PITCH REPORT – Shakera Selman and Daren Ganga are pitchside. Ganga says that the boundaries are pretty much the same and it is the same pitch used on the first ODI. Selman adds that a lot of grass has been rolled into the deck and bowlers might get some extra bounce. Ganga then informs that there was variable bounce last time around and it might be the same yet again along with the dominance of spinners. Selman ends by saying that the batters will face a stern challenge but the firmness might allow them to score a bit easier.
Hardik Pandya, the stand-in skipper of India, says that they wanted to bat first anyway. Adds that they want to challenge the batters by batting first. Mentions that they want to know how much they can score while batting first. Shares that the wicket was up and down in the last game. Informs that Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are resting as a few questions need to be answered. Reckons that it was a tremendous bowling effort and the fielding was equally good. Feels that they could have finished the game well rather than being 5 wickets down. Ends by informing that Sanju Samson and Axar Patel come into the side.
Shai Hope, the captain of West Indies says that they will bowl first and reckons that the conditions will help the bowlers early on. Adds that they need to put the last game behind them and look ahead to performing better. Mentions that the pitch has been a bit uncertain but both teams have to play on it, so, it’s okay. Says that they have the opportunity to bowl first here and will look to put the opposition under pressure. Informs that Rovman Powell and Dominic Drakes are out and Alzarri Joseph along with Keacy Carty comes into the side.
India (Playing XI) – Shubman Gill, Ishan Kishan (WK), Sanju Samson (In for Rohit Sharma), Hardik Pandya (C), Suryakumar Yadav, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel (In for Virat Kohli), Shardul Thakur, Kuldeep Yadav, Umran Malik, Mukesh Kumar.
West Indies (Playing XI) – Kyle Mayers, Brandon King, Alick Athanaze, Shai Hope (C/WK), Shimron Hetmyer, Romario Shepherd, Keacy Carty (In for Rovman Powell), Yannic Cariah, Jayden Seales, Gudakesh Motie, Alzarri Joseph (In for Dominic Drakes).
TOSS – The two captains are out in the middle. The coin toss lands in the favour of Shai Hope and the West Indies have opted to BOWL first.
On the other hand, a clinical effort by India’s spin twins, Ravindra Jadeja and Kuldeep Yadav, helped them skittle the West Indies out in 23 overs. The visitors opted to promote the middle and lower-order batters and did stutter a bit in the chase. However, Ishan Kishan’s entertaining fifty was enough to take India over the line. Despite the massive margin of victory, Rohit Sharma and Co. are likely to continue experimenting in their quest to fine-tune their team combinations ahead of the ODI World Cup. There is a bit of weather around but let’s hope it stays away. Will we see India gain an unassailable 2-0 lead? Or will the West Indies manage to force a series decider? Let’s find out. Toss and team news coming up shortly…
In the first ODI, the West Indies failed to show up with the bat, surrendering themselves against India’s spin brilliance. Only 3 batters were able to reach double figures and as a result, they could only muster 114 runs. Skipper Shai Hope fought a lone fight and would want others to put their hands up in this fixture. Gudakesh Motie and Yannic Cariah bowled their hearts out in the second half, but a low total meant they were unable to defend the total. The West Indies fans will be hoping that their side can put in a complete performance and draw level in the series.
Hello and a warm welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to our coverage of the 2nd ODI between the West Indies and India at the Kensington Oval in Bridgetown, Barbados.
