After a strong win against West Indies in the first T20I, India managed to start the second match the same way they began the first — by winning the toss.

This time, however, Virat Kohli elected to have his team bat first. The match, played at the Central Broward Regional Park Stadium in Lauderhill Florida, will be umpired by Gregory Brathwaite and Nigel Duguid with Jeff Crowe as match referee.

India chose to maintain its lineup, while West Indies replaced John Campbell with Khary Pierre.

India: Virat Kohli (Capt), Shikhar Dhawan, Rohit Sharma, Manish Pandey, Rishabh Pant, Krunal Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Washington Sundar, Khaleel Ahmed, Navdeep Saini.

West Indies: Carlos Brathwaite (Capt), Khary Pierre, Evin Lewis, Nicholas Pooran, Shimron Hetmyer, Kieron Pollard, Rovman Powell, Sunil Narine, Keemo Paul, Sheldon Cottrell, Oshane Thomas.
