IND vs WI 3rd T20I Highlights: India defeat West Indies by 7 wickets.

India's young top-order will be under pressure to avoid a series defeat in the third T20 International against the West Indies on Tuesday. The Men in Blue, who last lost to the West Indies in a bilateral T20 series back in 2016, trail 0-2 in the five-match series.

The slow pitches on offer have not been the best for batting but as skipper Hardik Pandya pointed out after the loss on Sunday, India should have a found way to score additional 10-20 runs.
