Axar Patel's fireworks clinch ODI series against West Indies
All-rounder Axar Patel hit an unbeaten 64 off just 35 balls to help India clinch a thrilling two-wicket win with two balls to spare against the West Indies in the second ODI at Queen's Park Oval in Trinidad on Sunday.
West Indies opener Shai Hope hit 115 in his 100th ODI to help the hosts post a competitive 311-6 batting first. That total seemed enough at one point but fifties from Shreyas Iyer, Sanju Samson and then the game-changing innings from Patel - in his first ODI series for five years - secured an unbeatable 2-0 series lead.
Patel cracked three fours and five sixes as India amassed 100 runs off the last 58 deliveries to win the match and extend their winning streak against the West Indies to 12 matches dating back to November, 2018.
Kyle Mayers, who had taken two early wickets and featured in two other dismissals, was entrusted with the final over with India needing eight.
