West Indies Chase Down 249 to Win Second T20I Against India in RanchiPreviousNext

India posted a strong total of 249 for five in the second T20I against West Indies, with notable contributions from Sanju Samson and others. However, West Indies chased the target successfully, led by Shai Hope's unbeaten 102 and Sherfane Rutherford's 84. India head coach Gautam Gambhir highlighted Roston Chase's effective bowling but emphasized the need to improve defending high totals. India captain Shreyas Iyer cited the dew factor and narrow margin for error as challenges in defending the score, while praising both teams' performances.
