Match result

  • India: 223 all out in 20 overs.
  • West Indies: 209/7 in 20 overs.
  • Result: India won by 14 runs.
  • Series: India lead 2–1 in the five-match T20I series.

The result leaves West Indies needing to win the next match to draw level, while India will have an opportunity to move one win away from securing the series. The final outcome will depend on performances in the remaining fixtures rather than the series position alone.

What the scoreline tells us

A target of 224 requires sustained scoring throughout the chase, and West Indies’ final total of 209/7 shows they remained in the contest but fell short by 14 runs. The scoreline alone does not establish which individual phases decided the match; detailed batting, bowling and partnership statistics should be checked against the official scorecard before drawing conclusions about player performance.

What comes next

The fourth T20I becomes a key fixture in the series. India will aim to convert the lead into a series win, while West Indies must respond to keep the contest alive. Readers should check the official team and broadcaster schedules for the confirmed venue and start time of the next match.
