Holder too have started his innings with a boundary.
Hetmyer lost his wicket and it will not be easy for them as they need to score over 15 runs per over from this stage and it is not an easy target as you are under pressure to score boundaries every couple of deliveries and it is not a happy task for any batsman and India scored an impossible target to chase, if not i am sure West Indies would have chased that down. India will pick up wickets or they will smash all the balls and the fielders must be really active to take those catches too.

Looking the first innings everyone have come to the conclusion as a one sided match. The same got reflected on the start of the second innings. Now Pollard and Hetmyer stands good and has begun to score for the team. Now by the end of seven overs West Indies have scored 60 runs losing three wickets.
Hetmyer and Pollard are taking on the bowlers and just now Shami dropped a catch of Hetmyer which might be crucial because if they keep on batting line this they can even chase this score as both are powerful hitters of the ball and they are clearing the boundaries with ease, the run rate keeps on increasing if they are not able score every over and that is an advantage as the pressure keeps on building and they eventually get out because of that

I think this was the most one sided T20 match involving India, that I have ever watched. Just when I thought that Sharma and Rahul destroyed West Indies, Virat came to the crease and removed whatever vestiges remained of the once great West Indies team. The so called T20 super powers are now reeling from the onslaught from Sharma/Kohli/Rahul.

West Indies lost their third wicket and it was a great catch by Dube.
West Indies lost 3 quick wickets but Hetmyer and Pollard are smashing the bowlers around the ground and they are dealing in sixes and fours and they are keeping up the run rate now and it is interesting how long they can continue to score like this as the total to chase is really huge and one more wicket and it will be difficult for them to chase but for cricket fans enjoy the treat as ball is flying all over the ground. The so called T20 super powers are now reeling from the onslaught from Sharma/Kohli/Rahul.
It was a real onslaught and they destroyed the West Indies bowlers, even though KL Rahul missed his century, Kohli just made look batting easy as he was clearing the ropes with ease and now West Indies lost their second wicket and there is no way they are going to chase this total and India will win the series with more drama as they lost one T20 and hence this is not a dead rubber.Edit:

I missed all the firework, started from 18th over. but boy oh boy, what happened to Indian top order and Captain Virat. That's how they are treating Guest in the Mumbai ground, its a home ground for pollard for god sake. not fair. 
Or this is batting friendly conditions?
I was surprised to see a huge total by India as West Indies now needs 241 runs to win the match and it is a huge total even it is a batting friendly wicket it is a difficult total to chase and with the kind of bowlers India has there is no way West Indies is going to chase this total and if they did it will be an upset, Rahul and Kohli were in tremendous hitting form and once again Pant failed to make an impact where everyone was able to score runs. Or this is batting friendly conditions?

Sanju Samson fans are about to get ballistic, as Rishabh Pant failed once again.
Rishabh Pant got out for a duck, and irrespective of whatever support he has from the captain and the coach, it is going to be very difficult for him to remain in the playing XI anymore. He was given so many chances and in the recent history no other player got this many opportunities. But even after that he has failed to perform in a big way.
It is really frustrating to see an inform player like Sanju Samson warming the bench while a player like Pant who is struggling get all the opportunity and he is missing catches as a keeper and a terrible one at that too, he needs some rest and i am sure Pant is under immense pressure to perform and so is the reason he is failing.Rishabh Pant got out for a duck, and irrespective of whatever support he has from the captain and the coach, it is going to be very difficult for him to remain in the playing XI anymore.

India crossed 200 and two more overs left and they could add 30 more runs to the total easily as KL Rahul is set to score a hundred here as he just needs ten more runs and Kohli is also striking the ball really well.
Edit:
Kohli reached his 50 in just 21 balls
. 
Indian openers started really well but West Indies opener Evin Lewis is injured in the field and it looks like he injured his knee
220 is easy from here and I guess it will be eventually. That would be not easy for West Indies to chase & if Evin Leeis get missed, chase will not be possible. He is one of the top batsman for WI. India is now at 193 after 17.3 overs. Again chasing seems to be the best option as WI after winning the toss decided to bowl and India is off to flying start as they are 151/2 in 14 overs . So WI may have to chase around 220+ the way India is batting and might have to make big score again .
Looks like the West Indies wanted to chase the total but they will be facing a huge total to chase and anything above 200 is a difficult score to chase even if you have the best players as India does have a good bowling attack and now their opener is injured and whether someone replaces him is still a mystery or whether he will be cleared to bat is another question, even today Pant went out for a duck and still India is expecting him to play match winning innings

Indian openers started really well but West Indies opener Evin Lewis is injured in the field and it looks like he injured his knee and he is carried away from the ground and it is doubtful that he will be able to play again in this match as he was in good form in this tournament, India is scoring at almost 12 an over and 220 will be the score they are targeting and since this is a series decider and no wickets are lost they could pick up the tempo to have a good finish.
What a start form Indian team openers they are making four's and six's rain there already scored 108/0 runs in 8 overs it looking Indian team going to give very big target for west indies well going Raul and Rohit.
Absolute mayhem out there and India has scored 132/0 after 11 overs. None of the West Indian bowlers have escaped punishment and it looks very likely that India may amass another 100 to 120 runs in the remaining 9 overs. We can expect a total of 230 to 250 and all that West Indies can do now is to pray to the god and hope for the best.

India is playing really well and they had the best starts in T20 for a long time, i do not remember a hundred run partnership for the opening wicket in T20 and they are easily clearing the boundaries with ease and with the way Sharma and Rahul is playing they can very well score above 200 runs with the run rate of 11.38 they will try to score around 220 to win the series as West Indies also have a good batting line up.

West Indies looking really clueless out there, and India has scored 44/0 after 4 overs. Both Rahul and Rohit are slamming the West Indies bowlers all over the park. Even the reliable Sheldon Cottrell has gone for a lot of runs, and I won't be surprised if India builds a score in excess of 220 or even 240. This is a repeat of the recent T20 series against Bangladesh.
