West Indies vs India Team Preview

West Indies

Despite being predicted to be competitive in this series, West Indies’ close victory on Thursday stunned the majority of analysts. To win this game, they will need to deliver another outstanding effort.

Rovman Powell labeled his club as “boundary-hitters” ahead of the series opener, and we expect him to field a similar lineup for this game. There were no injuries reported following Thursday’s game, and the players have had two full days to rest ahead of this contest.

India

With only two wickets remaining in their chase in the first game, India appeared to be on track for victory. In this game, we anticipate a response from the team.

On Thursday, India made two T20I debuts, with hitter Tilak Varma and spinner Mukesh Kumar making their first appearances. The lack of hitting at the bottom of the order proved key in the first game, thus India may consider making a modest change to the lineup.

West Indies vs India outfield report

Providence Stadium

Historically, there has been no advantage to batting first or second at this site in T20Is, and with rain possible during the second innings, we expect both captains to bat first.

In Providence, the weather calls for a warm and humid day with the possibility of a thunderstorm in the early afternoon.

We anticipate that this pitch will be a little more batter-friendly than the first T20I of the series. A par score is expected to be between 170 and 175.
