India vs West Indies 5th T20I: match details
- Match: India vs West Indies, 5th T20I
- Date: Saturday, 17 October 2026
- Start: 7:00 pm IST / 13:30 UTC
- Venue: M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru

- Status at the source check: scheduled / not started
The BCCI page identifies the fixture as “India v West Indies at Bengaluru, 5th T20I” and names M. Chinnaswamy Stadium. The Olympics.com schedule independently places the fifth T20I in Bengaluru on 17 October at 7:00 pm IST. [1] [2] The absolute date is retained here so the fixture is not confused with another India–West Indies result or with a “today” search after match day.
What the fifth and final label means
“Fifth and final” describes the fixture’s place in the scheduled series. It does not establish the series score, a winner, or a knockout situation. This remains a regular 20-over international match; any result belongs to this specific Bengaluru fixture and must come from a verified match-state record.
Team status before the toss
The focused BCCI fixture page displays India squad and West Indies squad sections, but no player names or final match-day XI were exposed in the source check. A squad is a wider selection for a tour or match window; the playing XI is the eleven confirmed for this game, normally around the toss. [1]
At the stated cutoff, no verified final XI, toss, scoreline, result, pitch inspection, match-time weather/current conditions, or injury/replacement bulletin was available. This preview therefore does not turn squad headings, a probable XI or an archive photograph into current match evidence. [3] [4]
Where to check the exact match status
Use the FairPlay India vs West Indies 5th T20I match centre for the score and status of this exact fixture. At the evidence cutoff it was an upcoming page without a verified scoreline or source-verified player list. This article is a pre-match source-checked editorial preview, not a live feed, and makes no automatic-update claim. [3]
