Yesterday, Netherlands was beaten by UAE, what a surprise!! Netherlands was a far better team than UAE. Even though one of their opener scored 65, they weren't able to chase 152, nice to see little teams are getting win over big team.
Never expected such a poor series from WI.

At least this time around the WI were able to post a decent total for India to chase and make a competitive match out of it. Before the series started we all knew that India would win the series but I was hoping to see more fight from the WI which they finally showed in the third match. I just hope that the WI are more competitive in the ODI series coming up.
This match was little fighting, but with the power hitting batsmen West Indies have they should've at least reached 180. May be the improved game this time will help with the upcoming ODI which is scheduled to get started by tomorrow.

Strong Domestic System works great for any cricket and any sports there is not debate about this now we can say India is bringing some good and stunning players just with the help of IPL and this is going to be good for them in long term Saini and some more good and young players can change any match with good performance.
IPL really introduced the T20 to the world and many opportunities for the young talents to show case their talents on a grand stage and play alongside international superstars is always a great motivation for any young player, i do not know about the domestic circuit of India but they are producing great batsmen for a long time and they only lacked in bringing genuine pace bowlers but now India does have a strong pace line up too. After 2 wickets fell and with Sharma not there, I was a bit scared but glad they managed to get the runs and finishing it with a six. Kohli and Pant's partnership was extra ordinary today and they proved that they don't depend on Rohit alone. 3-0 :-D
Finally we saw Rishabh Pant scoring freely in international cricket and he remained not out chasing the West Indies total, we all knew about his potential but this is the first time he maintained his promise in the international cricket, India won the match with 5 balls remaining and white washed the series. Pollard played well for West Indies but Saini broke that partnership. With the introduction of IPL, India does have some strong players in the shorter format of the game.After 2 wickets fell and with Sharma not there, I was a bit scared but glad they managed to get the runs and finishing it with a six.

I disagree. There is a reason why he was fined which was due to his over the top send off which was needed in this case. Send offs are perfectly normal when done within some sort of limit, but breaching the limits causes these problems.
Doesn't matter whether you are an old player or a new player since the rules are the same for everyone. Newbies like Saini need to control their emotions in a better manner if they wish to succeed in the Cricketing world.
Come on buddy, why are these rules implemented, just to look good in television and cricket is a gentleman's game as they say and you are not able to express your emotions is just silly, all the great moments in cricket happened because of the battles that are created because of sledging and now a days the game is batsmen friendly with all the field restrictions, we want competitive cricket and everyone loves to see great battles.Doesn't matter whether you are an old player or a new player since the rules are the same for everyone.

146 runs. So, India will need to chase 147 runs. Better than the other T20s of the series. May be they have a chance in this match as The Hitman is not playing today.
I think the reverse. If Rahul and Dhawan put open partnership for some 40 to 60 runs then India may win easily. If the opening pair is failing to deliver then Kohli and Pant must click today for a 30+ score to make India to think about a whitewash.As today's match is being played in new ground (than the first 2 matches of this series) and West Indies are back to home conditions, I am unable to predict the outcome of this match hence staying away without betting for this match but keenly watching which may help me to predict for upcoming ODI series.

Today they have some decent runs on board as in first two T20 they fail to give any impression if they able to touch 140+ then surely we have some good competition because today India playing without Rohit and trying to something different.

They should touch 140 at any cost, nothing to lose here. just go bonkers against the bowler, who cares about the wickets at the end of 20 overs.
Edit
144 and one ball to go. one more six and final score can touch 150
~snip~
Nothing with the batsmen it's the bowler. DL Chahar was too good for them.

Give some credits to their poor form too
And the way Pollard batting right now they should get 40-45 runs easily...
Edit
Damn Pollard gone
Now 35-40 runs in 4 runs

What happened to Top 3 batsmen of windies, especially Narine and Hetmyer. they are not performing at all against this new Indian bowlers and they are used to play against them in IPL brilliantly.

Saini to Pooran caught behind.
Edit: 3rd wicket fell of WI. Looks like another low scoring 90-100 runs match.

RAHUL CHAHAR is having the debut today. What's his role on the team? Is he a allrounder? I can't remember him to see playing in IPL.
Bowler played for Pune, Rajasthan royal and now for Mumbai if i am not wrong. he and Deepak Chahar are brothers.
58 runs in the first 10 overs with 3 wickets down. There's no hope for West Indies, even though Pollard is still batting, they'd not be able to achieve any more than 150 at most. Which would be an easy target for India while chasing. Losing the toss was the first loss for the west Indies.

As like always, a poor start from WI, I thought they will at least win one match against India in t20 but no more hope left looks alike. This is really a poor performance from WI.
2 wickets already fallen and knew that the team batting first are going to have trouble due to bad weather.
Edit: 3rd wicket fell of WI. Looks like another low scoring 90-100 runs match.

He is a new kid on the block and fast bowlers are aggressive, giving a send off is not a wild behavior, rules like that are made to look good on television as they are paying huge amount of money to broadcast the matches and now they have stump microphone to capture every conversation too, have you seen the behavior of the players in the past and they would sledge you like anything but now you have to behave as if you are in a church

but his behavior was bad which is the issue here which is why he deserved the demerit in this case. I don't appreciate such wild behavior which is why I condone this sort of behavior.
There are far better bowlers out there who can maintain their composure in such cases. Calmness and stability should be the main priority for any sportsman basically which is why Saini needs to improve his behavior in this aspect.

.I thought rain has spoiled this match too, West Indies started batting now.
