PITCH REPORT- Daren Ganga is the pitch master for the game once again. He says there is a little bit of dark spots on the surface due to the overnight rains. He feels that it is a better wicket than yesterday. On the surface he says there is a bit of grass covering on the wicket.

Welcome ladies and gentlemen for the second T20I between West Indies and India in Florida. The bowlers dominated the first game on a sluggish surface and that made the game a low scoring affair. The venue and the pitch remain the same for this encounter as well and it's all about how the batsmen adjust to the conditions. The bowlers are expected to receive decent purchase from this track and if they perform like yesterday, the batters will have their task cut out. Let's hope for a more competitive battle between bat and ball. Stay tuned for more updates...
