India vs West Indies 2023 2nd T20I Highlights: Nicholas Pooran blew away India with 40-ball 67 to power West Indies to a two-wicket win in the second T20I on Sunday. Riding on Pooran’s explosive show, West Indies completed the 153-run chase with seven balls to spare. Pooran stitched a crucial 50-run partnership with skipper Rovman Powell after Hardik Pandya and Arshdeep Singh reduced West Indies 32/3 in 3.4 overs. Earlier, Tilak scored 51(41) and stiched a crucial 42-run stand with Ishan Kishan after India were reduced to 18/2 in 3.3 overs. India lost Shubman Gill and Suryakumar Yadav early. Ishan Kishan was then dismissed for 27(23), while Sanju Samson returned for run a ball 7. Hardik Pandya chipped in with 24(18), while Axar Patel scored 14(12).
Miscalculation by Hardik Pandya and that might have cost India the match here. He brings Mukesh Kumar for the penultimate over and Alzarri Joseph manages to dispatch a length ball for a six, with the ball bouncing right on the mid-wicket boundary cushion. The equation shifts into West Indies’ favour.
Akeal Hosein then wraps up the proceedings in style. Mukesh pitches it full, offers width, giving him enough license to swing hard at the ball, which races to the long-off fence.
West Indies complete the 153 run chase with seven balls to spare and win the match by two wickets. The hosts go 2-0 up in the five-match series. WI: 155/8 (18.5 overs)
