MATCH PREVIEW

INDIA

  • India played fifteen T-20 international matches to date, winning 8 matches and losing 7.
  • Before this series, India had beaten Bangladesh last month 2-1.
  • Indian team impressed everyone in the first T-20 by chasing 207 runs but in the second T-20 match they disappointed their batting performance and their fielding has been a big letdown in both matches.

WEST INDIES

  • Recently, West Indies faced 1-2 defeat against Afghanistan in a series of three T20Is hosted at Lucknow, India.
  • In the second match, they brought in Nicholas Pooran in place of Denesh Ramdin.
  • The visitors, who have had a morale-boosting win in their last T20I match, are expected to field the same eleven on Wednesday.

PROBABLE WINNING TEAM

West Indies team has impressed so far in this series by giving a tough fight in the first T-20 to India and winning in the 2nd match. The confidence level of the visitors is very high, and they also beat team India on this very ground in the ICC T-20 2016 World Cup. But India is still strong and being the home side it has good chances of winning the 3 matches T-20 series.
