The score is 2-0 with three games left as West Indies defeated Team India by 2 wickets with 7 balls to spare in the second T20I in Guyana on Sunday. The home crowd was happy with the win. West Indies was the better team, but they almost let the victory slip away in the end.

India had to work hard and got help from Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya, and Ravi Bishnoi to reach a challenging total of 150. When Hardik took two wickets in his first over, India was in a good position. Mayers got out, but Pooran fought back with aggressive shots, keeping West Indies ahead.

However, after Pooran's dismissal, West Indies collapsed and lost four wickets in just 13 balls. Akeal Hossain and Alzarri Joseph held their nerves and made an unbeaten partnership of 26 runs, securing the victory for West Indies and preventing India from leveling the series. India could have scored at least 10 more runs. They bowled decently, but couldn't stop Pooran's strong performance.

LIVE India vs West Indies 2nd T20: West Indies take 2-0 lead

West Indies achieved a significant milestone by beating India in consecutive T20Is for the first time since 2016, thanks to a superb performance. Their victory was well set up by Pooran's dominant display with the bat. While he was at the crease, West Indies looked formidable, but after his dismissal, they struggled against India's bowlers. Mukesh Kumar finally got the better of Pooran, which allowed India to make a comeback. Chahal's legspin was the highlight of India's recovery, causing trouble for the West Indies batsmen. However, India's decision to hold him back until the last over proved costly, as they now need to win all three remaining games to clinch the series.

Hetmyer faces Ravi Bishnoi's delivery, but it doesn't turn much. The wide angle of Bishnoi's delivery gives the impression that it pitched outside leg during real-time play. India decided to review the on-field decision, but unfortunately, the ball wasn't a googly; it turned back in and Hetmyer missed his defence. The impact seemed to be hitting the stumps, but since the ball was pitched outside leg, LBW appeals cannot be pursued any further.
