The Brian Lara Stadium Tarouba, Trinidad will host the 1st T20I match between West Indies and India on July 29th at 08:00 pm IST.
After a fun ODI series, attention is now turning to the T20Is, with the opening match between West Indies vs India scheduled on Friday, July 29 at Trinidad’s Brian Lara Stadium Tarouba. The three One Day Internationals that the hosts hosted ended in blanks, therefore they will be hoping for a turnaround in the shortest format.
On the other hand, India excelled in the 50-over format and is now hoping to continue that level of consistency in the 20-over format as well. In order to lead the Men in Blue from the front, Rohit Sharma, who was rested for the first leg of this bilateral white-ball series, will now play. The Men in Blue will begin preparing for the Asia Cup in the United Arab Emirates and the T20 World Cup in October, thus the “Hitman” will be looking to maximize his possibilities in the upcoming five T20 Internationals.
Similar to the ODI series, the absence of important players like Virat Kohli and Jasprit Bumrah would be a fantastic chance for the up-and-coming players and the bench strength to make their case and put the national selectors on notice.
