West Indies Could End India's Home T20I Series Win Streak Dating Back to 2019
· Sports · Sportstar, Times of India, ESPNCricinfo
The West Indies are poised to become the first team to win a T20I series in India since February 2019, having levelled the five-match series 2-2 after Shai Hope's century in the fourth T20I in Hyderabad. India has won its last 12 home bilateral T20I series in a row, a streak stretching back to before the 2022 T20 World Cup. The decider will be played at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Saturday, with rain threatening to wash out the match and potentially result in a drawn series. If the West Indies win in Bengaluru, they will break India's long-standing home dominance in T20I bilateral series. India has drawn two home T20I series since its last home series loss, both against South Africa in 2019 and June 2022.
Why it matters
A West Indies victory would end India's impressive home T20I series streak, impacting team morale and raising questions about India's vulnerability in familiar conditions ahead of major tournaments. It would also mark a rare overseas series win in India, boosting the West Indies' confidence in their T20I capabilities.
