West Indies
So, Shikhar Dhawan collects the trophy and hands it over to Avesh Khan. The whole team celebrates as they pose for the camera. Now, the focus moves to the shortest format of the game. These two teams will compete for the 5-match T20I series. The first game is on Friday, 29th July at 8 pm IST (2.30 pm GMT). Do join us for the build up as well. Till then, goodbye and cheers.
The skipper of India, Shikhar Dhawan says the boys are young but they played brilliantly and the maturity they showed was very good and he is proud of them. States he is pleased with his form, he has been playing this format for a long time and he knows how to bat but at times he falls in the attempt to take a risk but he is fine with it. Credits Shubman Gill for the way he played and it was amazing to watch him play. He thanks the crowd for their support and says he is very grateful.
Nicholas Pooran, the skipper of West Indies, says it was a tough one for them, they could have won the series too but it did not go their way, they did not happen to show up today but they tried their best and he hopes they can do better the next time. States he felt 257 was chasable but it was going to be a challenge however, early wickets did not help and that is where they lost the game. Ends by saying the youngsters got good exposure and he hopes to go strength to strength from now on and is looking forward to the T20I series before the New Zealand series.
Shubman Gill is the Player of the Match and Player of the Series as well for contributing with his bat throughout the series. He says he wanted to get a ton but it is not in his control but he is pleased with how he played. Adds he was disappointed the way he got out in the first two games and now he wanted to spend time in middle. Admits he wanted to bat just the one over to get to his ton. Reckons the wicket was a good one to bat on but the ball was gripping a bit later on.
Presentation coming up...
Earlier in the day, after electing to bat, the Indian openers got their side off to a lovely start before rain intervened. It was the Shubman Gill show post the rain break and he deserved a ton. It would have well been one had rain not played a part and cut short the Indian innings. However, the hosts had to chase a target of 257 in 35 overs which they failed to do so comprehensively.
For India, all the bowlers bowled well. Everybody had a wicket to their name apart from Hooda. He though kept it tight and did a handy job. Siraj started the proceedings and took two wickets while Yuzvendra Chahal made sure the lower order doesn't play much. He ended with four wickets. Overall, it was a comprehensive show by the visitors.
The start was disastrous for the hosts as they lost two in one over. Then Shai Hope and Brandon King steadied the ship but Hope fell when it was time to accelerate. Brandon King and Nicholas Pooran then tried to get things on track but whenever Windies looked like getting a move on, they lost a wicket. They needed someone to go big but that wasn’t the case and in the end, they have not even come close to the target.
Quite an easy win in the end for India! 257 runs in 35 overs was never going to be an easy chase and the Windies have fallen well short of it and INDIA HAVE INFLICTED THE WHITEWASH!

India
We are back for the chase. The players are out in the middle. Shai Hope and Kyle Mayers to open for the Windies. Deepak Hooda to start with the ball. A bit of delay as the groundsman is rolling the pitch.
... THE CHASE....
West Indies never looked up for it, they were poor with the ball and not at their best in the field. Can they do wonders with the bat? Not going to be easy as they have a mammoth task on hand. Stay tuned for the chase.
After electing to bat, Gill along with Dhawan set the base for the Indians. Dhawan though fell in quick succession and then there was a long break. The game was reduced to a 40-over per side game and after the delay, India came out all guns blazing. They scored freely and from nowhere, they got their run rate to over 6. Gill continued to play the architect and the rest played around him. India were all set for a grand stand finish with Gill eyeing a ton but it was rain again who played spoilsport and that was also the end of the Indian innings.
THAT IS THE END OF THE INDIAN INNINGS! This is the fear Shubman Gill had on his face while walking off and that has fear has turned out to be true. Maybe he needed just another over or another ball to get to that ton but it wasn’t to be. His team though will be mighty proud of him as his knock as taken India to a strong total.
Update - 12.50 am IST (7.20 pm GMT, previous day) Good news! The rain has stopped and the play will resume at 1.05 am IST (7.35 pm GMT, the previous day). A 35-over contest.
Update - 12.41 am IST (7.11 pm GMT, previous day) - Still, no update so it is fair to say that might be the end of India's innings. Shubman Gill will certainly not be happy but it was a wonderful innings from him.
Meanwhile, in the clash between England and South Africa. There is absolute carnage at Bristol as the Englishmen are putting on a show with a bat. Switch the tabs and enjoy the action there as we wait for further updates.
Update - 12.13 am IST (6.43 pm GMT, previous day) - YET ANOTHER RAIN DELAY! Gill is not happy as he walks off! He was just two away from his first ton and now he has to wait. It is not even certain if he will get a chance to get to it. The covers come on and the players go off. You have to feel for Shubman Gill. The young man is standing on 98 and could have easily thought of another two runs but the rain is against him. He needs just two runs to get to his maiden ton but the chances are very thin for him to bat again.

