IND vs WI, 2nd T20I: Providence Stadium, Guyana T20I records and stats

West Indies (WI) will be looking for another positive outcome as they host India (IND) in the second T20I match at Guyana’s Providence Stadium on Sunday, August 6. The hosts stunned the world no.1 T20I team to win the game by four runs at Brian Lara Stadium in Trinidad and took a crucial 1-0 lead in the five-match series.

India failed to chase 150 runs in the opening game as the Hardik Pandya-led side was clueless to finish the game despite dominating the majority of the game. Now they will be looking for a quick comeback at Providence Stadium which will host the next two games in this series.

West Indies and India have faced each other in only one T20I at this venue where the Men in Blue recorded an easy seven-wicket win in 2019. Notably, no Indian player from that win is part of India’s current T20I team. Teams batting second have recorded only 10 wins in 27 T20I matches played at Providence Stadium so far with an average first innings score of only 122.
