Starting of the battle in shorter format between India and West Indies, Kiwis eye on series win

India vs West Indies:

India will look to take the lead of 1-0 by winning the series opener against West Indies. India recently won the ODI series by 3-0 and in the last match, India dominated completely. Ashwin would have another chance after long time to prove himself in shorter format whereas Hooda will try to make his position stronger in the side by playing some quick knocks. 

West Indies have enough strength to beat India as Pooran, Hetmyer and Rovman Powell are brilliant batters in shorter format and they have ability to change the game in few overs with their power hitting. . Their bowling unit is also good as it includes both pacers(Alzarri Joseph, Obed McCoy) and spinners (Akeal Hosein, Hayden Walsh).

New Zealand vs Scotland:

After winning the first T20I, New Zealand would look to seal the series in 2nd and last game. Finn Allen and Ish Sodhi were the stars of the 1st match and Neesham was also brilliant but it was like a team effort which they would like to repeat in this match. 

Scotland performed poorly with both bat and bowl in previous match so they need improvement in both areas if they want to level the series.
