India vs West Indies 2nd T20I LIVE Score: India will look to bounce back in the five-match T20I series with a victory in the second match on Sunday after losing the first game by a narrow margin of just four runs. Despite restricting West Indies to 149/6 in the first innings, India struggled in the chase as they lost wickets regularly.
With Axar Patel getting out on the first ball of the 18th over, the tailenders were left to complete the task in the last 11 balls when 21 was still required and India’s innings was restricted to 145/9.
Kuldeep Yadav was India’s No 8 and a long tail did not work in India’s favour in the first T20I. India captain Hardik Pandya may look to sort out the issue in the second T20I but with both the all-rounders Hardik and Axar Patel already part of the playing XI, India don’t have much choice other than dropping a blower.

If they do drop a pure bowler, their bowling options come down to just five which is also not an ideal scenario. In such a case India may look to give debut to Yashasvi Jasiwal and push Ishan Kishan to No 3 from the opening slot. That way Hardik could also be pushed down in the batting order to finish off the chase.
If this happens Sanju Samson could be the casualty from the playing XI. It’s also possible that India may continue with the same playing XI as they look to sort out the combinations before the 2024 T20 World Cup.
Whatever happens, India definitely need to change their batting approach. The openers were took cautious and a different approach would work better for them in the second T20I.
