WI vs IND 2nd T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips
The second T20I of the five-match series between West Indies and India gets underway on Sunday morning in Guyana. After losing the Test and ODI series, West Indies have taken an early lead in this series after a 4 run victory in Tarouba on Thursday. Read on as we preview this second game. The T20I begins at the Providence Stadium at 10:30 local time.
West Indies surprised most pundits with their narrow win on Thursday but they were always expected to be competitive in this series. They will need to put in another strong performance to win this game.
India looked to be heading for a win with only 2 wickets down as they approached the halfway point of their chase in the opening game. We expect to see a response from the side in this match.

WI vs IND Match Toss Prediction
Historically, there has been no advantage to batting first or second at this venue in T20Is and, with rain potentially arriving during the second innings, we expect both skippers will want to bat first.

We expect this pitch to be slightly more batter friendly than the first T20I of the series. A par score is likely to be in the region of 170-175.

IND Team News
There were two T20I debutants in the India side on Thursday with batter Tilak Varma and bowler Mukesh Kumar making their first appearances. The lack of batting towards the lower end of the order was crucial in the first game so India may consider a slight alteration to the side.
IND Key Players
- Suryakumar Yadav- the vice-captain was only dismissed by a brilliant catch in the covers by Shimron Hetmyer on Thursday. He looked in strong form and will carry that into this game.
- Hardik Pandya- the skipper has now lost two and won one game whilst leading the team on this tour. He got the big wicket of Nicholas Pooran in the opening T20I.
- Yuzvendra Chahal- it was another excellent display of spin bowling from Chahal on Thursday. He dismissed both of West Indies’ openers and will be a threat throughout his overs in this match.
IND Team Form
India have a very strong group of players in this format but have lost two of their last four T20Is.
India Predicted Playing 11
Shubman Gill, Ishan Kishan, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya (c), Sanju Samson, Axar Patel, Arshdeep Singh, Kuldeep Yadav, Yuzvendra Chahal, Mukesh Kumar
