The series opener, which India won by two runs via DLS method, was also marred by rain.

The series marked impressive comebacks of pacers Jasprit Bumrah and Prasidh Krishna from back surgeries after nearly a year away from cricket.
Bumrah led a the team full of youngsters in the absence of senior players with focus being on the ODI format ahead of the World Cup at home in October-November.
Ruturaj Gaikwad, who will lead the team in China, got to bat in back-to-back matches after sitting out for the majority of the West Indies tour. He scored a fine half-century in the 33-run win in the second T20 on Sunday.
The series will also be remembered for the much-awaited debut of IPL sensation Rinku Singh, who made an impact in the only innings he got on the short tour.
Sanju Samson, who is seen as a back-up to K L Rahul in the ODI format, made a brisk 40 though he has a slim chance of securing a World Cup berth.
