India vs West Indies 3rd T20I Highlights: Suryakumar Yadav's extraordinary 76 off 44 balls almost single-handedly helped India dominate the run chase and take a 2-1 lead. 

Suryakumar Yadav took the West Indies bowling apart. 
Suryakumar Yadav took the West Indies bowling apart. 

IND vs WI 3rd T20 highlights: Rohit Sharma gave India a quick start but then retired hurt in the second over after seemingly pulling a muscle in his waist or side. However that, and Shreyas Iyer's struggles, didn't matter at all as Suryakumar Yadav came out swinging. He smashed 76 runs off 44 balls and almost single-handedly took the match away from the West Indies. India now lead the five-match series 2-1 after three games.

IND vs WI 3rd T20I Live: India beat West Indies by seven wickets 

Well that was all about Suryakumar Yadav. 76 of the very best runs off just 44 balls. So good was he that India were not affected by Shreyas Iyer's below par strike rate at the other end and it turned out to be the partnership that took the game away from the West Indies. Meanwhile, Rohit Sharma has a “back spasm”, the BCCI informs us, which tells us nothing more than what everyone saw when he walked off the field. India will hope that their captain can continue in this series.

IND vs WI 3rd T20I: India 156/3 in 18 overs

They need nine to win off the last two overs, Deepak Hooda and Rishabh Pant in the middle. It is only a  matter of time now. 

Aug 3, 2022, 24:53:01 IST

India vs West Indies 3rd T20I Live: OUT! 

One all-rounder to another. Pandya deceived by the slow ball from Holder, goes for a pull and edges it to the keeper. 

Pandya c Thomas b Holder 4 (6), India 149/3 in 17.2 overs, need 16 to win off 16

Aug 3, 2022, 24:48:49 IST

India vs West Indies Live: FOUR! Pant in a hurry

Not perfectly timed from Pant but it has gone over midwicket and dribbles to the boundary. Pant has reached 26 off 20, India need 19 to win off 23. 

Aug 3, 2022, 24:39:08 IST

IND vs WI 3rd T20I Live: OUT! And the big show ends!

Suryakumar's magic show has ended but he may have won India the match already. Full and wide from Drakes, Suryakumar tries to drag it leg side again but ends up holing out at fine leg. The Basseterre crowd has got to witness a modern-day classic of an innings from SKY. India would be hoping that he can keep up this blistering form until the end of the T20 World Cup. It's all looking too good to be true at the moment.  

Suryakumar c Joseph b Drakes 76 (44) India 135/2 in 14.3 overs

Aug 3, 2022, 24:37:30 IST

IND vs WI 3rd T20I: FOUR! Suryakumar Yadav take a bow!

Good length outside off from Drakes that is angling away, Surya walks towards the length, gets down on one knee and sends the ball fine for a four. This is superhuman batting. 

Aug 3, 2022, 24:33:37 IST

India vs West Indies 3rd T20I Live: SIX! Pant joins the party!

Akeal Hosein actually bowls a no ball, something that he can't believe understandably. And to make things worse, Pant mows the free hit ball over long on. Pant has raced to 16 off 10 balls already and West Indies are in all sorts of trouble if they are going to get two-inform batters firing from both ends now. 

Aug 3, 2022, 24:31:58 IST

IND vs WI 3rd T20I: India 119/1 after 13 overs

Pant with quite a brilliant shot for four off the last ball of that over. Short outside off from McCoy but not wide enough, Pant actually turns on his toes and pulls it emphatically in front of square. 

Aug 3, 2022, 24:21:24 IST

IND vs WI 3rd T20I Live: OUT! Shreyas's struggle ends

Shreyas's struggle comes to an end. He goes down the track to generate some pace, misses it completely and is stumped. That is quite a pitiable innings from Iyer. Partnership between him and SKY ends on 86 off 59, off which Iyer scored just 24 off 27.

Shreyas Iyer st Thomas b Hosein 24 (27), India 105/1 in 11.3 overs

Aug 3, 2022, 24:12:21 IST

India vs West Indies Live: India 96/0 in 10 overs

The partnership between these two is on 78 off 51 balls and Shreyas has scored 19 of those runs in a whopping 24 balls. We are seeing two batters at very different ends of the form spectrum here.

Aug 3, 2022, 24:10:23 IST

IND vs WI 3rd T20I Live: FOUR! WHAT A SHOT FROM SKY!

