All-rounder Axar Patel's unbeaten knock of 64 off 35 balls with the help of five sixes and three fours helped India beat West Indies by two wickets with two balls to spare in the second one-day international 2-0 in the three-match series. Took an unbeatable lead. India had won the first ODI by three runs.

Shai Hope's stormy century was in vain

After winning the toss and electing to bat, West Indies posted a massive total of 311 for six, thanks to a brilliant century from opener Shai Hope (115 runs) and half-centuries from captain Nicholas Pooran (74 runs) with six sixes. Chasing this target, the start of the Indian team was slow. But after half-centuries from Shreyas Iyer (63 runs) and Sanju Samson (54 runs) and a 99-run partnership for the fourth wicket between the two, Patel finally led the team to victory. Patel's six made the team 312 for eight in 49.4 overs to win the series. He also took a wicket for 40 runs. The team had scored 42 runs on a slow pitch for 10 overs without losing a wicket.

Axar Patel won India by hitting a six

Iyer was soon out leg before Alzarri Joseph's yorker. Although the Indian batsman took a review of this decision but it was in favor of West Indies. Thus ended the 99 partnership between Iyer and Samson. The team's score was 187 for four after 35 overs and the required run rate was 8.33. Samson completed his half-century in the 38th over by hitting a four off Jaden Seals, but was run out in the next over. Patel hit sixes in the 41st, 42nd and 43rd overs. He shared a 51-run partnership with Deepak Hooda (33 runs). Patel hit the fourth six in the 46th over. He then completed his half-century in the next over by hitting a four in 27 balls with three fours and four sixes. The team needed 19 runs in 18 balls to win and Patel hit the fifth six and gave the team victory with two balls to spare.
