Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 11 Oct, 21:24 · Archive

India beat West Indies by 14 runs in the third T20 International to take a 2-1 lead in the five-match series. India batted first and scored 223 before being bowled out off the final delivery. Abhishek Sharma dominated the innings with an explosive 69 off 30 balls, sharing a 108-run partnership for the second wicket with Ishan Kishan, who contributed 37. India had lost Sanju Samson early for three but recovered through Sharma's aggressive batting. A middle-order collapse followed Kishan's dismissal, yet the lower order sustained the momentum.

West Indies' chase faltered from the start when Arshdeep Singh dismissed captain Shai Hope for five after he missed a swipe at a delivery that jagged back onto his stumps. Shimron Hetmyer kept the visitors in the hunt with a brisk 43 off 26 balls before spinner Naman Dhir broke the stand. Axar Patel removed Rovman Powell, leaving West Indies struggling with the required rate. Quentin Sampson and Sherfane Rutherford briefly revived the chase but could not sustain the momentum as wickets fell regularly in the closing overs. West Indies finished on 209. Arshdeep was India's standout bowler with 3-44.