Cue the background score of The Matrix franchise please. This is some extraordinary batting from Surya. Back of a length on off from Alzarri Joseph, SKY drops to his knees, bends backwards and ramps it over the keeper. He almost had his back parallel tom the ground when he connected. 

Aug 3, 2022, 24:05:12 IST

IND vs WI 3rd T20I: SIX! Half century for Yadav

What an innings this is. A nonchalant sweep of Hosein goes all the way and gets SKY to his half century. 

Aug 3, 2022, 24:00:45 IST

India vs West Indies 3rd T20I Live: SIX! SKY is flying!

And he also has the fielding positions working nicely for him. Short on off from Holder, Suryakumar goes for the pull in front of square. He would have been out if Brandon King was standing at the boundary ropes but he was standing inside and so SKY gets the maximum.

Aug 2, 2022, 23:59:23 IST

India vs West Indies Live: FOUR! 

SKY powers that down the ground. It takes one bounce just in front of the ropes and goes over. He has raced to 40 off 23 balls. 

Aug 2, 2022, 23:55:58 IST

IND vs WI 3rd T20I Live: End of powerplay! India 56/0

India are going at a very good click at the moment and have arguably made the most of this powerplay. SKY has been the main aggressor and is in 33 off 17 balls, Shreyas is on 11 off 14. 

Aug 2, 2022, 23:46:15 IST

IND vs WI 3rd T20I: BACK TO BACK FOURS! 

The flashing blade of Suryakumar Yadav! Drakes overpitches it a touch and Suryakumar drives it to the boundary. The next delivery is short and wide and he slashes at the ball to send it over point to the boundary again. India 49/0 in 5 overs. 

Aug 2, 2022, 23:36:09 IST

India vs West Indies 3rd T20I Live: ROHIT SHARMA WALKS OFF!

It seems the Indian captain has pulled a muscle near his waist or back while trying for a leg side swipe two bals earlier. This is quite extraoardinary. India have had a ridiculous schedule recently but Rohit is one of those players who have been rested for quite a lot of it.

Aug 2, 2022, 23:30:56 IST

India vs West Indies Live: DROPPED AND SIX!

Short from Alzarri Joseph and Rohit takes out his trademark pull. He is almost caught at the boundary by Drakes but he can't hold on to the ball. He had to jump and met the ball at full stretch so it was a difficult catch. 

Aug 2, 2022, 23:29:11 IST

IND vs WI 3rd T20I Live: India 9/0 after 1 over

Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav open for India, Obed McCoy with the first over but this time, Rohit takes a single off the first over instead of getting caught at short third man. Suryakumar then hits two fours. 

Aug 2, 2022, 23:14:58 IST

IND vs WI 3rd T20I: West Indies 164/5 in 20 overs

Hetmyer also fell to a run out in that last over and so a good last over in the end from Arshdeep Singh, just 10 runs given. But this is quite a competitive total and India have a tricky chase in their hands. 

Aug 2, 2022, 23:07:31 IST

India vs West Indies 3rd T20I Live: OUT! Powell goes down swinging

Powell hits two fours off the first two balls of the last over bowled by Arshdeep Singh. Goes for the big one again off the third delivery but this time, it comes off the toe end of the bat. He holes out at the advertising patch behind the bowler. 

Powell c Hooda b Arshdeep Singh 23 (14), West Indies 162/4 (19.3 overs)

Aug 2, 2022, 23:05:18 IST

India vs West Indies Live: SIX AGAIN! 

Hetmyer makes a big finish to the over and all of a sudden, Avesh has given away 12 runs in that. He tries to go back to the wide yorker but misses the length. Sends the ball back over the bowler's head for another maximum. West Indies 154/3 in 19 overs

Aug 2, 2022, 23:03:35 IST

IND vs WI 3rd T20I Live: SIX! Hetmyer finally connects!

Avesh veers off the plan of bowling wide yorkers, sends in a slow delivery outside off and Hetmyer is on to it like a rash. 

Aug 2, 2022, 23:02:19 IST

IND vs WI 3rd T20I: 14 balls since the last boundary

Well this is not what West Indies would have wanted. Two of their most explosive batters in the middle and we are into the second last over and they simply cannot do better than singles. Avesh Khan bowling the second last and he is following up in the good work done by Arshdeep Singh and Bhuvneshwar Kumar. 

