After a stupendous performance in the series opener, India (IND) will look to take an unassailable lead as they take on West Indies in the second ODI on Wednesday, September 30, at Barsapara Cricket Stadium, Guwahati. It was a dominant batting display by the Men in Blue, who chased down 296 in just 41.4 overs, riding on splendid centuries from Shubman Gill and Virat Kohli.
However, India struggled on the bowling front; the seamers failed to get a breakthrough with the new ball, as the West Indies openers John Campbell and Justin Greaves added 135 runs for the first wicket. It was Kuldeep Yadav’s (4/40) incisive spell that put the brakes on the West Indies scoring rate and stopped them for a score under 300.
On the other hand, the visitors failed to capitalise on a good start and will have to bat out of their skins to challenge the famed Indian batting lineup. Listless bowling and a poor outing in the field didn’t help their cause either. Hence, the Men in Maroon will have to bring their A game to the fore to give any fight against the rampaging Indian side, who look like sure-shot favourites to seal the series.

Players to watch out for in IND vs WI
Rohit Sharma (IND):
The India opener got off to a good start to his innings in the first ODI. However, he eventually holed out to deep square leg for 32 (35) against Alzarri Joseph. Rohit will come prepared to counter Joseph’s threat in the upcoming fixture and notch up a big score against his name.
Jayden Seales (WI):
The right-arm speedster was the most economical bowler from the West Indies in the series opener, giving away just 32 runs from seven overs. He almost got the prized scalp of Shubman Gill cheaply, but Keemo Paul ended up dropping a sitter at cover point. With some luck on his side, Seales will look to make early inroads into the Indian batting lineup.
