India vs West Indies 2016, 2nd T20I Stats: Jasprit Bumrah breaks T20I world record
West Indies claimed the two-match T20I series against India 1-0 after the second T20I was called off due to rain. After winning the toss, India put West Indies in to bat and bowled them out for 143. But two overs into India’s response, the rain started and the game was eventually abandoned.
After being hammered all over the park in the first game, Indian bowlers bounced back strongly. Led by the incoming Amit Mishra and Ravichandran Ashwin, they took wickets at regular intervals and ensured that the batsmen never got away.
In the end that was the difference as they were bowled out for 143 and Mishra capped off his T20I comeback with three wickets while Ashwin, Bumrah and Sami all finished with two wickets in each.
In response, India were 15/0 in two overs when the rain came down, still needing 129 to win. But the rain did not relent and the delay in the start cost India dear as the match was called off and West Indies ended up winning the series.
