West Indies will square off against India in the second T20I at the Providence Stadium, Guyana on Sunday. The hosts took a 1-0 lead in the series after registering a four-run win in the opening game of the series. The Windies were able to come up with a perfect bowling performance as Jason Holder returned with match-winning figures of 2-19 in his quota of four overs.

We look at the current form, head-to-head, players to look out for, and squads of both teams in our match preview.

Current form of West Indies: W W L W L

West Indies bowlers came up with a collective show as they did a fine job in defending 149 runs in the opening game. Jason Holder made the most of his experience and used the slower ball with guile to keep the visitors at bay. However, the Windies will want to come up with a better batting show.
