In the third T20I encounter, India defeated the West Indies by a margin of seven wickets, thanks in large part to Suryakumar Yadav. Rovman Powell, the skipper of the West Indies, struck a quickfire 40 runs in 19 deliveries to help his team reach 159 for five overall.
The flow of runs in the middle overs was, however, restrained by Kuldeep Yadav's outstanding bowling performance of 3/28. Suryakumar saved the day with a superb innings of 83 off 44 balls during India's run chase after rookies Yashavi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill were down cheaply. Tilak Varma, who maintained his unbeaten status with 49 off 37 balls, provided him with strong assistance. India won with a six-run home run from Hardik Pandya.
With 10 fours and four sixes, Suryakumar's innings had plenty of boundaries. The highlight of his innings was a straight shot over bowler Obed McCoy's head. Following his dismissal, India easily surpassed the goal thanks to captain Hardik and Tilak. The momentum turned in favour of India thanks to Kuldeep's important dismissals of Nicholas Pooran and Brandon King.
The 30-yard circle was not demarcated, which caused a small delay in the game. With King and Kyle Mayers sharing a 55-run stand, the West Indies got off to a strong start. Axar Patel and Yuzvendra Chahal were brought into the attack, but the slower surface encouraged the use of spin early on. After the powerplay, Kuldeep came in and immediately began to take wickets, which was successful.
With three sixes in the final two overs, Powell's late attack enabled the West Indies to reach a respectable total. However, it was not enough to prevent India from obtaining a crucial victory to maintain their series' viability. The next match is set to take place on Saturday in Lauderhill, Florida, with the West Indies still holding a 2-1 advantage in the five-match series.
Overall, the key components of India's triumph were Suryakumar's game-winning innings and Kuldeep's bowling effort. The group hopes to maintain this momentum and tie the series in the upcoming game.
