India and the West Indies will square off with each other in the fifth and final T20I at the M.Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru on Saturday. The visitors registered a 24-run to level the series at Hyderabad.
Indian bowlers could not hit the right line and length and they were taken to the cleaners by the WI batters. Furthermore, the hosts also kept losing wickets at regular intervals in the run-chase of 248.
The Bengaluru pitch is expected to give a run-scoring fest and the bowlers could once again have their work cut out.
