India and the West Indies were set to clash against each other in the deciding T20I of the five-match series at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Saturday, October 17. However, the match was hit by rain, and the toss has also been delayed.
Both sides have won two games each. India made a great start in the series by winning the first game by 8 wickets, courtesy of Shreyas Iyer‘s century. However, they later lost the second match by six wickets after the West Indies skipper Shai Hope scored a century.
The three-time T20I World Cup champions later made a comeback by winning the third game by 14 runs, but ended up losing the fourth by 24 runs, where Shai Hope scored another century. The 2-2 series score makes the last game significantly important. Thus, given the importance of the game, the match is expected to be a five-over game.
