Brandon King's fiery knock of 68 after Obed McCoy's six-wicket haul guided West Indies to a five-wicket win over India in the second T20I of the five-match series on Monday.

West Indies maintained a stronghold on the match in the chase with opener Brandon King playing an anchoring role after Obed McCoy's six-wicket haul helped the hosts bundle out India for 138 runs.

Chasing a target of 139, West Indies got off to a good start as their openers Brandon King and Kyle Mayers started smashing Indian bowlers all around the ground.

The hosts needed 10 in the last over of the match.

Devon Thomas hammered Avesh Khan for back-to-back six and four to guide his team to victory.

Earlier, the hosts were dominant during the Indian innings, with skipper Rohit Sharma sent off in the very first ball of the match after which India struggled to get proceeding.

McCoy's figures of 6/17 were the best by a West Indies bowler in T20Is and India were all out for just 138 runs on a ground that is known to allow batters to hit sixes.

India won the first match by 68 runs on Sunday.
