This has been quite a torrid period for the West Indies. This period started off with a 3-0 Test series defeat at home at the hands of Australia, followed by a 5-0 defeat in the T20I series. The team management then decided to take some tough calls going forward, but the result still seems to be the same.
West Indies were forced to announce some changes in their T20I squad for this series owing to some injuries to players like Brandon King and Shimron Hetmyer. Besides injuries, they opted to rest Alzarri Joseph, whose form in the shortest format of the game of late hasn’t been really sturdy. The hosts opted for a different approach with a different mindset in this series, but the result still remained the same, at least in the first T20I.
With the second T20I on the horizon and the series on the line, West Indies can’t afford to lose this game, as they need to keep the series alive with a win in this match.
