India beat West Indies in the first T-20 like they did in the last ODI: pretty easily. They restricted West Indies to a total of 110 and chased the target almost 2 overs earlier. Today, both squads meet again for the India Vs West Indies 2nd T20 international. Let’s first take a look at the possible squads.

India playing 11

Rohit Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan, Dinesh Kartik, Rishab Pant, K.L. Rahul, Krunal Pandya, Kuldeep Yadav, Yizvendra Chahal, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Jasprit Bumrah and Khalil Ahmed.

West Indies playing 11

Rovman Powell, Darren Bravo, Shai Hope, Shimron Hetmyer, Denesh Ramdin, Kieron Pollard, Carlos Brathwaite, Keemo Paul, Fabian Allen, Khary Pierre, Oshane Thomas, Nicholas Pooran

In the first match none of the West Indies batsmen was able to score much runs. None of them crossed the 30 runs mark and that is why at the end of 20 overs they were able to score just 110 runs.

From the Indian side it was Kuldeep Yadav who stole 3 wickets with his dangerous spin and all other bowlers including Umesh Yadav, Khalil Ahmed, Chahal and Pandya got 1 wicket each.

Indian batsmen initially had problems due to West Indies pacer Oshane Thomas, so they would have to be careful of him in today’s match. Well, it is high chance that Jasprit bumrah and Bhuvneshwar would make a comeback in this match.

Krunal Pandya with his quick 21 runs off 9 balls helped India reach the target 13 balls left. At his side was Dinesh Kartik who scored 31 off 34 deliveries. It can be said that the pitch was favourable to bowlers.

The 2nd T20 will be held at Lucknow’s newly built Ekana stadium. It will be the first international match which is going to be held there. The weather conditions are going to be cool and clear so a lot of runs can be expected on the pitch. It will be a great opportunity for Dinesh Kartik and Rishab Pant to prove their worth and also for Khalil Ahmed who is stuck in the selectors minds due to his fast and accurate bowling skills.

The match starts 7:00 p.m. on Star Sports network. Tune in.
