Abhishek Sharma set the tone for India's massive total with a explosive 69 off just 30 balls, smashing six fours and five sixes.
Led by Abhishek's rapid start, alongside Ishan Kishan (37) and Tilak Varma (28), India put up a mammoth 223 runs in their 20 overs.
Arshdeep Singh anchored the Indian bowling attack under pressure, picking up 3 wickets for 44 runs to stall the West Indies chase.
West Indies stayed in the hunt thanks to Shimron Hetmyer (43) and Kamil Pooran (42), while Shamar Springer fought till the end with an unbeaten 35.
Defending 223 successfully marks the first time a team defended a total in this series, pushing India ahead 2-1 with the action shifting to Hyderabad next.
