Rain washed out the fifth and final T20I in Bengaluru on October 17 after India made 118 for 5 in 7.4 overs of a nine-over innings, and the series ended 2-2 with the trophy shared.
The result was unlucky for West Indies, who were a win away from their first bilateral T20I series victory on Indian soil. It also fits the series, in which the visitors hit 105 sixes, the fourth-highest in a bilateral series between Full Members, at a run rate of 10.98, the highest in such a series.
Among the West Indies bowlers, Keemo Paul took two wickets, Shamar Joseph dismissed Ishan Kishan, and Shamar Springer dismissed Sanju Samson and Tilak Varma, according to Outlook India.
The reports named no player of the series, so the draw is likely to be remembered for the batting power the visitors showed.
Shamar Joseph dismissed Ishan Kishan, and Shamar Springer dismissed Sanju Samson and Tilak Varma, according to the same report.
