Ind vs WI, 2nd T20I: Visitors to bowl first, Holder replaces Fabien Allen
Kieron Pollard-led West Indies won the toss and opted to field in the second T20I of the three-match series against India here at Eden Gardens, Kolkata on Friday.
India named an unchanged playing XI while West Indies brought in Jason Holder in place of Fabien Allen.
At the time of the toss, Windies skipper Pollard said: “Looks a good track. The last game dew was the factor. We will try to bowl first and limit them to a low total.
IND VS WI 2ND T20:
Continue to execute our skills. We can’t do much in a one-day break. One change. Jason is fit. Fabian misses out.”
On the other hand, Rohit Sharma said: ” We need to get back to our basics. It is a lightning outfield. Understand the game situation.
Bat freely and see what we need to do after Powerplay. As a team, we want to improve in all departments.
