The second T20I between India and the West Indies will be played at the Providence Stadium in Guyana on Sunday. The Men in Blue currently trail 0-1 in the five-match series.
India suffered a defeat in the first T20I in Trinidad on Thursday. Chasing 150 runs, they fell four runs short after none of the middle-order batters managed to step up with significant contributions. The likes of Hardik Pandya and Sanju Samson got starts but failed to convert them into match-winning knocks.
Despite the loss, star leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal is confident that India will bounce back in the next game. Addressing reporters on the eve of the second T20I, Chahal said:
"We lost by four runs but we played good cricket," Chahal told reporters ahead of the second T20I. "We will bounce back in the second match. Last time when I was here on 2019, it was washed out. I have watched a couple of CPL matches but that’s completely different. We will look at the wicket and how it’s going to play."
West Indies, on the other hand, will be high on confidence after making an excellent start to the series. Rovman Powell and Co. are likely to retain their winning combination and play an aggressive brand of cricket in a bid to take a 2-0 lead in the five-match affair.
