IND vs WI: Match Preview
West Indies must feel a bit confident after winning a low-scoring match on Monday. However, they lost the excellent start given by Brandon King, but in the end, a few lusty blows from the bat of Devon Thomas sealed the deal for the home side. But that can’t help them always. Still there is some issue with the middle-order batting.
Shimron Hetmyer and skipper Nicholas Pooran need to find a way to make runs. On the other hand, the bowling did a fantastic job of restricting the strong Indian batting to 138 runs. Obed McCoy bowled a dream spell and picked up six wickets. Other bowlers also bowled well on the pitch. They just need to replicate their performance to give India a challenge. The combination will be the same as no one wants to change the winning XI.
Well, after winning four matches on the trot, India faced their first loss on this tour. But that loss showed the area of concern for the team. The middle-order is under fire. Opening with Suryakumar Yadav hasn’t worked at all in two matches. It might backfire if SKY loses his confidence after a few failures. Shreyas Iyer is still looking venerable against the short balls and is making a mess at No. 3.
The second match showed the dependency of India’s batting on Rohit Sharma. The likes of Rishabh Pant, Hardik Pandya, and Ravindra Jadeja are throwing their wickets away after getting a start. So the batting is a little concerning. The bowlers did a decent job in trying to defend a small target. We might see a few changes as Deepak Hooda takes the place of Shreyas Iyer. Or we might see Bishnoi come back.
