Nicholas Pooran, the left-hander, struck ten boundaries to help rebuild the innings and lift West Indies from a dismal position to a winnable one.
The spinner Akeal Hosein is looking forward to playing on this same pitch in the upcoming match. He drove in the winning runs on Sunday after going 2-29 with the ball.
Suryakumar Yadav, the vice-captain, was run out in the game on Sunday and has yet to demonstrate his true capabilities on this tour. He is, nevertheless, a batsman who can find the boundary with any ball.
West Indies vs India Team Preview
West Indies
The first two games have been won by West Indies, however, each victory was by a very narrow margin. They are becoming more confident, but India will respond in this encounter.
West Indies made no changes from their first-game triumph, and it would not be surprising if Rovman Powell named the same XI again in this match. Obed McCoy’s fitness has been an issue in the past, but he has looked strong so far this season.
India
India entered this series with the expectation that it will easily defeat the West Indies in the third format of the visit. Nevertheless, despite some excellent individual performances, they haven’t yet been adequate.
India made one change ahead of the second T20I, with Kuldeep Yadav ruled out due to a minor injury and Ravi Bishnoi replacing him. Yadav will very certainly be unavailable for this game due to the rapid pace of matches in this series.
West Indies vs India Team Playing Squads
West Indies Squads
West Indies
Rovman Powell (c), Johnson Charles (wk), Kyle Mayers, Shimron Hetmyer, Brandon King, Nicholas Pooran, Jason Holder, Akeal Hosein, Romario Shepherd, Alzarri Joseph, and Obed McCoy.
So far in the series, the West Indies have won when batting first and when batting second. Given the improved weather forecast for the second half of this T20I, we anticipate that both teams will prefer to field first.
In Providence, high humidity and isolated thunderstorms are expected on Tuesday. Temperatures are forecast to rise over 30 degrees.
The pitch was better for batting in the second T20I than it was in the first. Any score of 165 or higher in the first innings should be enough to win the game.
