Providence (Guyana): The second match of the India-West Indies five-match Twenty20 series will be played on Sunday. The visitors will need a win today to reverse the shock and fatigue of their first leg loss. Otherwise, the West Indies will be on the verge of winning the series.
The four-run defeat at Taruba was also a learning experience for Hardik Pandya and his team. 150 runs in Twenty20 is not a big target and the team fell short of a boundary. When the giants in the front line entered the tent one after the other, the tail could not keep hope. Had it not been for debutant Tilak Verma’s 39, it would have been more pathetic.
Yashaswi Jaiswal, who came to the Indian team with his excellent batting performance in the IPL, shone in the Test series. Jaiswal, who did not get a place in the final XI of the first Twenty20, is waiting for an opportunity. It is also a matter of who will be trained if the star is brought. Ishan Kishan, Shubman Gill, Suryakumar Yadav and Sanju Samson made quick returns in the first game, but the Indian camp may also be thinking that tests are enough later as they are strong enough to make big contributions.
Among the pacers, Umran Malik and Avesh Khan are on the bench with hope. Excited to get off to a winning start for the West Indies. The Twenty20 series is played across three countries – Trinidad and Tobago, Guyana and the US.
