India and West Indies Set for Rain-Affected T20I Series Decider in Bengaluru
The India-West Indies T20I series is tied 2-2, with the fifth and final match set for October 17 at Bengaluru's M Chinnaswamy Stadium, marking the venue's return to international cricket after two years. India added Bhuvneshwar Kumar to the squad following Arshdeep Singh's injury, potentially marking his comeback. The match is expected to be high-scoring on a batting-friendly pitch, but persistent rain and thunderstorms forecast for the evening threaten delays or a shortened game. The toss was delayed due to rain, and officials will assess conditions before play begins.
