New Delhi, Oct. 15 -- Shreyas Iyer-led India had the perfect opportunity to seal the five-match T20I series against West Indies in Hyderabad on Wednesday. India came into the match on the back of a 2-1 lead, and a win on Wednesday would have sealed the series with a match to spare.

However, India's death bowling was tested once again after they opted to field first, as West Indies posted a strong total of 247/3 on the back of Shai Hope's unbeaten 102.

In reply, India were restricted to 223/9 after 19.3 overs, with Arshdeep Singh, the No. 11 batter, retiring hurt after being struck on his left shoulder courtesy of a short-length ball from Shamar Joseph.

The defeat means that the series is now level at 2-2 and the winner will be decided ...
