New Delhi: Team India defeated the West Indies by 8 runs in the second T20I to take an unbeatable 2-0 lead in the three-match series. The series is being played at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata. The second T20 between the two teams was very exciting. In the match, fast bowlers Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Ravi Bishnoi made such a mistake, due to which Team India was once on the verge of defeat. However, in the last over, fast bowler Harshal Patel took over the command and gave the team the victory.
In fact, Bhuvi and Ravi had dropped important catches in this match, which could have been heavy. First, Ravi Bishnoi dropped the catch of Rovman Powell in the 15th over of the innings off his own ball. At this time, the West Indies needed 72 runs off 34 balls and Rovman Powell was playing on 28 off just 17 balls. In the end, Powell remained unbeaten on 68 off 36 balls. In Ravi's very next over, the second mistake was made by Bhuvneshwar, which was also Bhuvi's. He dropped an easy catch of Rowman on the 5th ball of the 16th over.
In fact, West Indies' Rowman Powell wanted to play the big shot. The ball stood up straight and stayed near the pitch. Bhuvaneshnner wanted to take this catch on his own ball, but he could not do it. At this time, Rovmen was playing on 38 off 22 balls and looked dangerous. West Indies needed 25 runs to win in the final over. Rovman Powell (54) on strike and Kieron Pollard on the other end were on one.
Only two runs came off the first two balls, but on the third and fourth balls, Powell hit two towering sixes. Now, the West Indies needed 11 runs off two balls. It was then that Harshal Patel dodged Powell by bowling a slower ball and could only score one run. 10 runs were needed off the last ball, but one run was scored on that too. Thus Harshal compensated for the mistake of Bhuvi and Ravi and gave India the match win.
