West Indies and India are all set to square off in the fifth and final game of the five-match T20I series on Sunday, August 13. The Central Broward Regional Park Stadium Turf Ground in Lauderhill, Florida will be hosting this clash.
After trailing the series 0-2, India have made a stupendous comeback and managed to draw level with a thumping nine-wicket win on Saturday. The Men in Blue put up a dominating show as they chased down 179 with three overs to spare.
Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill recorded the joint-highest opening partnership of 165 for India in T20Is. Both batters played attacking cricket right from the get-go and never allowed West Indies to stage a comeback.
Jaiswal batted with grace as he stayed unbeaten on 84 runs off 51 balls with 11 fours and three sixes. Shubman, on the other hand, scored 77 off 47 with three fours and five sixes before Romario Shepherd accounted for his wicket.
For the hosts, Shimron Hetmyer scored 61 off 39 balls with three fours and four sixes, but his efforts went in vain. The Caribbean batters went hard, but West Indies could only manage a par score of 178 for eight, which in the end, turned out to be way short.
