Hardik Pandya’s team India will be playing against the West Indies in the 4th T20I game with an aim to level the series 2-2 at Central Broward Regional Park Stadium Turf Ground in Lauderhill in Florida. Even after winning the previous game, their opening combination is still a cause of concern.
Talented left-hand batter Yashasvi Jaiswal who was asked to replace Ishan Kishan failed to make an impact in the last game while Shubman Gill has been going through a torrid run in the ongoing series. The only good thing for the Indian team is Surya’s form who had a great last match in addition to young Tilak Varma who has made a mark for himself ever since he donned the Blue jersey.
West Indies on the other hand have been only counting on Rovman Powell and Nicholas Pooran with the bat in this series. They would want other batters also to take the onus as Florida has a good batting wicket.
Talking about the changes, India will likely to go in with three spinners since the ongoing series has been played on slow surfaces. Also keeping in mind the batting-friendly pitch of Lauderhill, a fast bowler with extra pace will also add a different dimension and that is where Umran Malik chips in.
On the other side, Windies will likely to have Holder back in the playing XI as he played a crucial role in previous matches for his team.
