Windies face must-win India showdown

West Indies need to win Friday’s second T20 International against India to keep the series alive and have any chance of becoming the first touring team to defeat the hosts in a T20 series at home in seven years.

India are on a ten-match winning streak in the format, while West Indies have won only two of their last 12 T20 games between the two sides. Additionally, West Indies have won two of their last five T20 games.

Speaking ahead of West Indies’ must-win game, assistant coach Ravi Rampaul said the bowlers would play a key role, given how easily teams have chased down large totals during the tour.
