Iyer's unbeaten century steers India to eight-wicket win over West Indies
India chased 172 in Lucknow with 32 balls remaining after recovering from 35 for two.
Shreyas Iyer scored his first T20 international century on October 6, finishing unbeaten on 102 from 43 balls as India beat West Indies by eight wickets at Lucknow's Ekana Stadium. India reached 172 for two in 14.4 overs, according to The Indian Express's match report.
The chase had begun uncertainly, with both openers dismissed and the score at 35 for two. Iyer and Ishan Kishan then added an unbroken 137 for the third wicket. Kishan contributed 37 not out while Iyer accelerated after reaching his half-century in 28 deliveries.
India's spinners had earlier kept West Indies to 171. Debutant Naman Dhir returned three for 31, with Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav taking two wickets each. Together, the three claimed seven wickets for 90 runs.
Sherfane Rutherford's 56 and Shai Hope's 52 gave the visitors a competitive base, but India's middle-order partnership settled the contest well before the final overs. The result combines a personal milestone for Iyer with a decisive recovery after early wickets.
