TEAMS PREVIEW

West Indies Preview

West Indies were led by Brandon king`s fifty at the top as he scored 68 runs off 52 balls with 8 boundaries and 2 sixes. Their other batters did not make a good contribution as they kept losing wickets before Devon Thomas`s last over heroics took their team across the line in a tense finish. West indies batters need to play more responsibly in this match to post a big score.

Obed McCoy started off the match with Rohit`s wicket off the first ball and never looked back as he registered superb figures of 4-0-17-6. Alzarri Joseph, Jason Holder, and Akeal Hossain chipped with 4 wickets and gave runs at less than 7 RPO as they bowled out India for 138 runs. Romario Shepherd or Dominic Drakes might replace Odean Smith in this match.

India Preview

India`s top order kept taking on the bowlers despite wickets falling at regular intervals with the scorecard reading 61/4 at the end of the powerplay. Rishabh pant (24 runs), Hardik Pandya (31 runs), and Ravi Jadeja (27 runs) played little cameos and took the team total to 138 runs before being bowled out.

Indian bowlers kept fighting despite the low total on board. After a wicket-les powerplay, the trio of Ravi Ashwin, Ravi Jadeja, and Hardik Pandya were excellent in the middle overs applying the chokehold and neve giving away any easy runs. Arshdeep was excellent in the death overs while Avesh Khan was given the responsibility of last over ahead of experienced Bhuvneshwar Kumar.

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

Bassetre is expected to have bright sunny and clear skies on the match day with no weather interruptions expected whatsoever.

Venue Details

Warner Park had a typical Caribbean wicket where the new ball bounced and seamed off the surface and it stopped a bit in the middle overs. Batters will need to apply themselves before going big on this pitch. We expect the scores to be around 160-170 runs in this match.

Toss: To Bowl

Chasing is the best option in T20Is off late as no target is safe and pitch remains same for both the innings.
