West Indies will take on India in the second T20I at the Providence Stadium, Guyana on Sunday. The Windies drew first blood in the series, winning the opening game by four runs after Jason Holder delivered with the ball. Furthermore, skipper Rovman Powell top-scored with 48 runs for the home team.
Meanwhile, India could not deliver the goods with the bat as they managed 145-9 in the run-chase. Tilak Varma, Suryakumar Yadav, and Hardik Pandya got off to starts but none of them could go on to play a match-winning knock for the tourists.
Ergo, West Indies will look to continue the good show against India whereas the visitors will aim to bounce back in the series.

Kuldeep Yadav needs three more wickets to complete 50 scalps in T20I career.
