Pitch Report
The pitch has something in it for both the pacers and spinners with off pace deliveries yielding a number of wickets in the previous game. Teams will prefer chasing with the ball being difficult to grip in the second innings. Batting is best in the powerplay overs when the ball is hard and new.
Weather Report
Conditions aren’t ideal for a game of cricket with a lot of smog at the venue. Nevertheless, the game should take place with there being minimal chance of rain with dew expected to play a part in the latter half.
Injuries:
Fabian Allen injured his knee during the first T20I and could miss out for this game
Predicted XI
AFG:
Afghanistan could bring Sayed Shirzad for Fareed Malik, who had an off day in the first game. Apart from the one change, the Afghans should remain unchanged with a lot depending on the experienced trio of Mohammad Nabi, Najibullah Zadran and Mohammad Nabi. Rashid Khan was a touch expensive in the first game and would want to lead from the front in what is a must win game for them. Rahmanullah Gurbaz is one to watch out for at the top of the order.
Hazratullah Zazai, Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Ibrahim Zadran, Ashgar Afghan, Najibullah Zadran, Mohammad Nabi, Sayed Shirzad, Gulbadin Naib, Rashid Khan, Mujeeb ur Rahman and Naveen ul Haq
WI:
As for the Windies, Fabian Allen should be replaced by Khary Pierre with the rest of the side remaining the same after a successful start to the T20I series. Although Brandon King and Sherfane Rutherford didn’t do much, the duo of Evin Lewis and Kieron Pollard led WI to a match-winning total. Shimron Hetmyer hasn’t got going till now although he is still assured of a place in the side. Sheldon Cottrell and Kesrick Williams will once be key for the Windies with their slower balls being crucial.
