In the riveting third T20I clash, West Indies took the crease first and managed to compile a total of 159 runs within the stipulated 20 overs. While this might seem like a modest target, India's opening partnership faltered early on. Yet, the dynamic duo of Suryakumar Yadav and Tilak Varma orchestrated an impressive recovery, stitching together an 87-run partnership that effectively rejuvenated India's competitive stance. Captain Hardik Pandya emerged as the hero, steering India towards victory with a resounding six off Rovman Powell's delivery in the penultimate over.

Past encounters have shown its propensity to assist run-scoring, as evidenced by India's commanding total of 188 runs during a T20I match here in 2022.