Aug 2, 2022, 22:49:56 IST

India vs West Indies 3rd T20I Live: OUT! Mayers falls

A six off the first ball of the 17th over and then gone. Slower ball from Bhuvi and Mayers tries to pull. He gets a top edge that floats safely into the hands of Rishabh Pant. 

Mayers c Pant b Kumar 73 (50), West Indies 128/3 in 16.2 overs

Aug 2, 2022, 22:43:23 IST

IND vs WI 3rd T20I: Into the last 5 overs 

West Indies have a good platform but they really have to get going now. They are now 108/2 off 15 overs, Mayers is on 61 off 45 balls while Powell is on 1 off 2. 

Aug 2, 2022, 22:36:39 IST

IND vs WI 3rd T20I Live: SIX!

Pooran welcomes Bhuvneshwar back by sending the ball sailing over his head. West Indies are 107/1 and Pooran is on 22 off 21. Time for him to get a move on. 

Aug 2, 2022, 22:27:26 IST

India vs West Indies Live: SIX! 50 for Mayers

Ashwin misses his length and Mayers is on to it in a jiffy. Pulls him deep into the stands and reaches his second T20I half century. 

Aug 2, 2022, 22:26:24 IST

IND vs WI 3rd T20I Live: West Indies 77/1 after 12 overs

Steady does it from Mayers and Pooran. They are just dealing in singles and an occassional boundary at the moment, minimising risk. 

Aug 2, 2022, 22:15:51 IST

IND vs WI 3rd T20I: 10 overs gone, West Indies 65/1

The run rate has dropped off after that first wicket, and after the field spread of course. Captain Nicholas Pooran is out there and he has scored just three runs in eight balls. Mayers, meanwhile, has reached 40 in 32. 

Aug 2, 2022, 22:02:34 IST

IND vs WI 3rd T20I Live: BOWLED HIM! 

Cleans him up! Pandya gives India the breakthrough and that is also his 50th T20I wicket. King looking for the big slog with the wind but Pandya takes pace off the ball. It smashes into the leg stump which goes off cartwheeling. 

King b Pandya 20 (20), West Indies 57/1 in 7.2 overs

Aug 2, 2022, 21:59:40 IST

India vs West Indies Live: End of powerplay!

King and Mayers have looked as steady as ever. King is on 15 off 17 balls, Mayers on 29 off 19 and India will want to break this partnership as quickly as possible. 

Aug 2, 2022, 21:56:45 IST

India vs West Indies 3rd T20I Live: FOUR! What a shot from King!

Spoils a brilliant sixth over from Arshdeep. He has bowled four dots so far, the last one being a pinpoint yorker outside off. He tries that again but this time he misses it, King presents the full face of the bat and the ball just shoots back down the ground for four.  

Aug 2, 2022, 21:50:04 IST

IND vs WI 3rd T20I: SIX! 

Hardik Pandya bowling the fifth and he had kept two fielders for the hook before bowling the 2nd ball of his over. Hook is what Mayers goes for and the ball sails over the two fielders for six. What a start Mayers has given the West Indies. 

Aug 2, 2022, 21:47:27 IST

IND vs WI 3rd T20I Live: West Indies 32/0 after 4 overs

Well India have burnt a review after Rishabh Pant arm-wrestled Rohit Sharma into asking for a review. Attempted bouncer from Bhuvi for the fifth ball of the fourth over that doesn't rise up and cramps Mayers up as he tries the ramp. The ball goes close to the glove before reaching Pant, who is almost the only one to appeal. When the umpire shakes his head, Pant makes the DRS signal himself and asks Rohit to take it. The Indian captain obliges and replays show that there was no contact after all. 

Aug 2, 2022, 21:43:40 IST

India vs West Indies Live: SIX! 

Avesh goes short next ball, Mayers anticipates it and rocks back to pull him over square leg for a maximum. Sensational stuff from Mayers so far. 

Aug 2, 2022, 21:39:16 IST

India vs West Indies 3rd T20I Live: FOUR!

Avesh bowls the third and Mayers bludgeons the second ball into the midwicket fence. Brandon King had hit a four in the previous over and so this has been a good start for the West Indies. 

