India vs West Indies 2nd T20I 2026

India and West Indies move to Ranchi for the 2nd T20I of the 2026 series, with the match scheduled at the JSCA International Stadium Complex on October 9, 2026. India arrive with a 1–0 series lead after an eight-wicket win in Lucknow, where captain Shreyas Iyer's unbeaten century powered a rapid chase of 172.

For fans heading to the Ranchi match, the venue matters as much as the team news. The JSCA Stadium has its own history, pitch characteristics, seating areas and match-day considerations, making this game different from the opening T20I at Lucknow.
