Winner-takes-all: India and West Indies meet in Bengaluru with the T20I series locked at 2-2

The five-match T20I series is level at 2-2 after the West Indies' 24-run win in Hyderabad, setting up a winner-takes-all decider at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Saturday, starting 7 PM IST.
India took the opener by eight wickets and the third game by 14 runs, while the West Indies hit back with a six-wicket win in the second and a 24-run triumph in Hyderabad built on Shai Hope's unbeaten 102 off 50 balls and Keemo Paul's five for 41.
The decider moves to Bengaluru's M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, famous for short boundaries and big totals. Former India captain Sunil Gavaskar has urged the hosts to bat first, target 240-250, and tighten their death bowling after the Hyderabad chase fell apart.
The match begins at 7 PM IST on Saturday and will be telecast on the Star Sports Network and streamed on JioHotstar, with both sides knowing a single slip will hand the series to the opposition.
