While Windies have endured a tough outing against the Indians so far, it was opener Evin Lewis in the previous match, who played a fighting knock of 65, but in vain.
He is likely to eye another such innings in this tie, while all-rounder Carlos Brathwaite and pacer Sheldon Cottrell would look to make an impact with the ball.
