Key Stats Ahead of Rain‑Hit India-West Indies Final T20

All eyes are on the final T20 where India and West Indies will battle for series supremacy under a looming rain cloud. The series is dead‑locked at 2‑2, and a win for either side will clinch the trophy. Weather analysts predict a 90 percent likelihood of heavy rain on Saturday, with the highest intensity expected after sunset. Continuous dark cloud cover could disrupt play for extended periods.

M. Chinnaswamy’s advanced drainage system is designed to minimise downtime, yet officials have warned that only a few overs may be possible if the rain persists. The match could be shortened in line with the Duckworth‑Lewis‑Stern method.

Last week’s encounter showcased West Indies’ batting firepower: Shai Hope struck a blazing 102 off 50 balls and Sherfane Rutherford added 49 off 26, guiding the side to a 247‑3 total and a 24‑run chase success. Indian bowlers Arshdeep Singh and Mayank Yadav each conceded 52 runs in four overs, while Akshar Patel and Nitish Kumar Reddy also went expensive.

India’s reply fell short of the 248‑run target, ending at 223‑9. Sanju Samson’s 56, Tilak Varma’s 43 and Nitish Kumar Reddy’s 41 were the highlights, but early wickets fell to the West Indian bowlers, and the top order could not rebuild.
