West Indies dominated the second T20I to level the series 1-1 with three games to go. They will be confident ahead of this match after a convincing win and an all-round performance.

India have done well on the tour so far and the previous game was an off day for the Men in Blue. They are very much capable of bouncing back and will look to put the defeat behind them in quick time.

#TeamIndia put up a solid fight but it was the West Indies who won the second #WIvIND T20I.

We will look to bounce back in the third T20I. 👍 👍
