IND vs WI 3rd T20: Abhishek-Arshdeep shine as India go 2-1 up in the series
Abhishek Sharma's scintillating 69 and pacer Arshdeep Singh's crucial three-wicket haul paved the way for India's 14-run victory against the West Indies in the third T20I here on Sunday.
India now lead the five-match series 2-1.
Abhishek's 30-ball knock (6x4, 5x4) and his century alliance with Ishan Kishan (37) drove India's charge with the bat which was undone a bit by sloppy effort in the middle-overs.
India made 223 all out.
In reply, Arshdeep Singh (3/44) dealt a severe blow early when he cleaned up in-form WI skipper Shai Hope (5) in the second over, and accounted for Sherfane Rutherford (32) and Keemo Paul (10) later in the innings to seal the outcome of the contest.
The West Indies finished at 209 for seven.
The Caribbean side failed to recover from the early dismissal of Hope.
Shimron Hetmyer (43, 26b; 4x6, 6x2) got a lifeline early, but he did not really capitalise.
Hetmyer, who looked in rhythm for a long haul which the West Indies needed, was cleaned up by Naman Dhir
