West Indies on Sunday recorded a comprehensive 8-wicket win over India in the second T20I at Thiruvananthapuram's Greenfield International Stadium. They chased down a target of 171 with nine balls to spare with opener Lendl Simmons being unbeaten on 67.

The win helps them level the three-match series 1-1.

Evin Lewis and Simmons went on to put an opening stand of 73 runs. In the end, Simmons and Nicholas Pooran came in and took the visitors home.

Earlier, Shivam Dube's masterful 54 off 30 balls was one of the chief reasons why India managed to post 170/7. Dube was promoted to number three and he repaid the faith shown by hitting a maiden international fifty.
