India-West Indies T20I cricket series

Overview

The first T20 International match of a five-match series between India and the West Indies took place at the Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow.

West Indies reached a total of 171 runs in 19.1 overs, driven by half-centuries from captain Shai Hope (52) and Sherfane Rutherford (56). Despite a middle-order collapse that saw the team fall from 107/3 to 135/8, a late contribution from Akeal Hosein helped secure the final score. Indian bowler Naman Dhir was a notable performer, claiming three wickets during the innings.

Individual milestones were recorded during the match, including Shai Hope tying for third place on the all-time list of most fifty-plus scores for the West Indies in T20Is. Additionally, Shimron Hetmyer set an unwanted record for being the most run out West Indian player in T20I history after being dismissed following a misunderstanding during a single attempt. Indian bowler Axar Patel also moved into third place for the most maiden overs in T20I history.
