Shai Hope scored an unbeaten 102 as West Indies chased down 250 to beat India by six wickets in the second T20 in Ranchi.
Shai Hope scored an unbeaten 102 off 45 balls as West Indies chased down 249 to beat India by six wickets in Ranchi, levelling the five-match series at 1-1. The successful chase of 252 runs was West Indies' highest in T20 internationals and the second-highest in men's T20 history, behind only South Africa's pursuit of 259 against West Indies in 2023.
West Indies were rocked early when pace bowler Mayank Yadav took two wickets in successive deliveries in the opening over, leaving them at five for two. Sherfane Rutherford and Hope revived the innings with a blistering 120-run partnership for the fourth wicket. Rutherford struck 84 off 37 balls before falling to Kuldeep Yadav, while Hope maintained the required rate and combined with Romario Shepherd to guide West Indies home with nine balls to spare.
For India, Sanju Samson scored 82 off 41 balls and Shreyas Iyer hit 40 off 18 balls, with a late partnership between Iyer and Tilak Varma adding 83 runs from 32 balls. Hope said: 'When you chase here in India, you always give yourself a chance. You always think you're in the game, regardless of what score is on the board.'
