India will be keen to wrap up the series when they lock horns with West Indies in the 2nd T20I at Eden Gardens on February 18 (Friday). The visitors will aim to improve upon their batting display from the first T20I as they hope to stay alive in the series.
While it was a clinical win by India, captain Rohit Sharma was still not happy with the boys have performed. The spotlight will be on Ishan Kishan and Virat Kohli as India take the ground in Kolkata. However, the bowlers were brilliant for most parts, keeping the aggressive West Indies batters under check.
Improving in the batting department will again be the key area of focus for West Indies who will need to find their rhythm while setting up or chasing a total. The bowlers bowled admirably well to keep the side in the contest and skipper Kieron Pollard will hope that they showcase the same verve in the second match.
