The second T20I played yesterday was also delayed by three hours as the players' luggage couldn't arrive at the venue on time. As these two games are scheduled on consecutive days, the third T20I is rescheduled to ensure ample rest for the players. 


The series so far

After losing the first game by a whopping 68-run margin, the hosts made a remarkable comeback yesterday, handing the Indian team a five-wicket defeat. 


After opting to bowl first on a bouncy surface, the Caribbean men restricted the visitors to a paltry total of 138. Obed McCoy starred with the ball for the hosts, picking six wickets for just 17 runs. In this process, the talented left-arm seamer surpassed Keemo Paul and registered the best bowling figures by a West Indian in T20Is. 

West Indies chased the target easily, riding on Brandon King's half-century and a fine 19-ball 31* from Devon Thomas.
