Date and Time : 6th November 2018, 7:00 PM IST
Venue : Ekana International Cricket Stadium, Lucknow
Team India have had a fantastic start to their T20I series against The Windies as they won without giving the opponents much chance. They will look to continue playing positive cricket.
The Bowling was superb as the Men from the Caribbean barely crossed 100. The Batting though will be expected to be a bit better as the team was in bit of a bother at one stage.
India will once again have to be at their very best against world champions West Indies.
On the other hand, The Windies will be disappointed with their overall efforts in the first game and quick improvements will be expected.
If they hope to win the T20I series in India then this game is a do or die. They will have to give their all and hope for the best.
Batsman will have to score enough runs if batting first to give their bowlers a chance and also be equally good in chase.
