WI vs IND Match Preview
Nicholas Pooran has shown exceptional form for the West Indies. His recent exploits in the IPL and the MLC seem to have had a massive positive impact on his performance and has played an instrumental role in leading his team to wins in matches, and is the leading run-getter of the tournament.
However, it is now the turn of other batsmen to step up. Kyle Mayers and Brandon King haven’t been able to give the team a solid start.
Shimron Hetmeyer and Rovman Powell will be the key player for the hosts during the middle order. Much will depend on how the West Indian batsmen tackle the Indian spinners. Romario Shepherd has the potential to be a good all-rounder but he will need to work on his batting skills.
He has bowled well though, picking up 2 wickets in each game and the team will bank on him to bowl another good spell. Alzarri Joseph, Akeal Hosein, and Jason Holder have all contributed to the team’s good performance.
Momentum is on the home team's side and the experience of T20 cricket is really shining through.
Weather Report
The weather is expected to remain warm and humid with slight drizzling.
Pitch Report
The pitch at the Providence Stadium is quite hard and offers a good amount of bounce. There is light grass on the surface which will assist the seamers early on. The pitch however is a bit two-paced and the spinners will be in action throughout the match.
A score of around 160 is a par score.
