Watch West Indies Vs. India Cricket Live Stream: First T20 International From Florida, Start Time, Preview

Less than a month after their elimination in the semifinal round of the 2018 Cricket World Cup, India takes the field again for the opening match of a West Indies tour that will actually open in the United States. Both teams are beginning preparations for the ICC World T20, which takes place in October and November of 2020 in Australia, per ICC Cricket. For India’s captain, Virat Kohli, whose club will be going for their second T20 World Cup title after winning the inaugural tournament in 2007, the West Indies tour is a chance to begin looking for the “best 15” to field in next year’s competition. But for West Indies, the reigning champions, the match will be the start of a transition from their 2016 championship side, in the match that will live stream from Florida.

“According to your team, and what each person’s strengths are, is what we’re trying to figure out,” Kohli said, as quoted by Cricbuzz. “It’s a very normal process in cricket at this level that whatever games you have you use it to build towards that global tournament.”

For West Indies, their T20 side has been in disarray since their inspiriting final-over triumph over England in the 2016 World T20 final. The Windies have played 33 games in the shortest format of cricket since that dramatic victory, and lost 20 of them, according to CricInfo. The ICC has dropped the West Indies world ranking to ninth overall.
