IND vs WI: India's West Indies tour has now reached its final stage. After winning the Test and ODI series, Team India is badly stuck in the T20 series. After losing the first two matches in this five-match series, the Hardik Brigade has retained itself in the series to some extent in the third match, but the work is not done yet. The last two matches of the series are to be played on August 12 and 13 in Lauderhill, Florida. But the figures that have come out before this can reduce the tension of Indian captain Hardik Pandya to some extent. Team India will play the 7th match on this ground on Saturday.

Team India has not lost in Florida for 7 years

Let us tell you that for the first time in 2016, the Indian team played T20 International in Florida. After that Team India played a total of 6 matches on this ground. The special thing is that after losing their first match on this ground in 2016, Team India has never lost here. The second match of the series in 2016 was inconclusive due to rain. After that in 2019 and again in 2022, India won 2-2 matches here and made a record of being unbeaten in the last four matches. Team India has played all 6 T20 matches here against the West Indies only. Now it is the turn of the current series where the Hardik Brigade would like to retain the old record.

Results of all matches of Team India in Florida

  • 1st match - West Indies won by 1 run (2016)
  • Second Match - No Result (2016)
  • Third match - Team India won by 4 wickets (2019)
  • Fourth match - Team India won by 22 runs (2019)
  • Fifth match - Team India won by 59 runs (2022)
  • Sixth match - Team India won by 88 runs (2022)
(All these T20 matches have been played here)

If we talk about the current series, then this team of West Indies has not yet allowed the Indian team to open their hands completely. Nicholas Pooran, Rovman Powell have shown strength in batting. On the other hand, in bowling, bowlers like Obed McCoy, Akil Hossain have troubled the Indian team a lot. In such a situation, the fourth and fifth matches can be very exciting. If you go by the old statistics of the pitch of Central Broward Stadium in Lauderhill, then the spinners have got more help here. In such a situation, the Indian team can only go with Akshar, Kuldeep and Chahal. At the same time, the role of Akil Hossain in the Caribbean team is going to be important.
