India take 2–1 T20 lead after Abhishek and Arshdeep deliver in Indore
A 14-run win on Sunday puts India ahead of West Indies, with the next match scheduled in Hyderabad on 14 October.
India enter the new week with a 2–1 lead in their five-match T20I series against West Indies after defending 223 in Indore on Sunday, 11 October. The visitors finished on 209/7, leaving India winners by 14 runs.
Abhishek Sharma supplied the innings’ early acceleration with 69 from 30 balls, including six fours and five sixes. Ishan Kishan added 37 from 18, helping India move beyond the early loss of Sanju Samson.
The chase remained competitive through contributions from Shimron Hetmyer and Kamil Pooran. Naman Dhir removed both batters, while Arshdeep Singh finished with 3/44 and the Player of the Match award. Shamar Springer’s unbeaten 35 from 11 deliveries narrowed the margin without overturning it.
The result leaves the series open rather than settled. The fourth match is scheduled for Hyderabad on 14 October, followed by the finale in Bengaluru on 17 October.
