India vs West Indies , 5th T20I at M.Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru , WI in IND, 5 T20Is, 2026 , Oct 17, 2026 Scorecard

7.4: Shamar Springer to Tilak Varma, OUT! CHOPS IT BACK ON! Shamar Springer gets his second wicket of the game. Springer goes for the wide yorker, bowling it seam-up, and he gets it pretty much spot-on. Tilak Varma has to reach for it as he tries to smash it through cover, but gets a big inside edge and the ball gets dragged back onto the stumps. A bit unfortunate for Varma, and India are now 118/5.

7.3: Shamar Springer to Tilak Varma, Superb stop in the deep by Keemo Paul. A low full toss, on middle, Varma gets low and powers it across, well to the right of deep mid-wicket. The ball hurries across the turf, but Paul puts the dive in and saves a couple of runs for his side.

7.3: Shamar Springer to Tilak Varma, WIDE! Attempted slower ball, full and wide, but this one lands a mile beyond the tramline outside off.

7.2: Shamar Springer to Naman Dhir, A tight single, but the batters make it through. Even fuller and around off, drilled to the fielder at mid off for a quick single.

7.1: Shamar Springer to Naman Dhir, SIX! Naman Dhir is on fire! This is more of a slot ball from Springer, as he pitches it full and just outside off. Dhir stands deep in the crease and then powers into the ball, hammering it over long off for another clean six.

6.6: Keemo Paul to Tilak Varma, No timing on that, but the ball falls in no man's land, and Varma even pinches the second run. Bowled back of a length over middle and leg, Varma goes to pull but skies it well in front of the incoming deep square leg fielder for a brace.

6.5: Keemo Paul to Naman Dhir, Good length on the pads, clipped off the pads to deep mid-wicket for a single.

6.4: Keemo Paul to Naman Dhir, SIX! This is sensational stuff from Naman Dhir, and the 100 is up for India in just 6.4 overs. Hard length from Paul, around the sixth stump line. Dhir extends his arms and slams it over long off for another biggie. He's on 16 off just 3 balls.

6.4: Keemo Paul to Naman Dhir, WIDE! Back of a length, pushed wider of the off stump and angling it past the tramline.

6.3: Keemo Paul to Naman Dhir, FOUR! A controlled hit now by Dhir, and he's off to a flier. Slower one, slightly into the pitch and outside off. Dhir lunges ahead, holds his shape and smacks it over mid off for a boundary.

6.2: Keemo Paul to Naman Dhir, SIX! Wow, what a start! Length ball, a bit fuller and slanting into the legs. Naman Dhir picks it up off the pads and flicks it with sheer timing over deep square leg for a biggie.

6.1: Keemo Paul to Shreyas Iyer, OUT! CAUGHT! Shreyas Iyer is finally put out of his misery. Keemo Paul hits the hard length and keeps the line in and around the off stump. Iyer lays into it and looks to club it over deep mid-wicket but gets it high off the bat and down to cow corner, straight into the clutches of Shamar Joseph, who makes no mistake. India are now 88/4.

5.6: Gudakesh Motie to Shreyas Iyer, Motie gets away with a bad ball. Another one darted onto the pads, and Iyer flicks it away, but off the inside edge and towards short fine leg for a single.

5.6: Gudakesh Motie to Shreyas Iyer, WIDE! This is pushed well wide of the off stump, beyond the tramline, and Iyer leaves it alone.

5.5: Gudakesh Motie to Tilak Varma, Full and at the stumps, slogged across to deep mid-wicket for a single.

5.4: Gudakesh Motie to Shreyas Iyer, DROPPED! Sherfane Rutherford has made a complete mess of that. Motie offers a bit more flight and pulls the length back. Shreyas Iyer looks to loft it downtown but mistimes it badly. Sherfane Rutherford comes in from long off but he's come too far and ends up fumbling it onto the chest. Not just that, but a wild throw results in overthrows and the batters get three runs in total.

5.3: Gudakesh Motie to Shreyas Iyer, FOUR! Easy pickings! Full and fast, into the pads. Shreyas Iyer gets inside the line and whips it behind square leg for another boundary.

5.2: Gudakesh Motie to Shreyas Iyer, FOUR! This could be the release shot Iyer was looking for. Good length, on off and middle, Iyer pummels it down the ground, one bounce and into the sight screen.

5.2: Gudakesh Motie to Shreyas Iyer, WIDE! Bowled flatter and targeting the pads, but this is spilled down the leg side.

5.1: Gudakesh Motie to Shreyas Iyer, Oh, deary me! Shreyas Iyer had given up hope of getting back, but his opposite number has let him off the hook. Motie darts this one in, angling it in with the arm. Iyer looks to heave it away but misses, and the ball thuds into the pads before rolling into the off side. This time Iyer wants the run, but Varma sends him back, and luckily for Iyer, Hope misses the shy.
