The final match of the series and it’s a decider. West Indies having won the first two games saw India coming back stronger with two back-to-back wins to make it 2-2. Now, we are in Florida for the second game here, which should be a cracker on the cards, with both teams eyeing to win the series.
With Shubman Gill finally performing in the 4th T20I, and Yashasvi Jaiswal making his mark in the T20Is, it was an excellent performance from the duo to take India through comfortably. Today, will also be one of the same, where they can strongly put their show in front of a packed stadium.
The pitch here has always been a batting friendly one, but the testament to this fact was evident in the 4th T20I as well.
With the team batting first having more advantage on this surface, it was a commendable effort from Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill to build on that strong opening partnership. The pitch was even to both spinners and the pacers, but bowling here is tough in general.
Brandon King in T20I
Brandon King has looked out of touch, but is a terrific hitter and can provide a explosive start in the power-play overs. He can be selected as a captain in grand leagues, which will be a very good differential pick.
Nicholas Pooran in T20I
Pooran has been striking well and is currently in a good form. He would be hoping to go out and smack once again to clinch the series for the team. In the last five T20 appearances, he has a century and a half-century to his name.
Shubman Gill in T20I
Shubman is a terrific batter, and was pretty silent in the first three games, but was imperious in the 4th T20I with a knock of 77(47). His T20 numbers are flawless and so can his performance in this one.
Hardik Pandya in T20I
Hardik has been in good form, especially with the ball. He has bowled full quota of overs in the first few games, and taken a couple of wickets. He can maximise points with both bat and the ball.
Looking at the performances, India have a higher chance of winning the series.
