After a narrow defeat in the first Twenty-20 International (T20I) against West Indies at Florida, India will look to square the two-match series at the same venue on Sunday. India needed just eight-run from the final over with a set KL Rahul and MS Dhoni at the crease. The final delivery saw India need two to win but Dwayne Bravo had other ideas. Dhoni was dismissed on the ultimate delivery of the game, which handed West Indies a nail-biting victory. ALSO READ: KL Rahul becomes 3rd Indian to score T20I hundred: Twitter explodes
Expect a few changes in the Indian side as few things did not go their way and will unquestionably look to strengthen their bowling. With the match being played on Sunday, expect the crowd to turn up in huge numbers at Lauderhill.
Batting first will be an advantage as the pitch hardly had any assistance for the bowlers and teams will look to have runs on the board. Expect another run-fest with India playing for pride while West Indies eyeing a whitewash. As of now, Florida is all set to witness another high-voltage encounter with the game being about to start.
We present you with the pick of the tweets from the micro-blogging site.
Shocker: Match called off due to wet outfield. India denied a sure-shot win. Again, no super sopper, no drainage #IndvsWI
