WI vs NEP: Not many predicted what happened in the first T20I, but Nepal showed a great fight and pulled off a historic win. Now, with a 1-0 lead, Nepal will take on the West Indies in the second T20I on Monday. This match will be held at Sharjah Cricket Stadium at 8 PM IST.
West Indies Preview
West Indies were stunned by the way Nepal responded to beat them in the first game. It was due to a batting failure. West Indies will be looking to address the areas that they suffered and will be hoping for a better performance this time around.
- Key Batter: Kyle Mayers and Keacy Carty will be two exciting batters, who have been doing well.
- Captaincy: Akeal Hosein had a great opening spell, and he did well in his captaincy debut.
- Batting Strength: The batting will be under pressure, as they couldn’t chase down the target of 149 against an inexperienced bowling unit. So, it will be a big test for them.
- Bowling Attack: Navin Bidaisee and Jason Holder played a crucial role and will be the key players to watch out for. Holder bowled well for his four wickets, and other bowlers also did well. West Indies have a good bowling unit, which is performing well.
Nepal Preview
Nepal did the unthinkable and restricted West Indies to defend a low score. They will be pumped up after the first win and will be hoping to execute their plans to get another win here.
- Batting: Nepal need some improvements with the bat. The openers need to give them a good start so that the middle order can capitalize.
- Bowling: The bowling and fielding did an amazing job for Nepal. They bowled well according to the conditions and didn’t let many chances slip away in the field either.
