Pitch Report: India vs West Indies : 2nd T20I Preview

Pitch Report:  It's one of the fastest wickets in the country where the pacers will get additional pace and bounce. The outfield is too quick and the ball travels quite fast into the fence. There is more help for the spinners as well which is interesting. It's difficult to defend the scores here and hence bowling first is a good option.

Ravi Bishnoi had a dream debut and won "Man Of The Match" in the previous game for his brilliant spell of 2/17 in his four overs. After his brilliant bowling performance, Rohit and Sky took the charge of the batting and help India to go over the line. However, India may not have any changes on their side as they will not break the winning combination.

West Indies:

The visitors batted really well in the previous game. However, they couldn't get over the line cause of their bowling in the second innings. Also, the dew factor has enforced them near to defeat. Nicholas Pooran has proved himself as he hammered 61 runs in the last match on Wednesday.

They will now be looking to win the toss and bowl first to neglect the dew factor. The West Indies side may have some changes on their side and we will let you know in the evening.
