The second game of the ODI series between West Indies and India will be played on Saturday, July 29 at the Kensington Oval in Bridgetown, Barbados. India thumped the hosts in the first game to go 1-0 up in the three-match series.
After winning the Test series, India carried forward the winning momentum and beat the West Indies in the first ODI. After electing to bowl first, the Indian bowlers did a fantastic job of knocking over the West Indies on 114 in 23 overs. Skipper Shai Hope was the lone fighter for the hosts as he top-scored with 43.
It was the spin twin of Kuldeep Yadav (4/6) and Ravindra Jadeja (3/37), who spun a web around the West Indies batters. In reply, Ishan Kishan smashed a fifty at the top of the order. The Indian side changed the batting lineup and lost five wickets before getting across the line in the 23rd over.
The Caribbean side looked down and out in the opening game of the ODI series and was completely outplayed by the Men in Blue. Unfortunately, another series loss looms large over them and they will have to be at their absolute best. The Indian side has begun their World Cup preparation brilliantly and will look to seal the series on Saturday itself.
