Good evening and welcome to the second Twenty20 International between India and Windies. This time all the way from Lucknow, that is making its debut today.

It's been a forgettable few games for the visitors, who gifted away the last two ODIs of the five-match series to India, before going 0-1 down in the three-match T20I series. With two to play, Windies, the reigning champions in the format, will be looking to turn fortunes around and end their India tour on a high.

Their batting has been a cause of concern for them, a unit which has failed to click collectively for them. Whereas India, despite having lost quick wickets at the top in the previous match, managed to pull off a five-wicket victory, thanks to Dinesh Karthik's composed unbeaten 31. Krunal Pandya had a good debut outing, while Kuldeep Yadav continued to succeed.

In their quest to keep the series alive until the last game in Chennai, Windies' batsmen will have to click. Will that happen today? Join us for the toss and more in a bit.
