India vs West Indies Women Cricket Live Score, 2nd T20I (India Women National Cricket Team vs West Indies Women National Cricket Team Match Scorecard): The news from the middle is that the West Indies Women have won the toss and opted to bowl first. Harmanpreet Kaur has been rested and Smriti Mandhana will take over the leadership duties in her absence.
After a comprehensive win in the series opener, the Indian team would look to continue where they left off and continue their dominating performance. But the presence of the skipper Harmanpreet Kaur could be a concern as she had walked out of the field due to a niggle during the second innings of the previous game.
Smriti Mandhana has been in fine touch along with Jemimah Rodrigues and the two will be expected to get the big runs for their side once again. It remains to be seen if the hosts would consider making any changes to their side.
West Indies will look to come back into this three-match affair with a win. Skipper Hayley Matthews had a torrid time in the opening fixture and will look to come back stronger with a more improved performance from her end. Deandra Dottin had been the visitors’ best batter in the previous game and would look to continue her fine form, scoring runs in quick time.
The weather forecast indicates that there is only a two per cent chance of precipitation which means there would not be any interruptions due to rain.
