West Indies vs India 2023: WI vs IND 2nd T20I Preview, Playing XI, Live Streaming Details & Updates
West Indies took a 1-0 lead in the five-match series.
Hardik Pandya-led team India are gearing up for the second T20I against West Indies, which is slated to be played at the Providence Stadium in Guyana on Sunday, August 6. Notably, the Caribbean side pulled off a heist during the chase in the first T20I following which they narrowly won the thrilling affair by just four runs.
After the Windies posted a low-scoring first innings total of 149 runs, it was their spirited bowling performance which pulled off a stunning win from the jaws of defeat. The Men in Blue lost both their openers cheaply and their miseries were further compounded as the Windies ripped through the rival batting order to get nine wickets in the contest thereby helping them orchestrate a win.
In the process, Rovman Powell-led Windies have taken a 1-0 lead in the five-match series and will look to extend their win record at home in the forthcoming games. Meanwhile, team India will need to push through and need their unit to put up invaluable performances in order to get back on level terms in the series.
A crucial encounter is on the cards on Sunday’s blockbuster as Hardik Pandya and Co. will be gunning to get back to winning ways.