Aug 2, 2022, 21:33:25 IST

IND vs WI 3rd T20I: West Indies 1/0 after 1 over

Deepak Hooda bowls the first over and just one run comes out of it. Bhuvneshwar Kumar bowling first change. 

Aug 2, 2022, 21:24:06 IST

IND vs WI 3rd T20I Live: Nicholas Pooran

"Wicket got slow in the second innings yesterday, so want to put up a respectable first innings score here. We utilised the conditions well with the ball. We continuously looked for wickets and certain things went our way yesterday. (Left-arm seam v India) We saw how Obed and Akeal bowl well yesterday. Something we thought about as well. We have an extra left arm seamer today instead of Odean Smith. Dominic Drakes is in."

Aug 2, 2022, 21:22:04 IST

IND vs WI 3rd T20I: Rohit Sharma talks

“We will field first, not because of the conditions, but this is what we wanted to do as a team. We want to capitalize on the powerplay, this is a small ground, a six hitting ground, but the average score isn't high so we need to keep that in mind as well. The guys have been given the chance to express themselves, so the high-risk shots come into play, but we do understand that. I don't know about that (if India has a weakness against left-arm pace). As a team we want to improve in all aspects of the game, but in the last few series, the left-arm seamers have done well against us. I don't see that as a concern. It's not that the guys are struggling, it happens when you're trying to score quickly. But we do need to understand when we come up against certain bowlers, we just want to come out and express ourselves, that's what we want to continue doing. Just one cnge, Jadeja has been rested, Hooda is in.”

India vs West Indies 3rd T20I Live: TOSS ALERT!

Rohit Sharma has finally won the toss and chosen to bowl first. 

Aug 2, 2022, 21:01:07 IST

IND vs WI 3rd T20I: West Indies' composition

Any T20 batting lineup with the likes of Nicholas Pooran, Shimron Hetmyer and Rovman Powell is intimidating but the West Indies have for some reason not been able to get the best of these players. Hetmyer has scored just 14 and 6 runs so far in this series, Powell has scored just 5 and 14 runs so far. 

Aug 2, 2022, 20:46:09 IST

IND vs WI 3rd T20I Live: Avesh Khan

Avesh Khan had a rather forgettable outing bowling the final over in the 2nd T20I. He bowled a no ball first up and then got hit for a six and a four and the match came to an end right there. 

Aug 2, 2022, 20:37:52 IST

India vs West Indies Live: The pitch

Just a few hours separate the end of the 2nd T20I and the start of the third and so there are no changes to the pitch apparently. Generally, this makes it a little more difficult for the batters to score freely. 

Aug 2, 2022, 20:27:00 IST

India vs West Indies 3rd T20I Live: How India pulled things back

They had just 139 runs to defend and it looked West Indies are cruising to victory for much of the first 12 overs. But India kept chipping away at their batting lineup after that and the dismissals of Nicholas Pooran and Shimron Hetmyer seemed to hurt the hosts the most. Opener Brandon King, who scored a masterful 68 off 52 balls. 

Aug 2, 2022, 20:14:23 IST

IND vs WI 3rd T20I: Obed McCoy's record performance 

Obed McCoy started the match by dismissing Rohit Sharma off the very first ball of the match. He ended with figures of 6/17, which was the best by a West Indies bowler in T20Is. 

Aug 2, 2022, 20:01:31 IST

IND vs WI 3rd T20I Live: India's predicted XI

Hard to see India making any changes considering the match is being played on the same ground as the 2nd T20I and Rohit clearly said he wants to provide a long rope to the younger players. If anything, India might just opt to rest Bhuvneshwar Kumar at some point this series but unlikely it will happen at this point. 

Openers: Rohit Sharma (Captain), Suryakumar Yadav

Middle order: Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant (Wicketkeeper), Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja

Lower order: Dinesh Karthik, Ravichandran Ashwin

Bowlers: Avesh Khan, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Arshdeep Singh

Aug 2, 2022, 19:51:01 IST

India vs West Indies Live: Delays and logistical problems

Just to recap on the drama that happened before the second T20I, Cricket West Indies said that there was a delay in the arrival of baggage into St Kitts and Nevis - the first T20I was played in Trinidad - because of which the match had initially been pushed back by two hours. Just minutes before the toss was scheduled to take place, news came in that the match has been pushed back by three hours. All this came on the heels of the development that the members of both teams have not received their US visas for the last two matches of the series.
