After facing a crushing defeat in the three-match ODI series against India, West Indies skipper Nicholas Pooran said that he is looking forward to the upcoming T20I series. Top bowling spells from spinner Yuzvendra Chahal and pacers Mohammed Siraj and Shardul Thakur helped India crush West Indies by 119 runs in the rain-hit third and final ODI of the series here at Queen`s Park Oval on Thursday. "It was a tough one for us. We did a lot of right things in the first two games. I think we tried up our best, the boys performed well. But there were a lot of games in a short span of time. As a batting group, it was going to be a challenge with DLS coming into play. We did get some partnerships, but not as many as we wanted, that cost us the game," said Pooran in a post-match presentation.
"We gained a lot in this series after coming from Guyana. The bowlers bowled well in the powerplay, they didn`t get wickets, but that`s fine. The guys are getting more confident with every game. Very excited with our T20 team, looking forward to the game on Friday," he added. India has completed a clean sweep of 3-0 over the hosts. Following this, both the teams will be squaring off for the five-match T20I series, starting from Friday. India can walk away with a lot of positives after this match as their batting was great, lead from the front by openers Shikhar Dhawan (58) and Shubman Gill (98*).
