and if they continue this form, they will definitely eye something in excess of 250. We see Gautam Gambhir walking out to the field as well. What instructions will he give to the bowlers?

• 14 Oct 2026, 07:46:01 PM IST

  Another wicket down!!

  West Indies lose their second wicket, but not before unleashing some more carnage on India. Shimron Hetmyer and Shai Hope put on 50 runs for the 2nd wicket, but it was Prince Yadav who got the breakthrough. He picked up a solid catch off his own bowling, as Hetmyer was dismissed after scoring 33 from 12.

• 14 Oct 2026, 07:37:21 PM IST

  Massive powerplay for West Indies!!

  WICKET for India!!

  India can now finally breathe a sigh of relief, as Axar Patel strikes with his golden arm. Jewel Andrews is the first wicket to fall, as the spinner traps him LBW. The question now is if this wicket can halt the run scoring for the visitors.

• 14 Oct 2026, 07:21:57 PM IST

  West Indies off to flyer!!

  After a quiet first over, West Indies have gone hell for leather, with Jewel Andrews and Shai Hope hitting the bowlers all over the park for boundaries and sixes. They have now put together a 50-run stand for the opening wicket.

• 14 Oct 2026, 07:12:06 PM IST

  Arshdeep leaks runs!!

  In the second over of the match, Arshdeep Singh was not at his best, as he missed the mark mostly with his line and length. Jewel Andrew took him to the cleaners, as he slammed some massive boundaries, hitting 17 runs off the over. West Indies are now slowly getting into the act.

• 14 Oct 2026, 07:07:40 PM IST

  Mayank breathes fire!!

  Mayank Yadav has continued bowling at the raw pace that troubled batters in all three previous games so far. His pace was lethal for the openers Shai Hope and Jewel Andrews, as he gave away just three runs in the over.

• 14 Oct 2026, 07:02:15 PM IST

  Action begins!!

  We have a new opening duo for West Indies, as young Jewel Andrew partners with the in-form Shai Hope. We have Mayank Yadav who has opened the bowling for India. Let's see who gets the upper hand.

  Team India have won the toss and have opted to field first. At the toss he said that the pitch was 75% red soil and 25% black soil, meaning that it might not be a run fest that all were expecting. They go in with the same combination as the last game, as Iyer announced that they will field the same playing XI.

  Another run feast loading?

  The pitch at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad has been a massive run-scoring venue in the IPL 2026, where the average first innings score was a massive 209. In fact, dew is also likely to come into the play under the floodlights. Hence, we can expect another massive run feast.

• 14 Oct 2026, 06:06:32 PM IST

  India's perfect record at Hyderabad!!

  There have been three T20Is at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad so far, and it has always been a happy hunting ground for India.

• 14 Oct 2026, 05:48:02 PM IST

  India have chance at series win!!
