IND Vs WI, 2nd T20I Weather Forecast: Will Rain Threaten Ranchi Clash?

India will face West Indies in the second T20I of the five-match series at the JSCA International Stadium Complex in Ranchi on Friday, October 9. The hosts enter the contest with a 1-0 lead after a convincing eight-wicket win in Lucknow.

Shreyas Iyer will be one of the biggest talking points after his stunning unbeaten 102 off 43 balls in the opening game. India chased down West Indies' 171 with 32 balls to spare, while Naman Dhir's three-wicket haul and two wickets each from Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav helped restrict the visitors.

West Indies now face the task of keeping the series alive. Shai Hope and Sherfane Rutherford provided valuable contributions with the bat in Lucknow, but their bowlers struggled to contain India's aggressive chase. India, meanwhile, can take a 2-0 lead with another victory in Ranchi.
