IND vs WI 2nd T20I: A loss in the first T20I in Tarouba, brings the Indian team to Guyana 0-1 behind the hosts West Indies. The first T20I was played between the two teams on Thursday, August 3 and they will be back in action on Sunday. The second contest will be played at Providence Stadium in Guyana.
