West Indies fall short in another high-scoring contest

INDORE, India (CMC) — India’s bowlers held their composure this time around to deny a gutsy run chase by West Indies and take the third Twenty20 International (T20I) by 14 runs at the Holkar Cricket Stadium here on Sunday, in another high-scoring affair.

For the first time in the series the team batting first prevailed, with Abhishek Sharma’s blistering 69 off 30 balls along with several other crucial cameos from their middle- and lower-order batters propelling India to 223 in their 20 overs.

The visitors were then unable to replicate Friday’s record-breaking performance, only managing to get up to 209 for seven before running out of overs.
