August 4, 2019

India will look to clinch the three-match T20 International series against the West Indies (WI) when they face-off in the second T20I at Central Broward Regional Park Stadium Turf Ground, Lauderhill in Florida later in the day.

In the series opener at the same venue yesterday, India defeated West Indies by four wickets to take a 1-0 lead. Rohit Sharma top-scored for India with 24 runs in a small chase of 96 runs. Earlier, debutant fast bowler Navdeep Saini had claimed three wickets in an impressive spell as India restricted a reckless West Indies to a paltry 95 for nine in 20 overs.

After opting to bowl first, the men in blue with the help of Navdeep Saini, who starred on his senior international debut with three important wickets, restricted Caribbean on 95 runs for Nine wickets in 20 overs.

West Indies started off poorly when Washington Sundar struck in the first over while Evin Lewis was snapped up by Bhuvneshwar Kumar for 0. West Indies lost wickets at regular intervals but Kieron Pollard played an aggressive knock of 49 off 49 balls with the help of 4 sixes. The results would have been different if Pollard had got support from the other end.
