The scale of the power-hitting has been striking: 98 sixes have been hit in just 918 deliveries, or roughly one maximum every 9.3 balls. The report also noted that both sides have scored more than 800 runs in the series, underlining the relentless pace of scoring.
West Indies have struck 57 sixes across the series, according to the report. India, meanwhile, have registered a reported strike rate of 184.94 and scored 15 more runs than their opponents in the comparison highlighted by The Indian Express.
The Indian Express pointed to flat, batting-friendly pitches often used for white-ball cricket in India as one factor behind the scoring surge. The series has featured aggressive batting from both sides, putting sustained pressure on bowlers and producing a run-heavy contest.
At the time of the report, the five-match series was heading toward its deciding game in Bengaluru. The record pace and six-hitting figures provide a snapshot of the aggressive approach both teams have brought to this T20I contest.
