West Indies vs India, 4th T20I: Match Preview, Head to Head, Playing XI and Broadcast Details
India is currently leading the series by 2-1, and needs just one more win to clinch the series.
As West Indies and India square off in the fourth T20I on Saturday, the action moves to Florida. Team India currently leads 2-1 and is backed with a resounding victory in Basseterre. In the previous match, Suryakumar Yadav held the advantage after scoring 76 off just 44 balls. However, West Indies have the pressure to mount a comeback and tie the series.
India will try to win yet another T20I series against the Windies when the two teams lock horns on August 6. The scoring responsibility lies with Suryakumar Yadav and Rohit Sharma as the opening duo has been in good touch recently. In 11 T20I matches this year, Yadav has scored 404 runs and recently jumped to the No. 2 spot in ICC’s recent rankings.
Shreyas Iyer has had bad performances in a recent while, and the team might make a little change to the combination. Bhuvneshwar Kumar, who is in good shape, will lead their pace attack. Arshdeep Singh’s abilities would be put to the test because of the excellent wicket that is available. Thus, with a very strong lineup, the Men in Blue will now look to seal the deal.
West Indies’ Kyle Mayers has been a promising player in the 20-over format this year. Having smashed a 50-ball 73 in the previous game, the left-hander was West Indies’ leading scorer. One more credible candidate at the top is Brandon King. Skipper Nicholas Pooran needs to rework his strategies and get going in with the bat. Windies players Jason Holder and Obed McCoy have early opportunities to gain ground.
Pitch Conditions
The fixture will be hosted by the Central Broward Regional Park Stadium Turf Ground in Lauderhill, Florida. With an average first innings score of 160, it has been a great batting track. Nine out of 12 T20Is have been won by the team batting first and since the surface assists the batters, the captain winning the toss would look to bat first.
