Iyer’s chase-ending century

Shreyas Iyer made the result feel inevitable long before the finish, blasting a 103 off 43 to power India to an eight-wicket win with 32 balls remaining. After India slipped to 62/2 in the powerplay, Iyer flipped the chase on its head, turning a potentially tricky pursuit of 172 into a sprint. The match’s defining passage came as he and Ishan Kishan stitched together a match-winning 137-run partnership that erased West Indies’ only real opening.

Middle overs blew it open

The game was decided in India’s middle overs: 110/0 at 12.4 an over after the powerplay, with no further wickets lost. That phase didn’t just keep pace with the required rate; it crushed it. West Indies couldn’t find a breakthrough once the second wicket fell, and the chase was effectively settled before the final five overs arrived.

Dhir, Kuldeep set the table

Naman Dhir’s 3/31 was the most telling spell in keeping the target manageable, backed by Kuldeep Yadav’s 2/33 and Axar Patel’s 2/26 in 3.1 overs. Then Iyer delivered the knockout blow, dominating the chase and ensuring Kishan’s support role in their 137-run stand was more than enough to finish the job.

West Indies’ recovery, then stall

With the bat, West Indies were 44/3 in the powerplay and needed a rebuild. Rutherford (56 off 34) and Shai Hope (52 off 37) provided it with a 63-run stand, lifting them through the middle to 91/5 at 10 overs. But India’s bowlers kept striking often enough to prevent a late surge from becoming decisive, and West Indies were bowled out for 171 in 19.1.

About Cricombo — cricket schedule, results & predictions

What is Cricombo?

Cricombo is a free cricket hub that combines the day's schedule, live scores, results and AI match predictions in one place. We cover the IPL and every major T20 league right down to smaller competitions the bigger sites overlook, so you get a full fixtures list and a prediction for each match without paywalls or sign-up.

How does Cricombo predict cricket matches?

Each prediction blends several independent models — machine learning, an editorial maths model and AI analysis — alongside the live bookmaker line. We factor in the confirmed playing XI, head-to-head history, recent team form and venue stats, then publish win probabilities for both sides before the match starts.

Are the predictions free?

Yes, every prediction on Cricombo is completely free. There is no subscription, no paywall and no account required — open any match to see its win probabilities, playing XI and preview.

How accurate are the predictions?

After each game we publish a full scorecard and report showing exactly how the prediction held up, so accuracy is transparent rather than a claim. Predictions are probabilistic — they estimate each side's chance of winning, not a guaranteed outcome — and work best across many matches rather than any single game.

Which cricket leagues and formats does Cricombo cover?

Cricombo covers the Indian Premier League (IPL), T20 Blast, Big Bash League, Super Smash, Pakistan Super League, the Caribbean Premier League and internationals, plus women's cricket. We also add smaller tournaments that mainstream score sites skip, so the schedule stays complete.

Where do the live scores and schedule come from?

The home page shows today's fixtures with live scores that update automatically as matches play out, plus a calendar to jump to any past or upcoming day. Past days show full results and scorecards; upcoming days show the schedule with pre-match predictions.
