MACTH PREDICTION: IND vs WI, 2nd T20I
In the second T20I of the three-match series, Team India will try to close the deal against West Indies. The Men in Blue have a 1-0 lead in the three-match series after winning the first match by six wickets, and a win in this match would seal the deal. West Indies, on the other side, will be looking for their first win on this tour after losing the last ODI series 0-3.
Meanwhile, West Indies put up a respectable performance in the 1st T20I and were in contention for the best portion of the series. The hosts, on the other hand, eventually chased down 158 with seven balls to spare. While the West Indies' Nicholas Pooran and Roston Chase performed admirably, the hosts' Rohit Sharma and youngster Ravi Bishnoi excelled.
