Harshal Patel Says "Dampness" Made Bowling Difficult In Win Over West Indies In 3rd T20I

India pacer Harshal Patel said that the dampness in the wicket made it difficult for his side to hold on to the landing area in the third and final T20I against West Indies at Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Sunday. Suryakumar Yadav's 65-run knock was backed up by a spirited bowling performance as India defeated West Indies by 17 runs in the third and final T20I. "We spoke about it after the powerplay (the line and length). The ball was holding on to the wicket and therefore we wanted to keep it a little fuller. Whenever we bowled shorter they had the time to sit back and pull it. We had the conversation that we want to bowl fuller," said Harshal Patel after the game.

India vs West Indies, 2nd T20I: We did well to take it as deep as we can, says Kieron Pollard

West Indies skipper Kieron Pollard expressed disappointment after his side got thrashed by India in the second T20I of the three-match series here at the Eden Gardens on Friday. Virat Kohli and Rishabh Pant's quality half-centuries were backed up by a spirited bowling performance at the death by Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Harshal Patel as India defeated West Indies by eight runs in the second T20I. "He (Rovman Powell) was phenomenal today. His partnership with (Nicholas) Pooran almost got us over the line. We did well to take it as deep as we can. We can look at different ways as to how we could have gotten those eight runs. At the end of it, we can look at so many ways," said Pollard after the game.

India vs West Indies 2nd T20I: Rishabh Pant, Virat Kohli blitz seals the deal

Virat Kohli would fare was the sub-plot of the second T20I match at the Eden Gardens here on Friday. The handful of spectators allowed at the venue went home happy as India sealed the three-match series, taking an unassailable 2-0 lead, and Kohli too showed glimpses of his vintage form to hit his 30th T20I half-century. West Indies, however, did put up a much-improved show and at one time looked like taking the match away. Nicholas Pooran, who played a lone hand in the last match on Wednesday, got an able partner in Rovman Powell as the duo stitched together a 60-ball 100-run third-wicket stand to put India under pressure.
