Preview:
In the first T20I encounter between the two teams, West Indies faced a defeat by a massive 84 runs. India’s new teen sensation, Shafali Verma, smashed a 49 ball 73, making her India’s youngest player to hit a half-ton in International Cricket, breaking Sachin Tendulkar’s record. Smriti Mandhana continued to show her form with the bat hitting 67 runs off 46 balls. No one from the Windies batting line up could hang in there on the field except Campbelle, who was run out at 33, resulting in them crumbling at 101-9 in 20 overs.
West Indies will look to make a comeback in the second game which will be held at the same venue – Darren Sammy Stadium in Gros Islet. At the same time, India will try and continue their winning spree. Skipper Stafanie Taylor, the only one who has been consistently performing for the Windies was out in the first T20I due to an injury that was certainly missed. West Indies will hope she makes a comeback.

Gros Islet, St Lucia, expects a temperature of about 30 degree Celsius with intermittent clouds and a chance of a shower. As always, the Darren Sammy Stadium pitch will be good for the batters.
