India-West Indies T20 series ends 2-2 after Bengaluru washout

India and West Indies finished their five-match T20 series level at 2-2 after rain forced the deciding match in Bengaluru to end without a result on Saturday, October 17. The Economic Times reported that India had reached 118-5 in 7.4 overs when another spell of rain stopped play. This is a source-reported match snapshot, not a live score service.

Showers had already delayed the start and cut the match to nine overs a side. West Indies chose to bowl after winning the toss, and Keemo Paul dismissed opener Abhishek Sharma for six. Ishan Kishan gave India a rapid start with 30 off 10 deliveries, but the hosts could not complete their shortened innings. With the weather failing to clear, officials called off the match.

The fixture marked Chinnaswamy Stadium’s first international match in two years. It also left Bhuvneshwar Kumar without an opportunity to bowl on his return to India’s T20 squad—his first recall since November 2022.
