India will start as favourites to win the second T20I. The visitors have been a very consistent side in the shortest format for a while now and have dominated the West Indies for over a decade.

West Indies will have the advantage of playing at home but will find it difficult to beat a strong Indian side. However, the hosts have a strong T20 team and can beat any opponent on a given day.
