India vs West Indies 2022, Ind vs WI 2nd T20I Cricket Score and Live Updates
Leg-spinner Ravi Bishnoi enjoyed a memorable T20I debut, finishing with figures of 2/17 as his googlies troubled the opposition batters, in India’s six-wicket win in the first T20I on Wednesday.
West Indies, meanwhile, will hope to level the series and force it into a decider on Sunday. The Windies haven’t won a single game on their current tour, having conceded the ODI series 0-3.
The Caribbean batters will be expected to step up on Friday. The likes of Brandon King (4) and Rovman Powell (2) failed to go big on Wednesday. Their biggest positive from the batting front on Wednesday was wicketkeeper-batter Nicholas Pooran, whose 43-ball 61 took the Windies to 157/7, while Kyle Mayers too played his role with a 24-ball knock of 31.
Odean Smith was the last to be dismissed off the final ball of the innings, but Pollard remained unbeaten on 24.
Bishnoi and Harshal Patel scalped two wickets each.
In reply, skipper Rohit Sharma (40) and Ishan Kishan (35) forged a 64-run stand for the opening stand as India got off to a quick start.
However, India lost their captain in the eighth over. Kishan then joined forces with Virat Kohli before the former was dismissed by Fabian Allen. In his 13-ball knock of 17, Kohli managed just a boundary, and just three balls after Kishan’s dismissal, Kohli followed suit.
Rishabh Pant (8) is usually a fearless batter but this time, he too, got dismissed for a low score.
India were 114/1 in the 15th over when Pant was dismissed, but a gritty 48-run stand between Suryakumar Yadav (34 not out) and Venkatesh Iyer (24 not out) sealed the deal for India.
