Varma came to the crease in the fourth over after Shubman Gill was caught at third man off Joseph and Suryakumar Yadav, playing his 50th T20I, was run out by a direct hit from Kyle Mayers to leave India on 18 for two. Varma added 42 for the third wicket with Ishan Kishan before the opener was bowled by Romario Shepherd for 27. After the dismissal of Varma, who hit five fours and one six in his 51, it was left to skipper Hardik Pandya with 24 from 18 balls to drag the Indians towards a half-decent target. West Indies made the worst possible start as Pandya removed Brandon King and Johnson Charles in the first four balls of their reply. Pooran, however, quickly found his range clubbing six fours and four sixes in his 40-ball 67. Mayers (15) and Powell (21) offered some support and West Indies appeared to be in control until Pooran hammered Mukesh Kumar to Samson in the covers.
From 126-4, West Indies lost four wickets for just three runs, three of them in the 16th over delivered by Yuzvendra Chahal. The third of those saw Shimron Hetmyer eighth man out, leg before on review for 22. At 129-8, they still needed 24 from the last four overs with just two wickets remaining. Joseph and Hosein, however, edged them to victory.
