West Indies v India 2nd T20I faces delay due to a technical snag

The 2nd T20I between India and West Indies faced an unforeseen technical glitch which delayed the start of the game by close to 30 minutes. The incident happened just after the toss.

MS Dhoni and Carlos Brathwaite, skipper of both the sides, came out for the toss. Mahi called it right and chose to chase once again. The issues showed up just when MS Dhoni was talking after the announcing his decision. The live telecast was cut short abruptly. It was diverted to the pre-match show Cricket Live leaving fans totally suprised. Later it was revealed that the interruption was caused due to a technical issue.

The second T20I is been highly anticipated by the cricket fans in the USA. The 1st game which was played just a day ago was a runs galore as both the team racked up 489 runs in one single game. The batsmen reigned supreme. The stadium was flooded by fours and sixes. A list of records was broken and many were under threat.

The game began with the West Indian openers Johnson Charles and Evin Lewis pummeling the Indian bowlers ruthlessly. West Indies went on to post a target of 246 runs for the Indian to chase. India dealt fire with fire as Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul, and MS Dhoni thrashed the West Indians bowlers with the same hyper-aggressive approach.

It all boiled down to one over. Indian needed 8 off it. Victory looked like probability with KL Rahul and Dhoni at the crease. But, Bravo made Dhoni wait and wait before getting him caught by Marlon Samuels at short third man off a slower one to help West Indies win the match by the narrowest of margins.