We are back with the action. The players are out in the middle. Iyer and Gill to resume their innings. Hayden Walsh (6-0-30-1) to start after the break.
Update - 11 pm IST (5.30 pm GMT) - Good news folks! The match is set to resume at 11.15 pm IST (5.45 pm GMT). We have lost 10 overs. 40-overs per side game.
Update - 10.52 pm IST (5.22 pm GMT) - The rain has stopped and the covers are completely off. It is sunny out there. We have lost some overs but the official number will be updated soon. Stay tuned as the resumption is near.
Anybody following the TNPL? Well, that has just got interesting, Gandhi has fallen now and there are relatively two new batters out there. Chepauk need 45 in 30.
Update - 10.36 pm IST (5.05 pm GMT) - The news is, it is not raining and it has gotten a lot brighter too, however, the covers are firmly placed and our wait continues.
Update - 10.22 pm IST (4.52 pm GMT) - We are now in the zone where we start losing overs so we are for sure going to get a shortened game now.
Update - 9.59 pm IST (4.29 pm GMT) - Well, the covers are coming on again. It hasn’t started to rain but it is cloudy, maybe they are expecting rain. The start that was scheduled maybe will be pushed ahead now. The rain has just got very heavy and we are yet again in for a long delay.
Update 9.50 pm IST (4.20 pm GMT) - The live visuals show the rain has stopped but there is a huge dark cloud hovering around. The groundstaff are getting the pitch ready. Looks like we might have the resumption soon. The Windies players are in a huddle near the ropes.
Update - 9.44 pm IST (4.14 pm GMT) - We have some news for you. The play was about to start in a few minutes but it has gone dark again and the covers are placed on the pitch again. The waiting game continues. It is not raining currently but the groundsmen are expecting some heavy showers. They have covered the whole ground now. Stay tuned for further updates.
Update - 9.36 pm IST (4.06 pm GMT) - We might be in for a shortened game here! Not long before we start losing overs and it is still pelting down. Windies though won’t mind a shortened game right?
Update - 9.12 pm IST (3.42 pm GMT) - We do not return with good news! The rain continues to fall and the wait continues. Windies will be really disappointed, they were just getting in the game and the rain decided to intervene.
While we wait for the play to resume here. You can switch the tabs and enjoy the action between New Zealand and Scotland. New Zealand have posted a huge score in the first T20I and Scotland have begun their chase. Switch the tabs but keep an eye here as well for further updates.
Update - 8.47 pm IST (3.17 pm GMT) - It has started to rain and THERE WILL BE A RAIN DELAY as the covers come on! Let us hope that it does not stay for long and we resume quickly. However, the bigger sheets are coming on too now, maybe the groundstaff are expecting some more rain. Stay tuned.
The groundstaff are getting ready as it has started to drizzle.

DRINKS! India have begun brilliantly! They were quite watchful at the start but now are scoring freely. Dangerous signs for West Indies as if they do not pick wickets, they could yet again be chasing a big score. West Indies on the other hand, will hope this break goes their way and they can pick wickets after this one. An important passage of play awaits.

We are all set for the action. The players are already out in the middle. Shikhar Dhawan and Shubman Gill are the openers for India. Jason Holder to start with the ball. The players take the knee as they support the BLM movement. Let's play...Just a bit of delay as Dhawan has some issues with the sightscreen.
Sanju Samson is up for a chat. He says it's his first time in Trinidad & Tobago and he is enjoying his time here. Adds that with wicket-keeping, he anticipates what the bowler will bowl and he is happy to do his job behind the stumps. On his half-century in the previous game, he says he loves to contribute to the team.
West Indies (Playing XI) - Shai Hope (WK), Kyle Mayers, Shamarh Brooks, Brandon King, Nicholas Pooran (C), Jason Holder (In for Rovman Powell), Keacy Carty (In for Alzarri Joseph), Keemo Paul (In for Romario Shepherd), Akeal Hosein, Hayden Walsh, Jayden Seales.
India (Playing XI) - Shikhar Dhawan (C), Shubman Gill, Shreyas Iyer, Suryakumar Yadav, Sanju Samson (WK), Deepak Hooda, Axar Patel, Shardul Thakur, Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna (In for Avesh Khan), Yuzvendra Chahal.
Nicholas Pooran, the captain of West Indies says they do have enough to get over the line despite two heartbreaks. States they want to bat the fifty overs. Informs they have made three changes - Holder, Paul and Carty are in.
Shikhar Dhawan, the skipper of India, says both the games have been high scoring and they want to put a good total on the board. States it has gone well for them, everyone is performing and it is good to see that. Mentions he feels intent is important and he feels the more youngsters play, the more they’ll get better. Informs they have one change, Prasidh Krishna comes in for Avesh Khan.
TOSS - India have won the toss and they have elected to BAT first!
India on the other hand, continue to win. Irrespective of who plays for them, they just find a way to come out on top. That speaks volumes about how good their players are. They though would be eager to inflict a whitewash here and are favourites to do so. It will be interesting though to see if they tinker with their XI or not. Stay tuned for the toss in a bit…
