The IND vs WI fifth T20I will be played on Saturday at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru.
Get ready for the final T20I between India and West Indies, which will decide the winner of the series. The series is at 2-2, and batters from both sides have enjoyed their times on the field.
India have not lost a bilateral T20I series against West Indies at home. Hence another defeat here will end that streak. That will put the hosts under a lot of pressure. Especially the way West Indies have fought back and proved the better side on a couple of occasions.
The final T20I is scheduled to start at 7 PM IST on October 17 at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru. Arshdeep Singh is injured, and Bhuvneshwar Kumar is back in the Indian squad after a wait of four years.
His experience of playing in Bengaluru can be crucial for India. West Indies have improved their bowling display match-after-match, and they did well with the ball in the last game. Shai Hope would be keen to become the first West Indian captain to beat India in India in the T20I series.
