India vs West Indies 2019, 3rd T20I: 3 talking points from India's win

#2 Lack of quality in the powerplays cost West Indies

India picked up three quick wickets in the powerplay

It can be said that the way West Indies played in both the batting and the bowling powerplays cost them the game.

During the bowling powerplay, they were taken to the cleaners by Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul; the visitors' bowling contingent looked devoid of ideas during the first six overs. They gave away 72 runs in that period, without taking a single wicket.

They didn't exactly bowl in the wrong areas but they certainly could have been much more smart and varied with their performance in the face of the Indian openers' brutal assault.

As far as the batting powerplay in the second innings goes, West Indies couldn't have had a worse start. They lost three quick wickets in the form of Lendl Simmons, Brandon King and Nicolas Pooran, while scoring just 17 runs.

That meant the visitors were behind the eight-ball right from the start of their innings, and they never really recovered from those early blows.
