LAUDERHILL FLORIDA BATTING OR BOWLING PITCH?

As said yesterday, the pitch had to be batter-friendly, but India made it look just so easy. The team batting first have a slight advantage, but the Caribbean bowlers were overwhelmed by the terrific batting display of the Indian openers.

In the 5^th T20I, the pitch is likely to be the same and a high-scoring game will be on the cards once again. India (179-1) in 17 overs shows the batters will enjoy playing their natural game on this surface.

WI vs IND 5th T20I: Can West Indies pull off a comeback to clinch the series?

Both teams have a solid batting lineup and many hard-hitters. This will be a belter of a surface, keeping in mind what we have seen in the last game.

Batters will be in a mood to go hard out there and the Indian team will tend to repeat what they did and keep it simple. With Arshdeep Singh and Kuldeep Yadav taking the majority of wickets, the ball was coming on nicely to the batters.

West Indies could improve their bowling strategies and restrict/defend against the young guns of the Indian team. Additionally, the duo of Nicholas Pooran and Rovman Powell will be key in the batting department. It will be interesting to see if the home team can make a comeback to clinch the series.
