Match factsSaturday, August 27, 2016 Start time 1000 local (1400 GMT)Big Picture Despite the formats popularity, it is fair to say bilateral Twenty20 internationals are not the newest fad in town. The sheer amount of effort and perseverance required to win a Test match gives importance to even dead rubbers. Bilateral ODIs are still a series, and 100 overs is a long enough duration for narratives to develop. Twenty20, more than any other format, needs a larger context: two points that might push you up a league table or a win that might save you from elimination from a World T20. Bilateral T20 series are played either at the end or start of a long tour almost as an afterthought; they are usually so unimportant that teams hardly bother with getting visas for their T20 specialists.However, these two, to be played over a weekend in Lauderhill in Florida, between world champions West Indies and the team they beat in the World T20 semi-final, India, are different. They carry an important context. While this is not the first time international cricket is being played in America, India v West Indies - two teams with a large expat following there - is way bigger than New Zealand playing Sri Lanka or West Indies.Cricket economy mostly runs around India. So when India go to America with all their delegates, when they sell the TV rights, when they sell the trophy rights, it becomes a big experiment for the future of cricket. This could even be a test run for a second IPL, a mini version, in America going forward; CPL has already had a stint in America that cant be termed unsuccessful.While these two matches are huge for the cricket economy and its globalisation - in terms of staging and not participation - the cricket carries more subtext than your usual bilateral Twenty20 internationals. Who can forget Darren Sammys impassioned speech after he led West Indies to their second World T20 title? Well, the WICB wants you to forget the man himself. He has been dropped despite his stellar performance in the CPL. Leading them now is Carlos remember the name Brathwaite.West Indies T20 success is down to their individual professionalism rather than the administration. Dropping an inspirational leader such as Sammy is not the first time the establishment has been less than conducive to their best performance; can they continue to excel regardless?Indias leader, on the other hand, is a man much relieved because he is not playing Tests anymore, but that means whatever limited-overs cricket he leads India in becomes extra important for him. He has not tasted first-hand the joys of beating Sri Lanka, South Africa and West Indies in Tests recently. Over the last year the two highlights for him have been the Asia Cup win and perhaps the Twenty20 series win in Australia. When a player doesnt get chances in all formats, his shortcomings in the only formats he plays can get magnified. The home series defeat to South Africa, and his failure at finishing off a chase against Zimbabwe means people will keep raising questions if he is going to be around for the 2019 World Cup.Form guide India WWLLW (last five completed matches, most recent first)West Indies WLWWWIn the spotlight Start time of 10 am on the weekend. Such an early start is okay for a Test or for an ODI, but defeats the whole idea of T20 as evening-time family entertainment. While this could affect the attendance at the stadium - healthy crowd is still important for the organisers - a prime time TV start for the Indian audience is what brings in the money from the broadcasters.Sammy might not be playing these matches, but that cant spell much relief for the opposition. His replacement is the now-fit Kieron Pollard. He had an indifferent IPL and CPL after missing out on World T20, and will be looking forward to getting back in form.Ajinkya Rahane does not feature in Indias first XI when everybody is fit for a Twenty20 international. While India seem to have dropped Suresh Raina and havent bothered with asking Manish Pandey to travel all the way from the A tour of Australia for just two three-hour games, Rahane is likely to get an opportunity to present his case.Team news India are likely to draft Mohammed Shami back in looking at his impressive comeback in Tests. Jasprit Bumrah should play. The other quick bowler could be a toss-up between Stuart Binny, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Umesh Yadav, depending on how much batting they need from the said bowler. It will be interesting to see how Dhoni goes with his spinners given how he wasnt very trusting of R Ashwins offspin in the World T20 and in the IPL.India 1 Rohit Sharma, 2 Shikhar Dhawan, 3 Virat Kohli, 4 KL Rahul, 5 Ajinkya Rahane, 6 MS Dhoni (capt. & wk), 7 Stuart Binny/Bhuvneshwar Kumar, 8 Ravindra Jadeja/Amit Mishra, 9 R Ashwin, 10 Jasprit Bumrah, 11 Mohammed ShamiSunil Narine is back with a cleared action, and should take Sulieman Benns place.