After losing the second T20I in Ranchi, India bounced back in Indore, defending a total of 223 to win by 14 runs. India will aim to maintain their momentum and clinch the series before the final match in Bengaluru.
The Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium is known for its batting-friendly surface, true bounce, and quick outfield. Both teams have powerful batting lineups, setting the stage for another high-scoring contest under the lights.
India's bowlers then held their nerve to restrict the West Indies to 209/7. Arshdeep Singh led the attack with 3/44 in four overs, while Naman Dhir took two wickets. Axar Patel and Nitish Kumar Reddy also claimed a wicket each.
The West Indies struggled early in the chase after losing Shai Hope but fought back through Kamil Pooran (42) and Shimron Hetmyer (43). Sherfane Rutherford added 32, while Shamar Springer struck an unbeaten 35 off just 11 balls. However, the visitors lost wickets regularly and fell short by 14 runs.
The visitors will look to Hope, who has scored 367 runs in his last 10 T20 matches at an average of 45.88, and Rutherford, who has made 321 runs in his last 10 games at a strike rate of 170, to challenge India's bowling attack in the fourth IND vs WI T20I.
