IND vs WI 11Wickets Prediction, Fantasy Cricket Tips, Playing 11, Pitch Report and Injury Update for 2nd T20I

Preview:

India and West Indies will face each other in the second T20I on Friday. West Indies lost the first T20I after losing the ODI series. They are on a brink of another series loss against India. West Indies defeated England in a T20I series before coming to India but they have not played with the same intensity throughout this series.

India would be looking for a similar result to the ODI series. Virat Kohli’s form would be a concern for the team and Ishan Kishan’s slow batting in the first T20I would also be a talking point. The batting unit is yet to unlock its full potential and we might witness the same in this game.
