West Indies need a win in Ranchi on Friday, October 9 to level the T20I series, and history makes that a tall order.
India have won 21 of their 32 T20I meetings with the visitors, including the last two, and they arrive on a run of 10 straight wins in the format.
Shreyas Iyer leads them after a maiden T20I hundred in Lucknow, with a line-up deep enough to have Axar Patel at No. 8.
Shai Hope has problems of his own. He hit two centuries in the ODIs, but he has lost four tosses on this tour.
Axar, Kuldeep Yadav and debutant Naman Dhir took eight wickets in the opener, so how West Indies handle slow bowling on a gripping surface matters.
India’s pace attack is also worth watching, as Jasprit Bumrah was rested and Arshdeep Singh led the bowlers in Lucknow.
India vs. West Indies 2nd T20I prediction: Who will win?
West Indies’ case rests on posting a strong total in 20 overs and then testing a batting line-up that has looked unlikely to crack at home.
Even without a big score from the top order, India have Ishan Kishan, Tilak Varma and Shivam Dube to carry the chase. Iyer is also in touch, and a captain who finds form at No. 4 makes this side much harder to stop.
If West Indies lose early wickets again, India should wrap up the game as comfortably as they did in Lucknow.
