India vs West Indies 2nd T20 Match Preview:-
Match: WI vs IND T20i Match Prediction
Time: 01 Aug, 08:00 PM (IST)
Series: 2nd T20i Match
Venue: Warner Park – Basseterre, Saint Kitts And Nevis
Info:
Nicholas Pooran has looked assured at the wicket throughout these white-ball series against India. He rarely takes a backward step and the captain is our pick for West Indies’ highest run scorer in this game. Obed McCoy took 1-30 on Friday after opening the bowling. He is a fine T20 player and are backing him to be West Indies’ top wicket taker.
Rohit Sharma was in fine form again at the top of the order in the opening game of the series and we expect him to be India’s highest run scorer in this match. West Indies were still in the contest before Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravi Bishnoi came on to bowl spin with Bishnoi particularly strong. We are picking him to be India’s top wicket taker against West Indies.
West Indies’ skipper has looked to have and has followed a plan when batting against India. He is our prediction to score over 30.5 in this match.

There will be something in this pitch for the pace and spin bowlers. We expect a par score to be over 190 with the ball coming onto the bat at good speed.

The hosts won the toss and chose to field first on Friday. However, this seemed to put undue pressure on their batting side and we expect to see India in the field irrespective of who wins the toss.

Team News:
WI Team News:
Nothing quite came off for West Indies on Friday. Alzarri Joseph made his debut in this format but then conceded 18 runs from his first over with Jason Holder’s promotion up the order as a ‘pinch-hitter’ yielding a duck from four balls. We expect to see the same XI with a reshuffled batting line-up in this match.
IND Team News:
The away side picked a spin heavy attack on Friday with Ravichandran Ashwin joining Ravi Bishnoi and Ravindra Jadeja in the team. Although this is not a huge spinning wicket, we expect all three to retain their places and India to select an unchanged XI.

Winning Chances:
Who will win today’s match: WI vs IND T20i Match Fantasy Team
Although India lost wickets at regular intervals in the first game of the series, there was never really a point where it was felt that West Indies were on top. The visitors turned the screw with the ball and we expect to see another three spinners for this game. Overall, we are backing India to win again.
Final Verdict
India are favorites to beat West Indies
WI Key Players:
Shamarh Brooks:
the opener top scored for the hosts at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy and ruffled a few feathers in the India bowling attack with his crisp hitting.
Nicholas Pooran:
the left-handed skipper looked assured at the crease before nicking off to Ravichandran Ashwin. He has a clear idea of how his team should play and performs in exactly that manner.
Obed McCoy:
the left arm quick got rid of the dangerous Shreyas Iyer for a duck on Friday. He has caused problems and taken wickets all summer long irrespective of venue or opponents.
IND Key Players:
Rohit Sharma:
the right-handed opener was at his dismissive best with the bat on Friday. He struck seven fours and two sixes and did not struggle against the Indian bowlers.
Arshdeep Singh:
the left-arm pacer caught the eye with exceptional accuracy in the first game of the series. He conceded only 24 runs from his four overs and dismissed Kyle Mayers and Akeal Hosein.
Ravi Bishnoi:
the spinner bowled exceptionally in tandem with Ravichandran Ashwin in the opening match. West Indies’ batters had no answer to him and regularly did not pick his googly deliveries.
