After a couple of good performances by West Indies in the ODI series, it seems they have lost their momentum. In the last 2 Odis and the first T20 they lost pretty easily but in the 2nd T20 of India Vs West Indies series was a pretty boring match. Not at one point were West Indies in control. It seemed that they had given up all hope.
There was just one change in the Indian squad. Bhuvneshwar Kumar came in. In the first innings, West Indies won the toss and chose to bowl first.
