IND vs WI 2022, 2nd T20I: Today's match players list, teams & umpires
Having taken a 1-0 lead in the five-match T20I series, Team India will be keen to carry on the momentum when they face the West Indies in the second game at St. Kitts on Monday (August 1).
In a somewhat bizarre development, the start of the match had to be postponed by three hours due to 'significant delays in crucial team luggage arriving into St. Kitts from Trinidad'.
The Men in Blue were clinical in the opening T20I, registering their fourth consecutive victory on the tour. Sent in to bat after losing the toss, Team India posted an impressive 190 for 6 on the board. Skipper Rohit Sharma top-scored with 64 off 44 while Dinesh Karthik smashed an unbeaten 41 off 19 at the death.
The Indian bowlers complemented the batting effort as the West Indies were restricted to 122 for 8 in their 20 overs. Arshdeep Singh, Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravi Bishnoi all claimed two wickets as the Windies never got into any position to chase down the target.