*West Indies 1 Chris Gayle, 2 Johnson Charles, 3 Andre Fletcher, 4 Marlon Samuels, 5 Lendl Simmons, 6 Dwayne Bravo, 7 Andre Russell, 8 Kieron Pollard, 9 Carlos Brathwaite (capt.), 10 Sunil Narine, 11 Samuel BadreePitch and conditions According to The Weather Channel , the 10 inches of rain so far this month in Miami makes it the eighth-wettest August on record. A magnificent lightning show danced across the Fort Lauderdale sky almost non-stop from 7 pm until well after midnight on Thursday. A tropical low currently just north of Haiti and nearing the Bahamas is threatening to develop into the Atlantic tropical seasons eighth named storm as Tropical Storm Hermine. Preliminary forecasts are showing that if it forms into a full-fledged Hurricane, it may be on track to hit south Florida on Sunday.Stats and triviaIn 2010 Lauderhill threw up a slow tacky surface, which produced only one score of over 100 in two matches, but there was more T20 entertainment in store in 2012 when West Indies piled on 209 and 177 to beat New Zealand.The first-innings scores in the CPL matches in Lauderhill ranged between 206 and 137. Three of the six matches were won by sides batting first.Dwayne Bravo is one wicket short of becoming only the third player to reach the double of 1000 runs and 50 wickets in T20Is. Shahid Afridi and Shakib Al Hasan await him at the club.Quotes The only thing that we are doing is that we will prepare as best as we can because India is going to be coming looking for revenge for the semi-final loss and we have to make sure that we are ready for whatever they bring to us.West Indies coach Phil Simmons provides immediate context to the matchesWest Indies has always been a tough side, they are the T20 world champions. They are quality cricketers and have shown consistently how good they are and we had a tough match in the semi-finals of the T20 World Cup as well. In terms of the quality that we are going to encounter, we are aware of that.India coach Anil Kumble knows this West Indies side is slightly different to the one they beat in the Tests*18.20GMT, August 26: The preview had erroneously mentioned Denesh Ramdin as part of the West Indies squad. Al Oliver Jersey .Y. -- Bills receiver Stevie Johnson has a bone to pick with the NFL schedule maker. Bob Johnson Jersey . Most important, perhaps, it went off without a hitch. Organizers poked a little fun at the now-infamous opening ceremony gaffe that saw only four out of five snowflakes open up into rings, leaving the Olympics logo one ring short. https://www.cheappiratesjerseys.us/1252e-ralph-kiner-jersey-pirates.html . The quest begins with what is supposed to be an easy one, although Germany has traditionally been a stubborn opponent to Canadian teams at international tournaments. Chris Stratton Jersey . It is a cliché dragged out by fans and pundits regularly when discussions take place around which teams are better than others. Steve Blass Jersey . This should be celebrated because it will not always be this way. With the amount of money given to players by their clubs these days, it is a wonder that so many of those teams allow the sport to continue to take away many of their assets so they can play for a different team in the middle of their season. CINCINNATI -- Carson Wentz threw the ball directly to linebacker Vontaze Burfict, who made his second interception of the game.Just one bad moment in a game full of them for the Eagles rookie quarterback.Wentz threw a season-high three interceptions and could have easily had a few more picked off on Sunday during the Cincinnati Bengals 32-14 win .When the game was on the line, Wentz couldnt do much of anything in an injury-depleted offense.Its not the first time. Wentz is in a five-game slide that includes three touchdowns and eight interceptions. And its not as if hes getting surprised by opposing defenses.What we see on film throughout the weeks is what were generally getting, Wentz said .Call it a rookie quarterback learning the hard way.The No. 2 overall pick in the draft was an early sensation despite being the backup for most of training camp.He was selected as the starter eight days before the opener when the Eagles traded Sam Bradford to Minnesota. Wentz then became the first rookie in league history to throw at least one touchdown pass without an interception in each of his first three games.Now hes having trouble getting a depleted offense to move consistently. With receiver Jordan Matthews and running back Ryan Mathews sidelined by injuries on Sunday, the onus was on Wentz.The Eagles (5-7) fell behind 29-0 and woound up with their most lopsided loss of the season.ddddddddddddWentz was only 15 of 31 for 164 yards with a passer rating of 48.3 as the Bengals (4-7-1) took control. He threw a lot in the fourth quarter against a defense giving up the short pass. Wentz finished 36 of 60 for 308 yards with one sack, one touchdown, three interceptions and a 58.2 passer rating, his second-lowest of the season.Wentzs 36 completions were a club rookie record and tied for the third-most in club history overall. He has three 300-yard passing games this season, the most by an Eagles rookie.He was off-target on numerous throws and could have had several more passes picked off. Bengals defenders got in position to make an interception but dropped the ball.You throw the ball 60 times, youre going to miss some, Wentz said. That kind of happens.After winning those first three games, the Eagles have dropped seven of nine, falling out of contention in the NFC East.Teams have film on us and film on Carson, coach Doug Pederson said. Theyve attacked differently. It just all begins to kind of snowball.
