19:23 hrs IST Pitch Report This pitch is still very solid. Most critical thing is there are some dark spots here, due to the overnight rain. Yesterday was a little tacky, today could be the same due to the moisture. Any team winning the toss would want to bowl first.





19:20 hrs IST Team Changes While India won’t try to make any changes in their playing eleven and would stick to the winning combination, West Indies could include an extra spinner in place of Rovman Powell as the wicket might again be on the slower side.

The two have never faced each other in limited-over formats but expect sparks to fly when they do come face-to-face in Florida.





18:41 hrs IST Rohit Sharma vs Oshane Thomas Opener Rohit Sharma remains one of the most destructive batsmen in the shortest format and he will look to bring over his World Cup form into this series. He is likely to face the pace of Oshane Thomas early on in the innings. Off 18 deliveries from Thomas in T20Is, Rohit has scored 20 runs and he has been dismissed once by the fast-bowler.





18:30 hrs IST India Predicted XI Batsmen from both teams had a hard time in the sticky wicket, which was under covers for the better part of last week. But with sun baking down, one can expect better batting conditions on Sunday. India’s bowlers did a fine job by bowling West Indies out for 95 last night but batters did not perform to potential which may prompt the Indian think tank to opt for an extra batsman for the 2nd T20I. Here’s a look at the predicted XI for the 2nd T20I.
