West Indies beat India by five wickets in the second T20I here on Monday. Opting to bowl, Obed McCoy returned with a career-best six-wicket haul as West Indies dismissed India for 138.
By the virtue of this important win, the five-match series has now been levelled at 1-1. The Indian batters had a forgettable outing and were yet again outclassed by a left-arm pacer within a month.
Cricket West Indies (CWI) has confirmed that the second T20I between India and West Indies at Warner Park has been pushed to start at 12:30 pm (10 pm India) due to a delay in the arrival of team luggage.
This is not the first time, we are seeing an India vs West Indies match getting delayed due to luggage fiasco. In a 1994 ODI in Vizag between both the nations, the match was delayed due to the luggage going to Chennai instead of Visakhapatnam.
The pitch at this venue will be a little slow initially and will favour the spinners. The team chasing down the score will have greater chances of securing a victory in this fixture. A total of 150 will be a par score on this surface.
