India defeated West Indies by 14 runs in the third Twenty20 international at Indore on 11 October. India made 223 before restricting the visitors to 209 for seven, taking a 2–1 lead in the series.
Abhishek Sharma contributed 69 with the bat, while Arshdeep Singh took three wickets. Their performances helped India defend a substantial total despite West Indies continuing to challenge the target.
The result put India ahead after three matches, with the series still unfinished. It should not be described as a series victory: the remaining fixtures could still change the outcome, as the later fourth-match report records.
