West Indies vs India 2nd T20I Match Prediction

Preview

West Indies vs India: India used spin well to choke West Indies in the first game. There were a lot of throwbacks with Dinesh Karthik finishing well followed by Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja choking the West Indies. The West Indies line-up looks promising with both bat and ball. Consistency though is an issue, and if they manage to find a little more persistence they will be a lot more dangerous while closing out games.

Akeal Hossein

Akeal Hossein’s fielding and bowling are constantly on the rise. He is picking up blinders and taking wickets while maintaining a nice economy. His batting to is pretty good, and looking at his improvement, he surely has a promising future ahead.

Dinesh Karthik

Dinesh Karthik is the talk of the town now. He is making the most of his comeback and has defined what role clarity can do to a players confidence. His 41 off 19 balls was right in the top-drawer and stopping him now looks to be a huge challenge. He is striking the ball beautifully and has all but reserved his ticket to Australia.

West Indies vs India Match Tips

The first T20 was far to one-sided. West Indies were choked by spin and that could be the case in the second game as well with India likely to play a similar line-up. Unless West Indies manage to tackle the Indian spinners they are going to have a tough time this series.
