Final overs

- Ranchi, why did you change your nature this drastically? You've always been at least a little helpful but today you betrayed us, the bowlers screamed! Oh come on, if Roston Chase can, so can others. Stop bothering about me and see what best you can do, exclaimed the pitch. Seriously though, batting was easy once the dew set in. However, the bowlers still could have turned up better and asked more questions. It unfortunately turned out to be one of those modern days classics that is ruthless on the bowlers. Will we see an even contest between bat and ball in the next game? Oh ho! The next game is in Indore folks! The bowlers might well want to just put their feet up and ask them to use bowling machines. Because hey, those tiny boundaries and that placid pitch are no fun to bowl on! Will the curators have mercy on the bowlers and make batting challenging? Lots to look forward to on Sunday. See you all soon. Take care!
- Hope 2/2: [On Roston Chase's bowling] Amazing. On a surface and a field like this, to go at six runs an over is unbelievable. So he really kept us in the game. I know it was very difficult conditions to bowl on, so the way how he bowled and kept us in the game made it a lot easier for us to do that throughout the chase, that score. [Did you back yourself to clear boundaries?] I must say, all those SS bats that I have are pretty good. But yeah, the ball seemed to be travelling quite a bit here. Yes, the boundaries were a little bit bigger, but you just got to back yourself. Just once the ball's in my zone, look at the best option to get the boundary, and it just came off well today. As I said before, I got to get some luck going my way, and today was one of those days for me. [Is this the best you have batted?] It's a tough one. You know, when you're scoring runs, you're just happy. Maybe I could say it's a good streak I have with my form right now, but I just think the way I'm preparing, the way I'm trying to stay mentally fresh and ready is giving me the best chance of performing. I just hope it continues as long as possible. [Do you feel invincible in this form?] No, definitely not. I never try to get too high. I try to keep myself as neutral as I can.
- Shai Hope | West Indies captain | PoTM 1/2: [What were you thinking at 5/2?] That it's going to be a tough chase. But when you chase here in India, you always give yourself a chance. You always think you're in the game, regardless of what score is on the board. But five for two was always going to be challenging. [When did you think you could win?] When we got that partnership there, myself and Rovman, we just got some more impetus in the innings, and then obviously Sherfane came and did what he did, played really well with the bat, and just gave us that spark that we needed to get over the line today. [On letting Sherfane Rutherford dominate the partnership] Yes, the thing about cricket, I really believe that we need to bat a lot better in partnerships. It's something that we tend to lack every now and again, but sometimes you just got to sit back, as you say, and watch (your partner) play shots. In that situation there, as long as we kept going at the rate to keep up with the game, then I didn't need to take any unnecessary risk. I thought we were going really nicely, so just about calculating that chase as best we can.
- Shreyas Iyer | India captain: [How much is enough?] Honestly speaking, you cannot put a number to it, because when the dew factor comes in, it plays a massive role. And even 249 was chased in, like, with two overs to spare. So you cannot give a number, or probably anticipate that, okay, this is the number we would be trying to score. [Were you searching for another bowler?] The margin for error on this wicket is very minor, and any delivery if you miss to execute it, it was going onto the stands, and you could see how exceptional they were batting. So, a few missed chances here and there, but that's part and parcel of the game. But credit where it's due, they batted amazing, and yeah, kudos to them. [On Samson and Mayank] Both were phenomenal in their departments, and this is what we look for every now and then from Sanju and Abhishek. The way they've been performing consistently throughout, taking that responsibility and setting the pace for us- exceptional performances by them, and also Mayank. Those three crucial wickets, it was something that stabilized the rhythm for us up ahead, but then after that, the partnership came in, and the momentum shifted towards them.

