India vs West Indies 2nd T20I: Preview, Predicted XI

The first T20I between India and West Indies on Saturday saw bowlers driving the ship as the strip at Florida offered help to blokes with the ball. Men in Maroon, batting first, were only able to score 95 runs. While India in reply, also struggled, losing six wickets befofe crossing the line. 

Now the two teams will clash again at the same venue today in the second T20I of the three-match series. The pitch might not be the same this thing around, however, the overall conditions still look to be favourable for bowlers. Both India and West Indies are filled with stroke-makers though when pitch does a bit, it is never easy to get going. 

In the first match, seamers, as well as spinners, enjoyed their outing while the case is expected to same in today’s encounter as well. However, there could be some relief for batsmen as well. 

With series already shifting to their way, India would aim to seal it in the second match itself. They have a balanced side but batsmen need to come stronger. While for hosts, it is a do or die situation. They must register a win to remain alive in the series.
