Pitch Report
"It is 66, 64 metres on the sides and 77 down the ground. There is a bit of light grass on the surface which may assist the seamers early on. It is generally a good surface and quite hard. 150-160 should be a good score. Slower balls will definitely play a part and most likely in the second innings." - Ian Bishop and Shakera Selman
19:39 (IST) Aug 06
West Indies Playing XI: Brandon King, Kyle Mayers, Johnson Charles, Nicholas Pooran (w), Rovman Powell (c), Shimron Hetmyer, Romario Shepherd, Jason Holder, Akeal Hosein, Alzarri Joseph, Obed McCoy
19:39 (IST) Aug 06

Looks a pretty good surface and hopefully gets better as the day goes along. We didn't lose wickets in clusters in the last game which was good to see. We have grown as players and it is about continuing to do the right things and keep improving as a batting unit. We are going with the same team.

West Indies skipper Rovman Powell

19:38 (IST) Aug 06
India Playing XI: Ishan Kishan (w), Shubman Gill, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya (c), Sanju Samson, Axar Patel, Arshdeep Singh, Yuzvendra Chahal, Mukesh Kumar, Ravi Bishnoi
19:36 (IST) Aug 06

We will bat first, the surface looks good. We will put a good score on the board. I don't think we did much wrong in the last game, we spoke about it and the focus is to learn and keep going ahead. When we have these totals, you gotta keep wickets in hand and that's what happened in the last game where we lost a couple of wickets during crunch moments. We have a forced change. Kuldeep got a hit on the hand yesterday in the nets, it is not serious and just a precautionary measure. Ravi Bishnoi comes in place of him.

India captain Hardik Pandya

19:33 (IST) Aug 06
TOSS TIME! India opt to bat first
India skipper Hardik Pandya won the toss and decided to bat first against West Indies in Guyana.
19:17 (IST) Aug 06
India vs West Indies: But at some point, both Avesh Khan and Umran Malik, the two tearaway quicks need to be given an opportunity and see if they can become the X-factor on docile tracks.
19:17 (IST) Aug 06
IND vs WI 2nd T20I: Arshdeep Singh is a work-in-progress as far as death overs bowling is concerned while Mukesh Kumar is reaping rewards for his good show throughout the tour.
19:16 (IST) Aug 06
India vs West Indies: Among bowlers, Yuzvendra Chahal has fallen off a bit in ODI pecking order and he will have a point to prove if he gets an opportunity in all five games.
19:15 (IST) Aug 06
IND vs WI 2nd T20I: Ditto for Samson, a perennial underachiever at the international level despite the talent that he possesses. He will be travelling to Ireland after this series and hence would be looking to add runs under his belt.
19:13 (IST) Aug 06
India vs West Indies: For India, Suryakumar would want to get a big one in his pet format and regain a bit of confidence that has eroded because of a lean patch in the ODIs.
19:01 (IST) Aug 06
IND vs WI 2nd T20I: The Nicholas Poorans, Kyle Mayers, Shimron Hetmyers, Rovman Powells, Romario Shepherds are on even keel, at least in this format and hence the Indian team will find this particular outfit toughest to beat in current circumstances.
18:53 (IST) Aug 06
India vs West Indies: But despite their declining standards in the two traditional formats, West Indies in T20 cricket remain a force to reckon with as they produce the maximum premium 'Guns for Hire' in the franchise market after Australia.
18:45 (IST) Aug 06
IND vs WI 2nd T20I: A better batting effort in the back-10 would be top priority at a venue where the West Indies haven't had a great T20I record. Out of 11 matches played at this ground, three didn't produce result due to rain and in the remaining eight, West Indies lost five games.
18:37 (IST) Aug 06
India vs West Indies: Trying out last IPL edition's sensation Yashasvi Jaiswal during the series if not the second game wouldn't be a bad option.
