India and West Indies ended their T20 series in a 2-2 draw after the final match was washed out due to rain. The fifth and last game, played in Bengaluru, saw India reach 118-5 after seven overs with Naman Dhir scoring 24 off six balls. However, the game was abandoned before completion.
The series, which had been closely contested, saw both teams win two matches each. The West Indies' captain, Shai Hope, finished as the leading run-scorer with 239 runs. Despite the lack of a result in the final, his performance provided his team with a positive outcome.
This draw marks the conclusion of a tightly fought series. The final match had been anticipated as a thrilling conclusion, but rain interrupted play. India's opener, Abhishek Sharma, struggled against targeted bowling, falling cheaply to Keemo Paul. Commentators noted his recurring weakness against straight deliveries aimed at his body, a tactic the West Indies had effectively used in previous matches.
The series result reflects a balanced performance from both teams, with neither side able to secure a decisive victory. The weather conditions ultimately determined the outcome, leaving the series tied.
