India clinch T20I series

Rohit Sharma’s 67 and Krunal Pandya’s all-round effort took India to a 2-0 lead in the T20I series against the West Indies with only a game left to play at Florida, USA yesterday.

After winning the toss for the second day in a row, Virat Kohli decided his team would bat first this time around. Rohit and Shikhar Dhawan got them off to quick start, taking the visitors to 52 for no loss at the end of the Powerplay.

The West Indian chase got off to a terrible start, as Evin Lewis was caught and bowled by Bhuvneshwar in just the second over, and Narine was bowled in the next over to leave his team eight for two.

India managed to keep a lid on things through some crafty bowling, and eventually they saw the back of first Pooran, well caught at long on by Manish Pandey, and then Powell, trapped leg-before, within a single over from Krunal.

Soon after, the players were shepherded off the field due to the impending threat of a thunderstorm, and after failing to get back on India claimed victory by 22 runs on DLS and secured the series, going 2-0 up with a game left to play. (ICC)
