India faces off against struggling West Indies in T20

India have twice faced West Indies in Twenty20 internationals and come a cropper on both occasions. India first met the West Indies during the 2009 Twenty20 World Championships and lost by seven wickets at Lord''s.
West Indies repeated the dose in the second encounter, again during the Twenty20 World Cup but this time in Caribbean, beating India by 14 runs at the Kensington Oval.

For India, pace bowling is in the capable hands with Munaf Patel, a model of fitness and efficiency over the last few months. The visitors have a reasonable batting line-up on paper with Darren Bravo being the pick of the lot, yet it hasn''t quite translated into enough runs on the board in recent times. Coach Gibson has openly admitted that it is time his batsmen pull their weight and support bowlers who have been doing more than an adequate job.

Teams (from):
West Indies: Darren Sammy (capt), Christopher Barnewell, Devendra Bishoo, Darren Bravo, Andre Fletcher, Danza Hyatt, Ashley Nurse, Ravi Rampaul, Andre Russell, Marlon Samuels, Krishmar Santokie and Lendl Simmons.

India: Suresh Raina (capt), Harbhajan Singh (vice-capt), S Badrinath, Shikhar Dhawan, Virat Kohli, Parthiv Patel, Yusuf Pathan, Wriddhiman Saha, Rohit Sharma, Manoj Tiwary, Vinay Kumar, Ishant Sharma, R Ashwin, Praveen Kumar, Amit Mishra, Munaf Patel.

The match starts: 6.30 pm, (IST).