Jacob Bethell too, had got there in 45 balls at the T20 WC 2026 at Wankhede. There have been 10 instances of a team hitting 20 or more sixes in a Men’s T20I featuring two full-member teams. West Indies (including today) and India have done that four times each, while Afghanistan and England did it once each. Most T20I hundreds for WI 2 - Chris Gayle 2 - Evin Lewis 2 - Shai Hope
- Rutherford 2/2: [What was the chat during your partnership with Shai Hope?] Honestly, it was just about enjoying it. When I went to him, I said, Listen, let's just try and bat as much balls as we could. I'm naturally a fast scorer. I naturally love to take the game on. So I didn't want to run away from that. So it was important for me to just play my game, and I know that once he is there also, it's even better because I can be as free as I could, and he gonna be there till the end. [On Shai Hope] I don't think there's much words to describe him. He is a phenomenal player. Even I look at him and I'm like, oh, how can you do it so steady so often? And I look at him and he inspires me a lot to work hard. Even when he's in the nets, I try to look at him. I try to take as much information. But I mean, the way he's doing, he needs credit. I don't think he got enough credit for what he's been doing, but Shai is a very, very great player and hopefully he continues for us and keeps getting better.
- Sherfane Rutherford 1/2: [What was your approach when you went out to bat?] First of all, I want to thank God for this opportunity and thank him for his grace and mercy. And, the mindset was clear. We know there's a lot of runs on the board. It's a good wicket. Yes, we lost early wickets, but I feel what was important for me to do is just continue to play positive with good intent. Intent doesn't mean reckless, but, you know, good position and gives you the best chance of capitalizing on bad balls. So I think it went well for me tonight. [What's been the key to your success this year?] Honestly, I never realized it was my best year, but, I mean, I've been working hard. I made a promise to myself that I want to be the best player in T20s. So it's good that my hard work is showing off. There's a lot of things been going on behind the scenes, and, you know, I'm very pleased that it's showing on the field. It's been (going) really well. [Did the conditions change during the second innings?] I don't think it changed much. It's a good wicket. We know that it's a high-scoring game. We were just trying to restrict them as low as possible. But I think in the last five overs, they actually got away from us. But as a batting unit, we try to make up for the bowlers. We try to work in partnership. So if the bowler doesn't have a good night, as a batting unit, we try to take it on our shoulders to try and make it up, and it actually went well for us tonight.
- 22:43 Local Time, 17:13 GMT: Cricket looks more beautiful when West Indies compete hard, doesn't it? On a day when 500+ runs were scored, there was man who bowled 4 overs and conceded just 24 runs and took 3 big wickets. This is him. This is all by him and being a finger spinner, he did it with a wet ball too. One of the greatest games ever for Roston Chase! When Mayank Yadav breathed fire and was on a hat-trick at 5/2, it looked impossible for West Indies. Rovman Powell and Shai Hope did a mini recovery but in walked Sherfane Rutherford at No. 5. He was on a mission - to be ruthless to that poor white cricket ball. He just didn't hit sixes, he showed no respect and killed that ball. Smashed it all parts for fun and instilled that belief for West Indies that they can pull it off. Shai Hope just hung around and eventually Rutherford's energy rubbed on him as well. Hope was even knocking only singles because he wanted to enjoy Rutherford's power-hitting from the other end. When Kuldeep got Rutherford, Romario walked in having left the field earlier while bowling due to a niggle. He didn't run hard between the wickets. He didn't have to because he was smashing sixes for fun as well. India had no clue after a point. Bowlers looked scrambled, dew didn't help either but at the end of it all, they wore smiles on their faces. They know that if they can do it to others, others can do it to them as well.

- 18.36Axar Patel to Shai Hope, SIX, and he decides to end it with a six and finish by recording his 2nd T20I hundred. The West Indies have pulled off their highest successful run chase in T20Is. This is also the second quickest hundred for West Indies in this format. Shai Hope is absolutely pumped, does a double first pump and celebrates with his partner at the crease. Full and outside off stump, Hope reached out to loft this over long-off. From 5/2 to hunting down 250 with 9 balls to spare, this is sensational stuff from the West Indies

Gets some help from the support staff to clean the dirt on his forearms with water

- 14.1WKuldeep Yadav to Sherfane Rutherford, out Caught by Sanju Samson!! It has already become the crucial over off the very first ball. The wide line works. They hid the ball wide of off in the IPL and troubled him. And India have managed to keep it wide again and end this mega show. So just like the first innings, a set batter on the charge for a hundred is out in the 80s. Flat and wide of off from Kuldeep Yadav, Rutherford tried to reach out and open the bat face. He actually played that off the face of the bat so Sanju's catch becomes even more special. Though the deflection wasn't huge it came quite quickly to the keeper and the they the ball nestled into Sanju's hands was so soft and soothing. Meanwhile Rutherford throws the bat up in disappointment, catches it and walks back to a great ovation. Sherfane Rutherford c Sanju Samson b Kuldeep Yadav 84(37) [4s-7 6s-7]
- Kuldeep Yadav to Sherfane Rutherford, THATS OUT!! Caught!!

- 13.4•Arshdeep Singh to Sherfane Rutherford, no run, brilliant yorker, Rutherford digs it out back to the bowler. Interestingly, Shreyas screams for a catch appeal but Arshdeep just gently appealed and walked back. Umpire review it seems. Ball hit the toe end of the bat, hit the pitch and then flew to the bowler so case closed

- 12.4•Naman Dhir to Sherfane Rutherford, no run, smart bowling. Naman fired this just inside the wide line. Sherfane Rutherford lets it go thinking it will be called a wide but it wasn't and Rutherford screams "heyyy" to the ump in anger

- 11.62Axar Patel to Sherfane Rutherford, 2 runs, back to the off-side ploy, squeezed out to sweeper cover
- 11.56Axar Patel to Sherfane Rutherford, SIX, oh it's a low full toss down the leg-side and he's almost hit this off the back of the bat over the keeper's head. Gee, he's swinging so hard at these cricket balls today. The first half of the over Axar tried to hide it wide of off, after Shreyas's chat he tried to bowl leg side yorkers and the plan hasn't worked
- 11.44Axar Patel to Sherfane Rutherford, FOUR, he is on a mission, to smash every ball that is bowled without mercy. Axar fied this on the leg-side, Rutherford slogged this behind square and got it wide of short fine leg
- Shreyas has a word with Axar
