West Indies are hopeful of a win in their second ODI series as they take on India this afternoon.

West Indies vs India Match Preview

Nicholas Pooran explained the 1st ODI against India on Friday as “nostalgic” (July 22). Pooran has recently been talking about the West Indies’ challenges in the ODI series  They have only won once from their last six series in 50-overs cricket, which is a concerning sign. Their latest outing was a 3-0 loss to Bangladesh at home a few days ago.

Although they managed to wage a war that nearly resulted in a thriller when they played against India last Friday unfortunately, they lost the game.

Pooran has been inspiring his batsmen to step up in the format so as to be able to turn around West Indies’ fortunes, which is exactly what his team did in the hunt of 309. Pooran’s loss did feel like a win, and he now wishes to develop on that performance. They don’t have much chance to recuperate, and they’ll have to turn the situation around rapidly if they want to keep the series going.

Their bowling attack also did an outstanding job in the latter part of the innings, as India managed to score only 83 of the final 15 overs despite possessing eight wickets in hand. Whether they can now make early headway, their possibilities of pushing a series decider will improve even more. It won’t be easy, considering how well Shikhar Dhawan and Shubman Gill performed in the first stand. Despite playing a fifty, Shreyas Iyer struggled at the start against the pacers, that’s something to keep a close eye on.

India had also given Sanju Samson a second chance in the format by selecting him rather than Ishan Kishan in a new position at number five. Although Samson did not impress, presume the managers to keep him in the next two matches. In the absence of KL Rahul, Hardik Pandya, and Ravindra Jadeja, Samson, Deepak Hooda, and Axar Patel will look to perform better.

When: July 24, 9:30 a.m. local, 7 p.m. IST, West Indies vs. India, 2nd ODI
Venue: Queen’s Park Oval in Port of Spain, Trinidad
Expectations: Although rain is predicted 24 hours ahead of time, good weather is presumed on Sunday. With 600 runs scored in the first ODI, a further run fest might be on the cards, especially since the match is being played at the same venue.
