India vs Windies 2018: 2nd T20I, Lucknow – Match Preview; So, it’s time for the T20I action at Lucknow. After a low-scoring clash at Eden Gardens, both the teams would like to put on a good show with their respective willows. Meanwhile, India will look to seal the series in the second match.
India would head into the game with a lot of confidence, as momentum is on their side. Their bowling department had come to the party at Kolkata, especially, the new entrants making an impact on the game.
However, they would be concerned with their batting lineup. Despite chasing a low tally, the effort of a number six and seven were needed to push for a victory. The form of Shikhar Dhawan has been a worrying sign, as he is failing to tackle Oshane Thomas up front.
On the other hand, Windies would have been happy with their bowling performance. They sent fear down the Indian batsmen spine with their incredible display of fast bowling. However, runs on the board weren’t enough to save the game.
The batting department needs to pull their socks up in order to make the things possible for their side. The reckless shot making dented them dearly in the first innings, subsequently, making an impact on the end result of the game.
Changes:
Most probably, India will.go with the same XI unless any forced changes because of an injury. On the other hand, the Windies might be tempted to hand the debut cap to Sherfane Rutherford.
