IND vs WI Today Match Prediction: Having pocketed the first T20I by 6 wickets, the Men in Blue would be hoping to seal the fate of the series in the second T20I scheduled to take place on February 18 at Eden Gardens. Skipper Rohit Sharma (40) was at his sensational best and credits to Suryakumar Yadav (34*) and all-rounder Venkatesh Iyer (24*) for playing explosive knocks to chase down 158. Losing the toss and being put to bat first was certainly a disadvantage for the West Indies, and their miseries only added with debutant Ravi Bishnoi grabbing 2/17. Among the visitors, Nicholas Pooran (61) looked in a good flow while all-rounder Rostom Chase (2/14) packed economical figures in the second innings. Another fiery contest can be very well anticipated between the competing sides in the second T20I.

Bowlingwise, Ravi Bishnoi would be looking to cash in on his streak alongside Yuzvendra Chahal in the second outing.

The tour’s been competitive for them, and few outcomes could’ve been different if not for faulty performances as a unit in clutch moments. With the ball, the likes of Romario Shepherd, Sheldon Cottrell, Odean Smith and spinner Akeal Hosein would be hoping to wind up an improved show.
