The touring West Indies side has been far from being at its best and has failed to trouble the hosts in any of the matches so far. After being outclassed 0-3 in the ODI leg in Ahmedabad, the Kieron Pollard-led team was expected to give India some challenge in its favourite T20 format, especially after a 3-2 win over England in its last series at home. But they hardly managed to trouble the hosts in the first T20I on Wednesday, going down by six wickets.

India vs West Indies 2022, Ind vs WI 2nd T20I Cricket Score and Live Updates

Leg-spinner Ravi Bishnoi enjoyed a memorable T20I debut, finishing with figures of 2/17 as his googlies troubled the opposition batters, in India’s six-wicket win in the first T20I on Wednesday.

West Indies, meanwhile, will hope to level the series and force it into a decider on Sunday. The Windies haven’t won a single game on their current tour, having conceded the ODI series 0-3.

The Caribbean batters will be expected to step up on Friday. The likes of Brandon King (4) and Rovman Powell (2) failed to go big on Wednesday. Their biggest positive from the batting front on Wednesday was wicketkeeper-batter Nicholas Pooran, whose 43-ball 61 took the Windies to 157/7, while Kyle Mayers too played his role with a 24-ball knock of 31.

Odean Smith was the last to be dismissed off the final ball of the innings, but Pollard remained unbeaten on 24.

Bishnoi and Harshal Patel scalped two wickets each.

In reply, skipper Rohit Sharma (40) and Ishan Kishan (35) forged a 64-run stand for the opening stand as India got off to a quick start.

However, India lost their captain in the eighth over. Kishan then joined forces with Virat Kohli before the former was dismissed by Fabian Allen. In his 13-ball knock of 17, Kohli managed just a boundary, and just three balls after Kishan’s dismissal, Kohli followed suit.

Rishabh Pant (8) is usually a fearless batter but this time, he too, got dismissed for a low score.

India were 114/1 in the 15th over when Pant was dismissed, but a gritty 48-run stand between Suryakumar Yadav (34 not out) and Venkatesh Iyer (24 not out) sealed the deal for India.

India vs West Indies, Live Cricket Score: Sensible stuff from India. They don't need to do anything out of the box and extraordinary. They take singles and twos off the first four balls then there was one full toss to be hit but Suryakumar miscues it to the off side for a single. Shepherd then delives a full toss again, it's the dew effect it seems, Iyer smacks it to long on for a FOUR. 10 runs off the over. 9 NEEDED OFF 12 NOW.
