The West Indies surprised one and all by their exceptional bowling performance while defending a modest total of 150. They won the game by four runs in a close encounter to take an early lead in the series. While the batters failed to put on a collective show, the bowlers, apart from Alzarri Joseph, bowled well in tandem.

Meanwhile, this defeat must have been an eye-opener for India, who were firm favourites to win the contest. The batters lost their wickets at the wrong time, which derailed their chase. However, the team management would be pleased with the bowling show.

IND vs WI 2nd T20 Dream11 Prediction – Key Players to Watch/Key Stats

West Indies:

• Kyle Mayers has been in terrible form of late. However, he is a dangerous player who can unleash his beast mode anytime. His bowling is a bonus. Mayers will be eager to bounce back strongly.
• Brandon King looked in fine touch in the previous match. He has 430 runs at an average of 43 and a strike rate of 149.82 at Guyana in T20s. King will look to extend his record.
• Nicholas Pooran has been in fabulous form with the willow this year. In the last match, the southpaw made 41 runs with the help of two boundaries and as many sixes, soon after his brilliant 137 in the MLC 2023 Final.
• Shimron Hetmyer failed to make a mark in the last game. However, his batting prowess in the T20 format is known by one and all. A good knock might just be around the corner.
• Jason Holder won Man of the Match award in the previous rubber for his brilliant bowling display in the last game. He snared two wickets while conceding only 19 runs. He can also contribute with the willow.
• Obed McCoy has 11 wickets at an average of 18.36 and a strike rate of 12 against India in T20Is. In the last game, he took two wickets as well.

India:

• Shubman Gill had a rare T20 failure last game. However, his form in the shorter format has been exceptional. Expect a fine knock again.
• Suryakumar Yadav has scored 263 runs at an average of 37.57 and a strike rate of 168.58 against the West Indies in T20Is. He has a balls-per-boundary ratio of 4.10 against them.
• Tilak Varma showcased his supreme talent on his debut in the previous game. He smashed 39 runs with the help of two boundaries and three maximums.
• Hardik Pandya is one of the best all-rounders in the white-ball format at the moment. However, his batting form has been an issue in T20Is lately. Pandya will look to improve on that aspect. His bowling will also fetch a few points.
• Arshdeep Singh has nine wickets at a strike rate of 14.11 and an economy rate of 6.80 against the West Indies. He will look to add more to his tally.
• Yuzvendra Chahal bowled brilliantly in his first game of the tour, picking up two wickets in three overs. He is a quality T20I bowler and will hope to continue the fine work.
