India’s third T20I against West Indies is scheduled for Sunday, October 11, 2026, at Holkar Stadium in Indore, starting at 7:00 pm IST. That is 13:30 UTC or 10:30 pm KST. The five-match T20I series is 1–1 after West Indies won the October 9 match in Ranchi. This is the next-fixture guide, not a result or confirmed lineup for Indore.
The timing question has become more useful after the Ranchi result because the teams now move to a different city for the third match. BCCI’s official match centre identifies October 11 and Holkar Stadium. On the device used for this check, it labels the time 10:30 pm KST; that display should not be copied as an Indian evening start.
Why the series is level
Cricket West Indies’ official results record India’s eight-wicket win in the first T20I at Lucknow on October 6, with 32 balls remaining. The October 9 second T20I ended in a West Indies win by six wickets, with nine balls remaining. The earlier ODI series has separate results and must not be counted toward the five-match T20I score.
In Ranchi, India made 249/5 in 20 overs and West Indies reached 252/4 in 18.3 overs, according to the official record. That establishes a completed chase and the 1–1 series position. It does not establish who will win in Indore or explain all the causes of India’s defeat. Individual blame and a predicted third-match score are outside what these records show.
Convert the displayed time to IST
For an Indian calendar, set October 11 at 19:00 IST. The BCCI display’s 22:30 KST converts to 13:30 UTC because Korea is UTC+9; adding India’s UTC+5:30 gives 19:00 IST. The date remains October 11 in all three zones. A country setting on a search page does not necessarily change the device’s time zone.
That distinction also prevents confusing a start time with a toss or broadcast pre-show. The verified entry is the scheduled match start. The third-match XI and toss outcome should come from the dated match centre when announced; the previous match’s team sheet is not confirmation that the same players will start.
Follow the specific Indore match
Open the BCCI third-match link below to follow the fixture and its associated squads, news and videos. For the completed matches, use Cricket West Indies’ series results and select the first or second T20I rather than an ODI. A streaming page was region-blocked during this check, so this guide does not promise a free stream, a particular subscription price or a verified broadcaster listing.
The practical plan is to save the IST start and follow the specific Indore fixture for any schedule or team update. The series is level before the match; after play begins, the result needs its own completed record. Venue, date, format and match number are the checks that keep a current fixture separate from yesterday’s score.
BCCI’s specific Indore fixture and Cricket West Indies’ completed results were checked. KST is converted to IST. The next match is distinct from the Ranchi result; streaming fees, free access and an inaccessible broadcaster listing are not promised.
