Head-to-Head
India have won four and lost one of their last five ODIs against the West Indies.
India Form
India took complete control of the opening ODI in Thiruvananthapuram with an emphatic eight-wicket victory, underlining their strength in the 50-over format. They knocked off their target of 296 with more than eight overs remaining.
Shubman Gill laid the foundation with a composed innings of 110 while Virat Kohli produced a magnificent unbeaten 139 (10 fours, nine sixes). Their huge partnership effectively took the contest away from the West Indies after Rohit Sharma had contributed 32 at the top of the order.
Kuldeep Yadav was India’s standout bowler, taking 4/40 and breaking several important partnerships. Prasidh Krishna supported him with two wickets as India recovered well after the visitors had raced to 136/1 from their first 20 overs.
It was an impressive all-round performance from India that married controlled bowling through the middle overs with a dominant top-order chase.
West Indies Form
The West Indies’ top order brought their A-game in the first ODI to hit 295/7 batting first, but their bowlers just couldn’t contain India’s powerful top order.
Justin Greaves led the batting effort with an excellent 101 while John Campbell contributed 62 as the opening pair helped the West Indies race to 136/1 from the first 20 overs. Keacy Carty and Shai Hope departed cheaply, after which Amir Jangoo provided an important late contribution with an unbeaten 58 to lift his side close to 300.
The greater concern was the lack of success of their bowling. Alzarri Joseph and Roston Chase claimed one wicket each but the West Indies struggled to apply sustained pressure once Gill and Kohli had settled at the crease.
There were encouraging signs with the bat, particularly from Greaves, Campbell and Jangoo, but the West Indies will need a much tighter bowling performance if they are to offer India a serious challenge in the remaining matches.
Team News
India’s side was phenomenal so they are unlikely to make changes .The West Indies also performed well across the board so they are likely to keep the faith with the same starting XI.
India (possible XI): Shubman Gill (c), Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Ruturaj Gaikwad, KL Rahul, Naman Dhir, Ravindra Jadeja, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Kuldeep Yadav, Gurnoor Brar, Prasidh Krishna.
West Indies (possible XI): John Campbell, Justin Greaves, Keacy Carty, Shai Hope (c), Amir Jangoo, Jewel Andrew, Roston Chase, Matthew Forde, Gudakesh Motie, Alzarri Joseph, Shamar Joseph.
Verdict
India are overwhelming favourites to take the win. Virat Kohli looks unstoppable with the bat, while Kuldeep Yadav is in great wicket-taking form.
Justin Greaves and Alzarri Joseph are worth backing to star with bat and ball for the West Indies. I am also backing over 592 runs in the match as the venue is a haven for batters.
