West Indies Preview

West Indies team can be never counted out in the T20I format with the experience of their players in the different T20 leagues around the world especially IPL. Evin Lewis, Brandon King, Skipper Kieron Pollard, and Shimron Hetmyer will form a destructive batting line-up who is capable of changing the momentum of the match in a matter of minutes. Denesh Ramdin will keep wickets in this match as Nicholas Pooran ban ends after this match only.

Jason Holder, Sheldon Cotrell, and Kesrick Williams will form the pace bowling trio of the team. Khary Pierre will slot in as the lone spinner in the playing XI with the likes of Hayden Walsh in the squad.
