Welcome to the second and final T20 match between India and West Indies. It was a thrilling match last night. Both the teams played really well. Although West Indies came out winner, there was little to separate the two sides. Evin Lewis scored a brilliant century for West Indies and was countered by equally effective ton by KL Rahul. The difference was perhaps Dwayne Bravo, who used his slower balls to maximum effect. India lost the match but there were several positives for them to take from the match. It takes a lot of confidence chase such a mammoth total. Going into the second match, West Indies will be wary of India's batting capabilities. A better bowling plan is, perhaps, what India need today.
