Pooran and Holder Deliver first pitch
Ahead of the final two T20s both Nicholas Pooran and Jason Holder took timeout from their busy cricket schedule and took the baseball field. Both the players were seen geared up in the Miami Marlins kit with the team gifting them customized shirts. In the video posted on the WestIndies cricket board’s twitter account, they both delivered first pitch and spent the evening at the baseball field.
It has been a tough time for WestIndies on the cricket field, as they lost the ODI series 0-3 and are already trailing 1-2 in the T20 series. They were also beaten comprehensively by Bangladesh in the ODI series prior to India’s tour.
Miami ready for the final Two T20s
Miami’s Central Broward Regional Park Stadium will host the 4th and 5th T20 between India and WestIndies. The two teams will meet for the fifth time at the venue, with India leading 2-1 in the head-to-head affairs. One of the four clashes has ended in no result. WestIndies did win the first meeting between the sides in 2016.
However, India have won their last two meetings at the venue and will be determined to win the contest. Like Pooran and Holder, Indian players too were seen enjoying their timeout. The likes of Suryakumar Yadav and Hardik Pandya were seen enjoying on Thursday after they received their visas.

India to field strong Playing XI in 4th T20
- Harshal Patel was ruled out of the 2nd & 3rd T20 due to rib injury but if he gets fit by 4th T20, he will return with Bhuvneshwar Kumar rested.
- Kuldeep Yadav is also in the fray to return in Ravicnahdran Ashwin’s place. But if the conditions permit, he may partner Ashwin with two seamers playing.
- However, it’s Avesh Khan who is surely getting the boot. He was too expensive in his 5.2 overs in the series so far, conceding at 14.62 economy rate with just one wicket to show for.
- Shreyas Iyer too will be dropped after three unconvincing innings.
- Iyer has scored 0, 10 and 23 in the three innings. The 23-run knock came off 27 balls while Suryakumar Yadav hammered 26-ball fifty at the opposite end.
